Indoor farming is an alternative growing method where crops are grown in a controlled environment. It is employed to produce several vegetables and fruits, microgreens and herbs, and ornamentals on vertically inclined surfaces or under greenhouses and container farms. In the case of indoor farming, vegetables and other fruits are grown on a single level, such as in a field or a greenhouse.
Indoor farming technology involves the integration of numerous technologies such as big data analytics, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the internet of things (IoT) so that crops can be produced perfectly without any agronomic constraint. Aquaponics, aeroponics, and hydroponics are alternate farming techniques under indoor farming in which plants are grown in a non-traditional way.
Global Indoor Farming Technology Market Overview
The global indoor farming technology market is expected to reach $12,767.3 million by 2026, with a CAGR of 14.80% during the forecast period 2021-2026. The growth in the global indoor farming technology market is expected to be driven by increasing demand for food products, fresh and organic produce, and the requirement for an alternative growing method for sustainable agriculture.
Impact of COVID-19 on Indoor Farming Technology
The supply chain of most of the industries across the globe got impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the indoor farming industry. Even though produces are grown in a controlled environment in indoor farming, due to supply chain disruption, farms could not deliver the products to the market in the first stage of COVID-19. However, vaccines are available in almost all countries, and lockdown restriction has been evoked. Distribution channels are getting normalized; hence indoor farming companies are able to market their products, also gaining profits, and the market is growing.
