Microgreens are considered a premium product due to their higher retail price points.

Indoor vertical farming is one of the newest indoor farming technologies. Most farmers are unaware of this technology and the crops that can be grown using this farming method. Sensors, artificial intelligence, automatic systems, hydroponic, aquaponic, and aeroponic systems are all used in vertical farming and greenhouse farming. A knowledgeable and skilled workforce is required to operate these advanced systems. Machine and computer maintenance also necessitates the use of technically trained individuals. The global shortage of skilled labour has impacted many industries. Furthermore, the majority of farmers enter this market with systems that are inefficient in terms of design and are costly. Furthermore, the variety of microgreens is extremely limited. Microgreens are not yet available in the vegetable range because vegetables come in a variety of types and species. These factors are anticipated to limit market growth.
Consumer lifestyle changes have been one of the major factors contributing to the growing popularity of microgreens in developing economies. Customers' food habits are changing in Asia-Pacific countries as per capita Income rises. The rise in aspiration and preference for a luxurious lifestyle has resulted in a significant Increase in market size and overall demand. Furthermore, per capita Income in Latin America and the Middle East has Increased significantly over the last decade, which is expected to rapidly boost demand for luxury food in the coming years, providing lucrative opportunities for the market.

Organically grown food is perceived by consumers to be healthy and a nutritious alternative to conventionally grown products. Traditional reasons for purchasing organic have been surpassed by concerns about health and food safety.
