A new analysis from Emergen Research estimates the global indoor-farming market size will grow by nearly 10% annually over the next decade.

The global indoor-farming market size was $17.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to register a steady revenue compound annual growth rate of 9.8% during the forecast period, according to the report.

“Rising demand for fresh foods with nutritive value is the primary factor driving market revenue growth,” according to a news release summarizing the report.

Technological advancements in indoor farming methods is a key factor driving revenue growth of the market, the release said. The report said Certhon and Living Greens Farm announced in June a collaboration to further develop and spread Living Greens Farm’s aeroponic technology globally.

“Their game-changing vertical farming technique provides a one-of-a-kind product proposition for full-size head lettuce varietals with an extremely long shelf life, as well as ready-to-eat bagged salads and salad kits,” the release said.

The greenhouse farming segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the global indoor farming market in 2022, the release said.
