Market Overview:

The global indoor farming market size reached US$ 17.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 32.5 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4% during 2023-2028. The rising concerns about food security and safety, continual technological advancements and changing temperature and weather conditions represent some of the key factors driving the market.

The Improved Efficiency over Traditional Farming Augmenting the Market Growth

The indoor farming market has been experiencing continuous growth as this method offers improved efficiency over traditional farming methods. Since traditional farming relies on natural weather conditions and the availability of fertile soil to grow crops, which can be unpredictable and often leads to lower yields. This is impelling the demand for indoor farming as it allows farmers to control every aspect of the growing environment, from lighting and temperature to humidity and nutrient levels, ensuring that crops receive the ideal conditions for growth. Additionally, indoor farming requires significantly less water than traditional farming, which is especially important in areas where water resources are scarce is acting as a growth-inducing factor.

Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented with many large multinational and small players operating in the industry due to the presence of strong competition. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the indoor farming industry on account of its nature of a high capital-intensive market and low product differentiation.

What is Indoor Farming?

Indoor farming is a type of agriculture method that involves growing crops in controlled environments, such as warehouses, greenhouses, or other indoor facilities. It involves the utilization of artificial lighting, climate control, and advanced technologies, such as hydroponics, aeroponics, or aquaponics. Its main aim is to provide an efficient and more sustainable method of food production, especially in urban areas where traditional farming methods may not be feasible due to several factors, including limited space, poor soil quality, or adverse weather conditions. This type of urban farming help to reduce the carbon footprint associated with traditional agriculture, as it requires less water, fertilizer, and pesticide use, and can minimize transportation costs and food waste. Its systems can vary in size, complexity, and crop variety, from small-scale home gardening systems to large commercial operations. Some of the commonly grown crops in the indoor farming method are leafy greens, herbs, microgreens, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had a significant impact on the global indoor farming method. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of food security and self-sufficiency, leading to a growing demand for fresh and locally-grown food, which has positively impacted the overall indoor farming method as it provides a reliable and efficient source of fresh produce that can be grown year-round, regardless of external factors, such as weather or pandemics. In addition, due to the disruptions in the traditional agriculture supply chain, causing delays and shortages in the distribution of fresh produce has propelled the demand for indoor farming method as a more resilient and adaptable alternative as it allows for the production of crops closer to consumers and reducing the dependence on long-distance transportation. However, the outbreak has caused economic uncertainty and volatility, making it more challenging for indoor farming companies to secure financing and investment, which had negatively affected the overall market.

Indoor Farming Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by significant growth in the agriculture industry. Coupled with the growing awareness regarding the benefits of the indoor farming method among the masses is providing a boost to the market. Along with this, the increasing demand for fresh and locally grown food products due to the rising concerns about food security, food safety, and environmental sustainability is creating a positive market outlook for indoor farming as it allows for the production of crops closer to consumers, reducing transportation costs and the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transportation. In addition, the continuous change in the temperature and weather is leading to the growing adoption of the indoor farming method across the globe as it helps in minimizing the chances of crop failures. Moreover, continual technological advancements, such as the emergence of LED lighting, hydroponics, and automation are impacting the market favorably. Furthermore, numerous initiatives are undertaken by the government of several countries to provide financial assistance to farmers is significantly supporting the uptake of indoor farming methods on the global level. Other factors, including rapid urbanization and the penetration of e-commerce websites, are also positively influencing the market.
