With the introduction of Controlled-Environment-Agriculture(CEA) and indoor farming techniques, Vertical Farming techniques control factors like the amount of light, environmental factors like temperature, humidity, gases, etc., and fertigation factors which include the application of fertilizers and other soil products. In some Vertical Farms, natural light is used in conjunction with artificial lighting and metal reflectors, similar to greenhouses.

The major driving force of the Europe market is the increasing consumer demand for organic foods, foods free from pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is the major driving force of the market. The utility of artificial lighting to enhance the yield, health, and growth rate of plants coupled with lower dependency on the weather for production is driving the market from the producer side. The above factors accompanied by the growth in the use of technology such as the Internet of Things in Vertical Farming and an increase in the annual production of crops are predicted to exponentially boost the market growth. High costs of lighting equipment and continuous maintenance requirement are the constraints faced by the Vertical Farming market.
