Latin America Vertical Farming Market Size (2024 to 2029)

Latin America vertical farming market size is expected to reach USD 1.31 billion in 2024 and reach USD 3.39 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 21% from 2024 to 2029.

Vertical farming techniques control factors like the amount of light, environmental dynamics like temperature, humidity, gases, etc., and soil nutrition factors which include the use of fertilizers and other soil products. In some Vertical Farms, natural light is used in combination with artificial lighting and metal reflectors, similar to greenhouses.

Vertical farming is the latest development in farming, wherein all environmental factors can be controlled. In the vertical farming process, foods and medicines are produced in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces, or in integrated structures like warehouses, shipping containers, skyscrapers, etc.

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. Further, growth in the use of technology such as the Internet of Things in vertical farming, rapidly expanding populace, and increase in the annual production of crops are predicted to exponentially boost the market growth. High costs of lighting equipment and continuous maintenance requirements are the constraints faced by the vertical farming market.
