The Indoor Farming Market size was valued at around $27.67 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach a value of $64.18 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.8% over the forecast period (2024–2032).
Rising consumer knowledge about the benefits of eating fresh and superior quality food is likely to grow the market. Growth in the population all over the world, particularly in developing economies like China and India, has boosted demand for food, hence likely to grow the indoor farming market in the coming years.
But the climatic changes add to the existing environmental issues, including soil erosion and groundwater depletion, impacting the food and agriculture production systems. Governments promote the construction of indoor farms along with other measures to combat this issue, which in turn is likely to drive the market growth. Organic foods are seen as healthier, nutritious, safer, and more environmentally friendly. One of the most important factors that drive the demand for organic food is the consumers' food purchasing behaviour, which is crucial for producers, policymakers, and suppliers to develop effective marketing strategies.
The World Bank Group indicates that the total arable land per capita decreased from 0.197 hectares in 2013 to 0.192 hectares in 2016. The lack of arable land due to land degradation has pushed the farmers towards using new measures to grow new food. The use of vertical farming methods is anticipated to allow indoor farm owners to cultivate crops indoors stacked in layers on racks, in a multi-story building, or a warehouse. It is foreseen that this will become a major trend in the market through 2030.
Indoor farms assist in cultivating the overall crop yield per unit area using the stacked potted seeds, thus propelling the market. Indoor farming is the cultivation of plants or crops indoors on both small and large scales. Indoor farming employs practices like aquaponics and hydroponics and makes use of artificial lighting to provide sufficient light levels and nutrients. But the high initial cost of constructing indoor farms and constraints on the growing range of crops is likely to slow down the market growth.
Europe had the highest market share in 2023, due to the use of technologies for greenhouses and vertical farms. Developed nations like the U.K., Germany, the U.S., and Canada are the early and fast adopters of farming technologies. But there is a rapid growth in the uptake of technology-integrated indoor farms in emerging economies like India, China, Mexico, and Singapore, driven by increased demand for fresh produce. There has been an increase in the disposable income and urban population in the emerging economies, which has raised consumption and demand for fresh, healthy, and nutritious foods, which is likely to propel the indoor farming market.
