Indoor Farming Technology Global Market Report 2024

Indoor farming technology employs innovations to create an artificial environment within a closed facility, accelerating plant growth and nutrient uptake compared to traditional farming methods. It involves the use of controlled growing and nutrition systems, LED illumination, and layering for optimal indoor plant cultivation. This agricultural approach offers advantages such as the ability to produce more food using less land and avoiding the use of chemicals.

The primary types of indoor farming technology focus on cultivating fruits and vegetables, flowers and ornamentals, and herbs and microgreens. Fruits, being the mature ovary of a seed plant, are typically generated from flowers and contain seeds that contribute to the plant's reproductive cycle. Vegetables, on the other hand, are edible plants or parts of plants that may not necessarily play a role in the plant's reproductive cycle. These technologies encompass various components, including hardware, software, services, and integrated systems, with facilities such as glass or poly greenhouses, indoor vertical farms, container farms, and indoor deep water culture systems. Indoor farming utilizes cultivation methods like aeroponics, aquaponics, and hybrid techniques to optimize plant growth.

The indoor farming technology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $33.19 billion in 2023 to $37.51 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as increased demand for sustainable agriculture, urbanization, the local food movement, and a rising global population.

The indoor farming technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $60.07 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including climate change, water scarcity, shifting consumer preferences, government support and incentives, global pandemics, and concerns about food security. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass increased investment, technological innovation, the rise of vertical farming, the expansion of controlled environment agriculture (CEA), advancements in LED lighting, the integration of robotics and automation, the use of AI and data analytics, the development of novel crops and varieties, and an emphasis on collaboration and partnerships within the industry.

The increasing adoption of vertical farming in agriculture is poised to contribute to the expansion of the indoor farming technology market. Vertical farming offers several advantages, including optimized crop growth, reduced water usage, independence from external weather conditions, lowered labor costs, and improved energy conservation. In Europe, there is a notable surge in vertical farming, with several countries competing for market dominance, leading to the establishment of numerous new farms. For example, Jones Food Company in the U. K. produces approximately 400 tons of vegetables annually, such as kale, coriander, and radish, through vertical farming, utilizing around 5,000 square meters of space for vertical farms in Europe. Consequently, the increasing adoption of vertical farming is a driving force behind the growth of the indoor farming technology market.

The rising demand for organic food is anticipated to drive the growth of the indoor farming technology market in the future. Indoor farming technology enables the production of high-quality, sustainable, and pesticide-free organic food. This approach aligns with organic farming practices, emphasizing reduced or no use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), growth hormones, and certain food additives. In 2022, sales of organic food in the U. S. reached $60 billion, according to the Organic Trade Associations (OTA). Hence, the increasing demand for organic food is a significant factor propelling the growth of the indoor farming technology market.

Strategic partnerships are playing a crucial role in shaping the indoor farming technology market, with companies operating in unified endpoint management actively engaging in such collaborations. For instance, in May 2023, Seasony, a Denmark-based robotics company, partnered with iFarm LLC, a Finland-based indoor farming technology provider. This collaboration allows iFarm's customers to automate transportation and monitoring operations by integrating the Watney mobile robot platform into their agricultural installations. The partnership aims to provide farmers with an effective and sustainable indoor farming option, contributing to a transformative shift in the agricultural sector.

Major companies in the indoor farming technology market are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies, such as Growframe 360, to enhance their market presence. Growframe 360, launched by Innovation Agri-Tech Group (IAG) in September 2022, is an advanced vertical farming technology designed to revolutionize global crop cultivation. This precision aeroponic growth technology is fully automated and controlled through a human-machine interface (HMI) with real-time data monitoring. It utilizes coco peat instead of soil, eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides, or soil maintenance, and consumes 98% less water than traditional farming techniques.

In April 2021, AeroFarms, a U. S. -based indoor agriculture company, entered into a partnership with Hortifrut SA for an undisclosed amount. Hortifrut SA, based in Chile, is primarily involved in the production, distribution, import, and export of horticultural products and is a certified B corporation in Chile. The partnership focuses on researching and developing blueberry and cranberry production in fully controlled vertical farms and indoor environments.
