The growing popularity of veganism is expected to drive the expansion of the vegetable farming market in the future. Veganism is a lifestyle and dietary choice that entails avoiding animal products for food and other purposes, often motivated by ethical, environmental, and health considerations. Vegans typically refrain from using animal-based fertilizers and pesticides, which can contain harmful chemicals and contribute to soil and water pollution. Instead, they prefer organic and plant-based alternatives that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly, thereby increasing the demand for fresh vegetable products. For example, according to the Vegan Society, a UK-based charity, in 2023, Germany was the leading country for searches related to veganism on Google Trends, followed by Austria and the UK. Additionally, in 2022, the Good Food Institute reported that global retail sales of plant-based meat products reached $6.1 billion. Therefore, the rise of veganism is driving the demand for the vegetable farming market.
Population growth is expected to drive the vegetable farming market. As the global population steadily climbs, vegetable farming stands as a sustainable solution to meet the nutritional needs of an expanding populace. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development highlighted the world population reaching 8 billion in November 2022, projected to hit 10 billion by 2050. This escalating population drives the growth of the vegetable farming market.
Major companies in the vegetable farming market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as vegetable farming apps, to boost productivity, enhance crop management, provide real-time data, facilitate market access, and promote sustainable farming practices. These apps empower farmers by equipping them with the tools and information necessary for making informed decisions and optimizing their farming practices. For example, in August 2024, the East-West Seed Foundation, a Southeast Asia-based organization, launched a vegetable farming app aimed at improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers by providing access to better seeds and agricultural practices. A vegetable farming app is a mobile or web-based application that supports farmers with crop management, resource information, weather updates, market access, data tracking, and community support to enhance both productivity and sustainability in vegetable cultivation.
Major companies are focusing on technology-driven solutions, specifically insect control technology, to ensure sustainable crop protection and gain competitive advantages. Syngenta India, an ag-tech subsidiary in India, launched Incipio and Simodis in July 2023, employing PLINAZOLIN technology to combat pests in paddy, cotton, and vegetables. These solutions offer durable control against pests, addressing challenges arising from climate shifts and pest resistance. Incipio targets stem borers and leaf folders in paddy, while Simodis effectively manages sucking and lepidoptera insects in paddy, cotton, and vegetables, reducing the need for multiple applications.
In January 2023, BASF SE, a German vegetable seeds company, finalized the acquisition of ASL. This strategic move empowers BASF to continue innovating in the development of healthy and flavorful melon varieties.
