The indoor farming technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $68.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change, water scarcity, consumer preferences, government support and incentives, global pandemic and food security concerns. Major trends in the forecast period include increased investment, technological innovation, vertical farming, controlled environment agriculture (CEA), led lighting advancements, robotics and automation, ai and data analytics, novel crops and varieties, collaboration and partnerships.

The increasing adoption of vertical farming in agriculture is expected to boost the growth of the indoor farming technology market. Vertical farming offers several key benefits, including optimized crop growth, reduced water consumption, minimal reliance on external weather conditions or temperatures, lower labor costs, and improved energy conservation. According to a forum dedicated to sharing farming experiences, Europe is experiencing significant growth in vertical farming, with many countries vying for dominance in this market, leading to the emergence of numerous new farms. For example, in the UK, Jones Food Company produces approximately 400 tons of vegetables annually, including kale, coriander, and radish, through vertical farming. The company operates around 5,000 square meters of vertical farm space in Europe. Thus, the adoption of vertical farming is driving the expansion of indoor farming technology.

The increasing demand for organic food is anticipated to drive the growth of the indoor farming technology market in the future. Organic food refers to products cultivated using organic farming methods that avoid or significantly reduce the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), growth hormones, and certain food additives. Indoor farming technology facilitates the production of high-quality, sustainable, and pesticide-free organic food, minimizes environmental impact, and provides precise growing conditions, ensuring consistent quality, flavor, and appearance of organic produce. For example, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association (OTA), a US-based trade organization, reported that in 2022, organic food sales in the US reached $60 billion for the first time. Consequently, the rising demand for organic food is fueling 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 March 2024, AGEYE, an agritech company based in Raleigh, North Carolina, acquired HYVE Brand for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance AGEYE's capabilities in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) by integrating HYVE's automated vertical farming systems with AGEYE's advanced AI technology. HYVE Brand is a custom activewear company located in the UK, founded by a group of sports enthusiasts from IIM Ahmedabad and NIFT.

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.
