Canada Indoor Farming Market Overview, 2027

"Canada, with its diverse climate and vast land area, has seen significant growth in indoor farming practices. The country's indoor farming industry is driven by the desire to overcome challenges associated with traditional outdoor agriculture, such as limited growing seasons, extreme weather conditions, and land availability. Canadian indoor farms employ various controlled environment agriculture (CEA) techniques, including hydroponics, aeroponics, and vertical farming. These methods allow for year-round production of a wide range of crops, including leafy greens, herbs, microgreens, and even some fruiting plants. Indoor farming plays a vital role in urban agriculture initiatives across Canada. With a significant portion of the population residing in urban areas, vertical farms and other indoor farming systems provide fresh produce closer to consumers, reducing transportation distances and promoting local food production. Given Canada's colder climate, indoor farms often require substantial energy inputs to maintain optimal growing conditions. However, advancements in energy-efficient technologies, such as LED lighting and improved climate control systems, help minimize energy consumption and make indoor farming more sustainable. Canada is home to several research institutions and organizations focused on advancing indoor farming technologies. These entities work on optimizing plant growth, developing efficient cultivation techniques, and exploring new approaches to sustainable indoor farming. According to Bonafide Research’s report titled ""Canada Indoor Farming Market Overview, 2027,"" the indoor farming market in Canada is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. Indoor farming is a method of growing fresh vegetables and other plants that uses a variety of facilities such as vertical farming, indoor greenhouses, and others. Vertical farms are plants that are piled on levels and are frequently integrated into other structures such as shipping containers, skyscrapers, or warehouses. Vertical indoor farms can produce more than traditional farms. Greenhouses have been the workhorse of indoor gardeners, particularly in the production of flowers and decorative plants. Modern high-tech designs were pioneered in the Netherlands and have since spread around the world. Several instances of these farms may be found throughout the United States, with the largest spanning hundreds of acres. Greenhouse indoor farming is one of the oldest techniques of indoor farming and has the largest market share in Canada. Vertical indoor farming is a new approach to the indoor farming industry, and it is growing in the country with a higher growth rate. Indoor farming uses fully enclosed and opaque rooms with artificial lighting to grow crops and consists of systems such as hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, soil-based, and hybrids. Indoor farming recirculates and reuses water, using an average of 95% less water to cultivate the same crops as outdoor farming. When plants or crops are produced in vertical greenhouses, the transpiration process occurs, allowing farmers to reuse the water for irrigation.

Soil-based indoor farming has the highest market share in Canada. Hydroponic plants produce more fruits and vegetables because they are more tightly packed together in a hydroponic system than the amount of land required to cultivate the same number of plants. Hydroponics increases plant yields. A growth medium is used in some hydroponic systems to support the plant roots and enable more effective water absorption into the root structure. Plants may grow practically anywhere in an indoor hydroponic system all year. Hydroponic systems are available in a number of forms, including vertical stacking systems that take up little space. Hydroponic systems are very successful techniques, utilized in a variety of agricultural fields as well as in natural disasters. However, this system requires fewer personnel, but it is still costly and complicated, despite its great output. Consumers are more health-concerned and prefer veggies that are free of residue. The Canadian hydroponics market share is rising exponentially in the indoor farming market. The aeroponics technology of indoor farming improves nutrient absorption while exerting less stress on the plant, resulting in better overall productivity. Aeroponic plants have more nutritional content while also having superior colors, texture, and taste. Aeroponics, when compared to other controlled environment agriculture systems such as hydroponics and aquaponics, has the added benefit of lower water consumption and greater yields. Aeroponics' lightweight trays also make it easy to stack the growing system and grow vertically. Aeroponics technology is the fastest-growing technology in Canada. Covid-19 impact: Traditional farming was hit hard during the pandemic due to lockdowns, border closures, quarantines, and supply chain disruptions. This limited access to fresh agricultural produce paved the way for indoor farming. In fact, the pandemic pushed the market demand for indoor farming as the populace was already experiencing high levels of food insecurity. During the pandemic's early stages of spread, the agriculture sector encountered difficulties. There were severe labor shortages on farms; some farmers lost their window of opportunity to harvest seasonal crops; agricultural product prices were plummeting; and logistics were disrupted. All this in spite of the fact that agriculture didn’t face a harsh shutdown as it was under essential services that were exempted. The development of indoor farming can also help in addressing all aspects of various food security concerns. Increased health awareness and the consumption of food free of residues have made it possible to use cutting-edge methods, such as indoor farming. In order to have food that is pest-free, people are cultivating essential crops on a modest scale in their own homes, which has increased productivity. Considered in this report ? Geography: Canada ?

Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and list out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual reports of companies, and analyzing government-generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducting trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources. Intended audience: This report can be useful to industry consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, associations & organizations related to the agricultural industry, food & beverage industry, government bodies, and other stakeholders to align their market-centric strategies. In addition to marketing & presentations, it will also increase competitive knowledge about the industry. "
