실내 농업 시장 예측 : 시설 유형별, 재배 시스템별, 컴포넌트 유형별, 작물 유형별, 지역별 분석(-2030년)

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Indoor Farming Market is accounted for $42.48 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $82.96 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period. Indoor farming is the process of growing crops in a controlled environment indoors. In order to attain the fastest rate of plant development, it commonly employs soilless farming methods like hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics as well as controlled-environment agriculture.

According to the European Commission, the amount of land used for agricultural purposes may fall to 172 million by 2030 from the current level of 176 million in 2017, with a corresponding decline in the level of EU arable land, from 106.5 million hectares in 2017 to 104 million hectares in 2030.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand for nutritious food

The growing demand for nutritious food is a significant driver in the indoor farming market. As consumers become increasingly health-conscious, there is a rising preference for fresh, pesticide-free, and nutrient-rich produce. Indoor farming, utilizing technologies like hydroponics, aeroponics, and vertical farming, offers a controlled environment to grow high-quality crops year-round, regardless of external weather conditions. This ensures the consistent availability of fresh produce that retains its nutritional value. Additionally, the ability to grow food locally reduces transportation time and associated nutrient loss, further catering to the demand for healthier food options. These factors collectively boost the appeal and expansion of indoor farming initiatives.

Restraint:

Fluctuation in climatic conditions

Fluctuations in climatic conditions pose a significant restraint on the indoor farming market. Unlike traditional outdoor farming, indoor farming relies heavily on controlled environments to optimize plant growth. Any deviation in temperature, humidity, or light levels can disrupt crop cycles and reduce yields. Additionally, extreme weather events, such as storms or heatwaves, can strain indoor farming infrastructure, leading to operational challenges and increased costs for maintaining ideal growing conditions. As climate change intensifies, the unpredictability of weather patterns further exacerbates these challenges, highlighting the need for robust climate control systems in indoor farming facilities to ensure consistent production and food security.

Opportunity:

Technological advancements

Technological advancements offer a plethora of opportunities in the indoor farming market. Innovations like vertical farming systems, hydroponics, and aeroponics enhance crop yields while minimizing space and resource requirements. Automation and AI-driven monitoring systems optimize plant growth conditions, ensuring higher productivity and reduced operational costs. Additionally, advancements in LED lighting technology enable tailored light spectra for different plant varieties, enhancing growth rates and nutritional content. The integration of IoT devices facilitates real-time monitoring of environmental variables like temperature, humidity, and nutrient levels, allowing for precise adjustments and predictive analytics. These advancements not only revolutionize agricultural practices but also promise sustainable food production in urban environments, addressing global food security challenges.

Threat:

Large upfront investments

Large upfront investments pose a significant threat in the indoor farming market, particularly for new entrants or smaller players. The substantial capital required for infrastructure, technology, and specialized equipment can deter potential investors. Moreover, the lengthy time frame for returns on investment adds to the financial risk. This barrier to entry limits competition and innovation, potentially stalling the growth of the indoor farming sector. To mitigate this threat, collaboration between industry stakeholders, government support through grants or subsidies, and advancements in affordable technology are crucial for fostering a more accessible market landscape.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID pandemic has a significant influence on the market in terms of sales since more than 44% of sales are hindered due to disruptions in manufacturers' transportation operations as a result of strict lockdown regulations and rising safety concerns. Additionally, the indoor farming sector has been damaged by supply chain disruptions, demand destruction, and changes in consumer behaviour spurred on by strict lockdown restrictions worldwide.

The greenhouses segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The greenhouse segment in the indoor farming market has seen significant growth due to several factors. Greenhouses offer controlled environments that optimize plant growth regardless of external weather conditions, ensuring consistent yields year-round. Additionally, advancements in greenhouse technology, such as automated climate control and LED lighting, have enhanced efficiency and productivity. Moreover, growing consumer demand for locally sourced and organic produce has fueled the expansion of greenhouse operations. Furthermore, the scalability of greenhouse farming makes it attractive for both small-scale and large-scale growers, contributing to its growth trajectory.

The soil-based segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

In indoor farming, the soil-based segment has witnessed notable growth due to its familiarity and proven track record in traditional agriculture. Many farmers and growers are opting for soil-based methods because of their perceived reliability and effectiveness in nutrient delivery. Additionally, soil-based systems often require less initial investment in specialized infrastructure compared to hydroponic or aeroponic setups. Moreover, some crops, especially certain herbs and root vegetables, thrive particularly well in soil environments, further driving the demand for soil-based indoor farming solutions. As technology advances, soil-based methods are also incorporating innovations such as precision agriculture techniques and IoT monitoring to enhance efficiency and yields, further fueling the segment's growth in the indoor farming market.

Region with largest share:

The North American indoor farming market has witnessed substantial growth in recent years due to several factors. Technological advancements in hydroponic systems and automation have enhanced productivity and sustainability, attracting investment. Increasing consumer demand for locally grown, pesticide-free produce has spurred the adoption of indoor farming techniques. Government initiatives promoting food security and environmental sustainability have also fueled market expansion. Additionally, extreme weather events and changing climate patterns have highlighted the vulnerability of traditional agriculture, further driving the shift towards controlled indoor environments.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia-Pacific region has witnessed significant growth in the indoor farming market due to several factors. Rapid urbanization and population growth have led to increased demand for fresh produce, driving the adoption of indoor farming technologies. Additionally, the region's limited arable land and unpredictable weather conditions have spurred interest in controlled-environment agriculture. Technological advancements, such as vertical farming systems, have made indoor farming more efficient and scalable. Moreover, governments in countries like Japan, China, and Singapore have been promoting indoor farming as a sustainable solution to food security challenges. As a result, the Asia-Pacific indoor farming market is experiencing robust expansion, attracting investment, and fostering innovation across the sector.
