Rising Focus on Vertical Farming and Smart Agriculture to Propel Market Growth
The plant factory market is expanding as individuals are increasingly looking for more sustainable and efficient ways of producing crops. The increased food demand, population pressure, and concerns over climate change and the availability of land resources are influencing the use of controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). Indoor farms and plant factories can produce food throughout the year, thus, they minimize the use of outdoor farming, which is greatly influenced by climatic conditions. The more often food-borne illnesses and contamination cases occur, the higher the need for fresh, pesticide-free, and nutrient-dense produce. Hydroponic, aeroponic, and vertical systems are becoming more efficient while expanding the capacity for large-scale production. With the increasing rate of urbanization, the plant factories can be a solution to food production in the local areas hence cutting down the transport costs and CO2 emissions while at the same time ensuring food freshness.
Key Drivers and Challenges Impacting the Plant Factory Market
Growth Drivers:
• Rising demand for food security and sustainable agricultural practices.
• Increasing adoption of hydroponic, aeroponic, and aquaponic farming techniques.
• Technological advancements in AI-driven monitoring, climate control, and LED lighting.
• Growing urbanization and the expansion of indoor farming to reduce supply chain dependency.
Challenges:
• High initial investment and operational costs associated with plant factory infrastructure.
• Energy consumption concerns related to artificial lighting and climate control systems.
• Limited consumer awareness in developing regions regarding the benefits of controlled environment agriculture.
• Regulatory challenges regarding plant factory produce labeling and organic certification.
The indoor farms segment is expected to dominate the market holding around 58.9% share by 2037 due to the benefits of controlled environment agriculture and effective use of resources. Indoor farming does not have to depend on the prevailing climate, hence continuous production of food of the same quality throughout the year. These farms consume relatively less water than traditional agriculture, making them ideal, especially in areas where water is scarce. Technological advancements in automation, data monitoring, and artificial intelligence in crop management improve productivity and operations. As the consumers’ awareness of the quality of the food they consume rises, hydroponics and vertical farming are set for tremendous growth in the future, especially in cities and areas with limited space for farming.
Asia Pacific excluding Japan plant factory market is expected to contribute a 35.4% share during the forecast period due to factors such as high population density, rising urbanization, limited arable land, and growing demand for food. With the encouragement of the China government to modernize agriculture and ensure food security, large-scale indoor farming is developing in the country. This is due to the adoption of automation and vertical farming technologies in the growing urban areas the megacities. Due to the problems related to water availability and supply chain management of food products, controlled environment agriculture is emerging as a popular concept in India. Startups and agricultural technology companies are turning to hydroponic and aeroponic farming to feed the growing population in urban areas. There is a growing middle-class population in Asia Pacific that is willing to spend more on fresh, clean, and locally produced food, thus the plant factory market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow.
The plant factory market is fragmented, and the companies are active in utilizing automation, resource management, and expansion in regions to establish a better market position. Some of the leading players involved in the innovation of the sector include AeroFarms, BrightFarms, Bowery Farming Inc., ESPEC MIC CORP., Farmship, Inc., FF Agro Technologies Pvt Ltd, Freight Farms, Gotham Greens, Hydrofarm Holdings Group Inc., iFarm, Indoor Harvest Farms Pvt Ltd, Keystone Technology Inc., and Leaf Factory Tokyo Co., Ltd. These firms are adopting smart farming technologies such as crop management by artificial intelligence, smart irrigation, and efficient lighting systems. Business relationships with retail chains, food distributors, and technology are growing their market horizons. The rising global interest in locally grown and environmentally friendly products ensures that these plant factory companies remain relevant in the evolving food production business.
