Vertical Farming will have an indispensable role in the growth of the Microgreens Market in the coming years. With the rising global population and surging urbanization, there is a widespread demand for arable and agricultural land to meet the food requirements and demand. Conventional practices have led to various environment-related problems such as deforestation, water scarcity, and loss of habitat. According to the World Bank, the world lost 502,000 sq. miles of land and forest between 1990 and 2016.

The development of sustainable and environmentally friendly infrastructure has become imperative in recent years. Vertical farming is widely becoming approved and favored in recent years, as it oversees the production of rich value crops that provides more quality and yield than conventional farming. It utilizes proper usage of resources like nutrients, water, time, and space, thereby minimizing carbon footprint and effects. Vertical farming doesn't need considerable arable and agricultural land to grow crops.

Hydroponic type of vertical farming is generating major growth because it doesn't require soil as a medium for the roots. According to the data given by the Food and Agriculture Organization, there were about 2.3 million sq. feet of indoor related farms globally.

Geographically, North America and Europe holds a substantial share in the market on account of early adoption of technology coupled with rising awareness about vertical farming. Also, with the decreasing agriculture land in various developed economies the demand for microgreens is further anticipated to witness significant growth in the coming years.
