DUBLIN, April 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Indoor Farming Technology Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Indoor Farming Technology Product and Application, Supply Chain Analysis, and Country Analysis - Analysis and Forecast, 2022-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global indoor farming technology market was valued at $5.84 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $17.12 billion in 2027, following a CAGR of 23.99% during 2022-2027.

The growth in the global indoor farming technology market is expected to be driven by increase in demand for food products produced sustainably with higher yields as compared to traditional farming technologies.

The indoor farming technology market is in a growing phase owing to different advanced technologies in the market. As increase in implementation of indoor farming methods such as aquaponics, aeroponics, and hydroponics also utilizes artificial lighting, such as LED lights, for adequate light levels and nutrients are further anticipated to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Industry Impacts

Indoor farming can be defined as the practice of growing produce stacked on top of each other in an enclosed and controlled environment. By using vertically mounted grow racks, the area required to grow plants is significantly reduced compared to traditional growing methods. This type of cultivation is often associated with city and urban farming due to its ability to thrive in limited spaces. It helps in reducing the usage of water, labour costs, occupational hazards, and chemical or pesticides.

The robust development in the indoor farming technology market is increasingly changing the customers' perception of its utilization. Due to factors such as inappropriate supervision systems, automated farming tools, and strong support from government bodies, a large number of players are entering the indoor farming technology market.

Impact of COVID-19

Due to COVID-19, the production of fruits and vegetables, microgreens, ornamentals, and others under indoor farming was hindered up to a level that led to low revenue generation. This has further hampered the growth of the indoor farming technology market in 2020. However, the improved COVID-19 situation is expected to grow in the studied market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 has also increased the demand for rapid pharmaceutical development, and vertical indoor farming can provide high-quality monoclonal antibodies, bio-inks, vaccines, and other proteins efficiently and quickly. This is further increasing the market size even further.
