Marché de l’agriculture verticale en Asie-Pacifique – Tendances et prévisions du secteur jusqu’en 2030

Analyse et perspectives du marché de l'agriculture verticale en Asie-Pacifique

Les fermes verticales sont modulaires et peuvent être adaptées à n'importe quelle structure. Comme elles produisent 75 fois plus de nourriture par mètre carré qu'une ferme conventionnelle, les fermes verticales peuvent également nourrir plus de personnes que l'agriculture standard. Les fermes verticales n'utilisent pas non plus de pesticides ni de fongicides pour rendre les aliments meilleurs et plus propres. Les fermes verticales minimisent souvent l'utilisation d'eau car les fermes intérieures nécessitent 90 % d'eau de moins que les fermes extérieures, donc peu importe que vous ayez une saison des pluies ou une saison sèche. L'agriculture intérieure régule également la fertilisation des nutriments par les plantes, de sorte que la nourriture fournie soit très nutritive. Cultivez une grande quantité de nourriture et utilisez moins d'eau dans une pièce relativement petite. 6 500 mètres carrés = une récolte de 900 000 kilos. Les stratégies d'agriculture verticale peuvent aider à préserver les terres agricoles et les forêts tropicales et également donner le temps de régénérer et de reconstituer la couche arable d'autres terres et également aider à minimiser la consommation de carburant.

Data Bridge Market Research analyse que le marché de l'agriculture verticale en Asie-Pacifique connaîtra un TCAC de 27,5 % au cours de la période de prévision de 2023 à 2030.

Définition du marché

Vertical farming is the method of processing food such as in a skyscraper, used factory, or shipping container done in vertically stacked layers. Indoor farming methods and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technologies are used for modern vertical farming concepts, where all environmental conditions can be controlled. Artificial regulation of illumination, environmental control (humidity, temperature, gases and among others) and fertigation are utilised for these services. Few vertical farms use methods similar to greenhouses, where artificial lighting and metal reflectors can be used to maximise natural sunlight.

Asia-Pacific Vertical Farming Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

INCREASING DEMAND FOR ORGANIC FOOD

As crops are grown without the use of chemical pesticides in a well-controlled indoor environment, vertical farming enables us to grow pesticide-free and organic crops. Organic food applies to goods produced through the agriculture sector that do not require industrial fertilizers, chemicals and development regulators. Today, consumers around the world have become more mindful of the origins of food they eat on a regular basis and have moved from crops that are processed with additives and pesticides to organic foods. Moreover, the rising purchasing power of people and changing consumer preference over the organic or pollution free food is augmenting the growth towards health consciousness.

All countries with relatively high organic food intake have high per capita income levels, such as China, which has adopted "green" foods to bring organic foods into the country. Japan, in Asia represents the single largest organic food market. Per capita spending on organic foods is marginally correlated favourably with per capita income levels, but Japan is a significant exception. Broadly speaking, organic goods tend to be premium goods in the sense that their consumption is higher in high per capita income countries. In several middle-income countries, piecemeal knowledge about organic food markets shows that supermarket markets are still in the early stages of growth. Around 50 different organic items are sold in major supermarkets in major countries.

Imported organic foods and beverages as well as domestically produced organic fruit, vegetables, rice, and tea are sold primarily in specialty stores in Taiwan. Organic foods are available on a limited basis in Hong Kong. The market for organic foods is just beginning to be evident only at a single store, stores stocked locally produced organic foods like vegetables, eggs, and cheese. Some middle income countries will likely have larger shares of organic products in the future but current sales appear to be very modest in absolute terms.

Principles of minimization of the chemical inputs in the agriculture and hence is environment friendly. Thus, vertical farming techniques can be utilized to increase the production and productivity to meet the growing food demands. The increasing demand for the organic food is driving the growth of the Asia-pacific vertical farming market.

