Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. It often incorporates controlled-environment agriculture, which aims to optimize plant growth, and soilless farming techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. The global Vertical Farming market is expected to grow at a sound pace in the times to follow.
Vertical farming systems can be used across shipping containers, buildings, and abandoned mine shafts. The ability to set up vertical farming systems across urban centers has emerged as a crucial factor to propel the growth of the global Vertical Farming market. In addition to this, soilless farming techniques have also gained importance in current times. As well, the use of water-suspended minerals for vertical farming has helped in boosting sales.
Furthermore, plagues and diseases cannot affect crops that are grown across vertical farming systems. Further, the benefits of cost-optimization and production efficiency are some major factors that intensify the growth of the global market. Moreover, countries such as Singapore, London, Israel, and Japan have shown their dexterity in adopting vertical farming techniques. Several other regions and countries are taking inspiration from these regions. Additionally, state governments are providing dedicated spaces for vertical farming. All these key aspects are estimated to have a definite impact on the global Vertical Farming market in the forthcoming years.
Covid-19 Impact on Vertical Farming Market
A pandemic such as COVID-19 has not only affected the smooth operations of food supply chains but also resulted in food insecurity conditions in several nations. Manufacturers working in the sector are facing challenges in regards to operations, supply chain, training, safety, emergency responses, awareness, incident management, recreating business models, digitalization, and other unanticipated impacts. Alcohol, a major component in the beverage industry is facing a devastating effect of a pandemic. Around 13% to 15% of the craft beer sector in the world is in the process of shutting up shop, and the wine industry is in severe distress. Besides, shortage of raw materials caused to shut down of many small to medium food processing companies around the world
Vertical Farming Market Segment Overview
Based on Type, the Hydroponics segment is projected to witness significant growth in the global Vertical Farming market over the forecast period. Hydroponics is the technique or system wherein better-quality plants are grown without the soil. In addition, the technique is capable of enhancing per area yield along with reducing the usage of water. Therefore, due to the rising water crisis, the demand for hydroponics is increasing.
According to Structure, the Building-based vertical farms' segment is anticipated to dominate the global Vertical Farming market throughout the forecast period. The demand for this structure is growing owing to their capability to adapt any land area for cultivation by using tall vertical buildings or towers. Apart from this, new building and construction projects are also constructing spaces to install the structures.
