Indoor Farming Equipment Market Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis, and Forecast 2025 - 2034
The Global Indoor Farming Equipment Market was valued at USD 42.8 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9% to reach USD 98.9 billion by 2034. Several long-term factors are driving this expansion, including growing concerns about food safety and environmental sustainability. In densely populated areas, consumers increasingly favor locally grown produce, which tends to be fresher, more nutritious, and free from harmful chemicals. Additionally, rapid urban growth and declining soil quality have significantly reduced usable farmland, pushing both public and private stakeholders to invest in alternative cultivation methods within urban spaces.
As cities expand, the pressure to create food systems closer to consumers intensifies. This has sparked demand for modern farming solutions like vertical systems and container farms that function efficiently within city environments. Technological improvements have made large-scale indoor farming more practical than ever. Soilless methods such as aeroponics, hydroponics, and aquaponics allow crops to be produced year-round using fewer resources. Smart technologies now control every aspect of growth-from lighting and irrigation to temperature and humidity-ensuring higher yields, lower input costs, and increased efficiency. AI, real-time data sensors, and energy-efficient lighting solutions all contribute to a more scalable and productive ecosystem.

The lighting systems generated USD 12.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% through 2034. Artificial lighting is critical for indoor farming since sunlight is absent or limited in many facilities. Advanced LED lighting solutions have transformed the market by offering custom wavelengths designed to optimize different stages of plant growth. This tailored lighting supports better crop development while reducing power consumption. Modern LEDs not only require less energy but also have extended lifespans, decreasing maintenance needs and cutting long-term operational costs for indoor growers.
The greenhouse segment held the largest market share in 2024 at 52.5% and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2025 to 2034. Greenhouses strike a balance between efficiency and scalability, combining natural light with artificial systems when needed." These structures support a wide range of crops and are considered cost-effective due to lower energy requirements compared to fully enclosed indoor systems. Their flexibility makes them suitable for both mature and developing economies, and they remain a preferred setup for growing produce like herbs, vegetables, and ornamentals on a large scale.
United States Indoor Farming Equipment Market was valued at USD 10 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% through 2034. The U.S. market benefits from its early integration of advanced agricultural systems. Widespread support for innovation-alongside a network of vertical farmers, manufacturers, and research hubs-continues to drive growth. As demand increases for reliable, local food supplies in urban settings, cities across the U.S. are embracing climate-resilient farming technologies.
