The global indoor farming market reached a value of US$ 19.6 Billion in 2023. As per the analysis by IMARC Group, the top companies in the global indoor farming market are focusing on various technological advancements, such as the increasing utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT), to develop advanced monitoring systems that track the physical conditions of the crops and offer remote functions for operating water systems and light-emitting diode (LED) lights. Moreover, the rising preference among farmers to open indoor facilities closer to these urban areas, creating a local, stable, and sustainable year-round food supply, is creating a positive outlook for the market. In line with this, the increasing instances of droughts, floods, and other natural disasters across the globe have raised concerns over food security, which, in turn, is facilitating the demand for indoor farming.

Various technological advancements in farming sensors, monitoring, and regulating devices for each aspect of cultivation have further propelled the market growth. Apart from this, the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to track the development of plants and automate tasks involved in indoor farming, such as seeding, harvesting, and packaging, is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the increasing demand for sustainable farming, the development of high-tech, fully controlled, and semi-automated greenhouse facilities, and escalating requirements for stabilized crop production, are anticipated to drive the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market value to reach US$ 43.9 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
