List of Tables

The Indoor Farming Technology Market was valued at USD 20.80 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 22.73 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.49%, to USD 39.24 billion by 2030.

Indoor farming technology encompasses a range of techniques that create controlled environments for crops, including vertical farming, hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics. These systems allow cultivation without soil and control over variables such as light, temperature, and humidity, enabling year-round growth. The necessity for indoor farming arises from increasing land scarcity, adverse climate conditions, and a rising global population demanding sustainable food sources. Application-wise, it enables urban and suburban agriculture, reducing transportation costs and carbon footprints, while contributing to food security by diversifying supply sources. End-use sectors include fresh produce retailers, hospitality, research institutions, and food services. Key factors influencing growth include the need for sustainable agriculture practices, advances in LED lighting and IoT for agriculture, and urbanization driving demand for local produce. Opportunities are ripe in developing low-cost systems for wider adoption and integrating AI for precision agriculture. Investments in modular and scalable systems can hasten market penetration. However, challenges include high initial setup and operational costs, limited expertise, and energy dependency. Growth may be further hampered by regulatory uncertainties and technical complications in managing integrated systems. Despite these barriers, innovation lies in enhancing resource efficiency, developing energy-efficient lighting solutions, and integrating renewable energy sources to lower operational costs. R&D could focus on genetically optimizing plant varieties for controlled environments and advancing automation for labor cost reduction. The market is dynamic, reflecting a shift towards sustainable practices and increasing technological sophistication. Companies aiming for growth should focus on forming strategic partnerships for technology sharing and expanding education and training programs to overcome the skill deficit in this emerging field.
