Indoor vertical farming is the practice of growing agricultural products in a controlled setting, such a building, where the crops are given the right conditions, including the right amount of light, water, temperature, and growth media. Because it increases land productivity and enables growers to produce in any season, this farming technique has been gaining significant popularity in the worldwide microgreens industry. The United Nations estimates that by 2050, there will be 9.8 billion people on the planet, and traditional farming practices would not be able to meet the demand for food. Due to the loss of natural resources and declining productivity of agricultural land, agricultural production is currently declining daily.
Market Dynamics - Market Drivers
- Growing interest in indoor farming
The process of growing food crops in a controlled environment so they can be produced with great yield in any season is known as indoor farming. Farmers have been turning to indoor farming because of rising food demand and declining agricultural food output. Reduced fertile land, adverse weather, and restrictions on the use of natural resources are the main causes of the decline in agricultural output. Due to these circumstances, conventional farming's output is insufficient to meet the demands of the expanding population. For example, the United Nations (UN) estimates that the world's population, which is currently 7.6 billion, will increase to 9.8 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100 (UN, 2017). Because of the advantages they offer, including increased agricultural land productivity, protection from harsh weather, more effective use of productive resources, and reduced risk of pests, weeds, and crop diseases, greenhouses and indoor vertical farming are the most popular farming methods for producing microgreens. Additionally, farmers are being encouraged to pursue farming by the rise in technological advances in indoor farming, such as the resurgence of information technology in greenhouses and vertical farming, which indirectly supports the growth of the global microgreens market during the forecast period.
Market Opportunities
- A rise in the purchasing power
One of the main reasons why microgreens are becoming more and more popular in developing nations is changes in consumer lifestyle. The rise in per capita income in Asia-Pacific nations has caused consumers' eating habits to shift. The market size and overall demand have increased significantly as a result of rising aspirations and a preference for luxury lifestyles. Furthermore, over the past ten years, per capita income in Latin America and the Middle East has significantly increased, which is anticipated to significantly raise demand for luxury cuisine in the years to come, offering the industry lucrative potential.
Market Restraining Factors
- Limited crop range for microgreens and a shortage of skilled labor
One of the newest innovations in indoor farming is indoor vertical farming. The majority of farmers are not aware of the crops and technology that can be grown using this sort of farming. Numerous technologies, including sensors, artificial intelligence, automated systems, hydroponic, aquaponic, and aeroponic systems, are used in vertical farming and greenhouse farming. A crew that is knowledgeable and experienced is necessary to operate these sophisticated devices. Technically skilled individuals are also needed for computer and machine maintenance. Globally, a shortage of skilled labor has impacted many industries, and vertical farming is no exception. Furthermore, the majority of farmers enter this market using expensive and inefficiently designed technologies. The variety of microgreens is extremely small. Since there are many different kinds and species of vegetables, microgreens are not yet included in the vegetable assortment. It is anticipated that these constraints will limit market expansion.

- Regional Snapshots
By region, Insights into the markets in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and MEA are provided by the study.
North America has held the highest share in the global microgreens market and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future. The growing technological sophistication of indoor vertical farming is partly responsible for its quick adoption by microgreen and vegetable farmers. Organic vegetable growers are leveraging this market since American chefs are particularly interested in using microgreens as bright garnishes and taste enhancers on dishes served in hotels and restaurants. Furthermore, these organic vegetable growers are enjoying a very low degree of market competition because microgreens are a relatively new and uncharted industry. Californian farmers make the greatest money from hydroponic farming, so they plant crops like peas, cabbage, and salad veggies. In the United States, many stores are selling "Certified Naturally Grown" microgreens seeds to nearby restaurants and farms. These seeds can be grown both vertically and hydroponically. According to USDA, California is a major producer of broccoli in the US, accounting for 92% of the country's total production. Approximately 26 million metric tons were generated globally in 2017. This suggests that the growth of the microgreens market will depend on broccoli.
Europe has seen tremendous expansion in the global microgreens market, and this trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future. This is mostly due to the quick adoption of indoor vertical farming technologies and the increasing popularity of microgreens among health-conscious individuals. As the number of restaurants increases and the desire for healthier food items develops, microgreens are predicted to become more and more popular in Europe. Because Europe's protected culture area has been expanding rapidly and has a substantial portion of the world's protected cultivation area, the global microgreens market is anticipated to rise over the forecast period. For instance, the FAO (2017) states that, with 70,400 hectares, Spain has the second-largest area under protected cultivation, after China. Other countries include France (10000 hectares), Romania (7300 hectares), and Poland (7560 hectares).
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, China and India accounted for 73% of global broccoli output in 2017. China is the world's greatest producer of broccoli, with 10.4 million metric tons produced in 2017, followed by India with 8.6 million metric tons.
