Indoor Farming Technology Market - Global Forecast to 2022

DUBLIN, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Indoor Farming Technology Market by Growing System (Hydroponics, Aeroponics, Aquaponics, Soil-based, Hybrid), Facility Type, Component, Crop Type (Fruits & Vegetables, Herbs & Microgreens, Flowers & Ornamentals), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The indoor farming technology market was valued at USD 25.40 Billion in 2017, and is projected to reach USD 40.25 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 9.65%.

The market for indoor farming technology is expected to grow in the next few years due to the growth in demand for fresh foods with high nutritive value and the adoption of protected cultivation.

The indoor farming technology market, based on growing system, has been segmented into hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, soil-based, and hybrid. Exposure to climatic changes, soil contamination, limited space in urban areas, and most importantly, low availability of water have resulted in a shortage of food production. The application of hydroponics growth mechanism helps to mitigate most of these risks and provides ample fresh produce.

The indoor farming technology market, by facility type, has been segmented into glass or poly greenhouses, indoor vertical farms, container farms, and indoor deep water culture (DWC) systems. The glass or poly greenhouses segment dominated the market as the area under greenhouse cultivation is larger compared to indoor vertical farms in countries such as the US, China, and the Netherlands.

The indoor farming technology market, by component, has been segmented into hardware and software & services. Climate control is crucial in indoor farming, as it creates an environment conducive to plant growth, thereby providing better quality products. To control the climate, hardware components such as climate control systems and lighting systems are essential. Other important hardware components are irrigation systems, sensors, and control systems.

The indoor farming technology market, by crop type, has been segmented into fruits & vegetables, herbs & microgreens, flowers & ornamentals, and others (cannabis and mushrooms). Currently, the indoor farming technology is largely used for the cultivation of fruits & vegetables such as leafy vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, and eggplants.
