The global vertical farming market size was US$ 3.5 billion in 2021. The global vertical farming market is forecast to grow to US$ 13.9 billion by 2030 by growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030

Factors Influencing the Market
Demand for the vertical farming industry is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period due to the growing popularity of organic foods. Furthermore, the vertically stacked arrangement of these farms reduces the need for additional construction activity and land. Furthermore, it declines the amount of intervention demanded by machines during traditional farming. Thus, efficient vertical space utilization and resource allocationwill drive the vertical farming industry forward.
Farmers are focusing more on environmentally friendly production of fresh fruits and vegetables. Governments around the world are now encouraging organic pesticide with the aim to promote sustainable food production. These factors are expected to drive the growth of the vertical farming market during the study period.
The high investment required in vertical farming may limit the growth of the market. On the contrary, the rapidly growing global population and rising demand for food will also contribute to the growth of the vertical farming market during the study period.

Regional Analysis
The Asia-Pacific vertical farming market is forecast to grow at the highest growth rate, owing to the rapidly growing demand for fertile agricultural land. Furthermore, the rising popularity of urban farming in developing countries will also contribute to the growth of the global vertical farming market.
The availability of highly populous countries like China and India, combined with the growing urbanization, will decline the rate of fertile lands in the coming years. Thus, it will highly surge the need for urban farming. Moreover, the global vertical farming industry is expected to experience huge growth potential due to the growing expansion of genetically modified crop technology.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on the global vertical industries. The production facilities have been halted due to the global slowdown and unavailability of labor. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a significant and long-term decline in manufacturing utilization, travel bans, and facility closures. Thus, it slowed down the growth of the vertical farming market.
