Vertical Farming Market Size Worth USD 50.78 Billion By 2034 | CAGR: 19.9%

The global vertical farming market size is expected to reach USD 50.78 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Vertical Farming Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Growth Mechanism (Aeroponics, Hydroponics, and Aquaponics), Structure, Components, Crops, and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Vertical farming offers a sustainable and efficient approach to food production. This innovative method involves cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers or structures, often integrated with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technologies. Vertical farming enables year-round cultivation with minimal dependency on soil, weather, and vast tracts of land by leveraging advancements in hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics.

One of the primary drivers of the vertical farming market growth is the increasing awareness of environmental issues associated with traditional farming practices. Conventional agriculture often involves significant land and water use, contributing to deforestation, soil degradation, and water scarcity. Vertical farming, in contrast, requires up to 95% less water and significantly less land, as it utilizes vertical spaces in urban and semi-urban settings. The closed-loop systems employed in vertical farms minimize water wastage and prevent contamination, making it an eco-friendly alternative.

The increased demand for fresh, locally sourced, and environmentally sustainable produce is further fueling the vertical farming market expansion. The controlled environments of vertical farming eliminate the need for harmful pesticides and herbicides, leading to healthier produce and a reduced ecological footprint.

Urbanization is another major factor fueling the vertical farming market demand. The logistics of transporting food from rural areas to urban centers grow more complex and costly as cities expand. Vertical farming addresses these challenges by enabling food production closer to the point of consumption. This not only reduces transportation costs and emissions but also ensures fresher produce for consumers. Moreover, vertical farms are established in underutilized spaces such as warehouses, rooftops, and abandoned buildings, making them an attractive option for urban planners and developers seeking to optimize land use.

Key Highlights of Vertical Farming Market Report

• Based on growth mechanism, the hydroponics segment dominated the market in 2024. The growth of the segment is attributed to its several benefits compared to traditional farming methods, including efficient use of resources, higher crop yields, faster growth, year-round production, reduced pesticide use, and locally grown produce.
• By structure, the building-based vertical farms segment held the largest share of the market in 2024. The growth of building-based vertical farms in the global market is attributed to their effective space optimization, reduced transportation costs, better-controlled environment, higher crop yields, and less water and fertilizers use as compared to traditional farming methods
• North America dominated the global vertical farming market in 2024 due to the increasing demand for locally grown fresh produce, including vegetables and fruits. Additionally, technological advancements, government support, investment in research and development, and growing adoption by commercial growers further propel the market growth in the region.
• A few of the key market players include AeroFarms; Illumitex, Inc.; American Hydroponics; Agrilution GmbH; Brightfarms Inc.; Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd.; Freight Farms; GrowUp Urban Farms Ltd.; Green Sense Farms, LLC; and Vertical Farm Systems.
