Vertical farming refers to an innovative farming technique that involves growing food and medicinal plants in vertically stacked layers. It is adopted for producing crops with artificial control of light, temperature, humidity and gases. Vertical farming utilizes a combination of methods involving hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics to grow crops without soil using mineral nutrient solutions, such as peat moss and coconut husk, or aquatic animals, such as snail, fish and prawns. It is highly beneficial for crop cultivation on arid lands, mountains, unfertile lands, indoors and rooftops of the buildings. In comparison to the traditional farming practices, vertical farming is sustainable and has lower water and energy requirements.
A rapid increase in the global population, along with rising scarcity of arable land, is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, an escalating requirement for stabilized crop production to meet the rising food demands is providing a thrust to the market growth. In line with this, the legalization of cannabis cultivation for medical and recreational purposes is also contributing to the growth of the market. Various technological advancements in light-emitting diode (LED) technology and the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled sensors and monitoring devices are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These novel LED top-lighting and inter-lighting solutions aid in reducing the farming costs and increasing the overall yield. Other factors, including the rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with the implementation of favorable government policies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