GROWING CONCERNS REGARDING POLLUTION FREE ENVIRONMENT

Air pollution is the world’s single greatest environmental risk to health. Some 6.5 million people across the world die prematurely every year from exposure to outdoor and indoor air pollution. Pollution is not a modern phenomenon; it can be largely regulated and sometimes avoided, but it is greatly ignored. Land and soil pollution is largely the product of poor agricultural practices, inefficient irrigation, improper solid waste management – including unsafe storage of obsolete stockpiles of hazardous chemicals and nuclear waste – and a range of industrial, military and extractive activities. Better awareness, new forms of consumption and development, as well as creative technical methods, mean that many nations, cities and industries are now effectively solving significant problems with emissions. Indoor vertical farming can significantly lessen the occupational hazards associated with traditional farming. Farmers are not exposed to hazards related to heavy farming equipment, diseases like malaria, poisonous chemicals and so on. As it does not disturb animals and trees inland areas, it is good for biodiversity as well. The workplace risks associated with conventional farming can be greatly minimised by indoor vertical farming. Farmers are not exposed to risks associated with heavy agricultural machines, pathogens such as malaria, hazardous substances, etc. Since inland areas do not disturb animals and vegetation, it is also ideal for biodiversity. In 2019, humans emitted 54 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq), of which 17 billion tonnes (31%) came from agrifood systems.

Pollution can have negative impacts and disproportionate burdens on women and men, and particularly on the poor and the vulnerable such as the elderly, children and the disabled, affecting their rights to health, water, food, life, housing and development. Many toxic dumpsites are located in poor areas, leading to environmental injustice. Pollution has significant economic costs from the point of view of health, productivity losses, health-care costs and ecosystem damages. Vertical farming can save large amount of water usage and minimize the effect of greenhouse effect.

Hence, the growing concerns regarding pollution free environment is driving the growth of the vertical farming market.

Opportunities

INCREASING UTILIZATION OF IOT SENSORS IN CROP PRODUCTION

Smart farming offers awareness to growers who want to stay clear of problems and intervene before profits are affected by small or big problems through connected devices, the Internet of Things. It comes into play that tells farmers what they need to know about soil, humidity, water levels, and other important metrics. When practicing vertical farming, most of the farmers would like to monitor the farming conditions, and yet limited knowledge on data management have forced them to investigate plant conditions with naked eyes. Therefore, vertical farming monitoring system with Internet of Thing (IoT) is introduced as a platform to collect data and visualize it through a web-based applications. It is a more convenient way to keep track on the vertical farming performance, and contribute to the research and development on agriculture field with real case data analysis. With the help of the system, a reliable environment for farming activities could be formed. Consequently, crops are grown under a controlled surrounding, and get rid of the dangers caused by extreme weather such as droughts and floods.

Even the government is starting to embrace new smart farming opportunities. At its Beltsville Area Research Facility, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently turned a 7,000-acre farm into a testbed for IoT technology and related advancements, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Reportedly, this initiative will help thousands of data scientists gather information faster.

IoT sensors can provide information about crop health in real time and display the existence of pests clearly. For evaluating crops over a wide area, low-resolution image sensors are suitable. These instruments take photos of pests that cannot be observed with the human eye.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a successful technology that offers efficient and reliable solutions. Solutions to the modernisation of multiple domains. Solutions based on IoT are being created to Maintain and monitor agricultural farms automatically with minimal human involvement.

Hence, the increasing utilization of IoT sensors in crop production has provided with the ample opportunities for the growth of Asia-Pacific vertical farming market.

Restraints/Challenges

HIGH INITIAL INVESTMENTS IN VERTICAL FARMING

The biggest hurdle to the introduction of vertical farming are the high upfront costs. High capital costs are the product of both the higher per square metre land prices in urban centres and the facilities required to manage plant development. Vertical cultivation happens without the involvement of insects in a controlled climate. As such, the method of pollination has to be performed manually, which would be labour intensive and expensive. As high as energy prices are in vertical farming, due to their concentration in urban centres where incomes are higher, as well as the need for more skilled workers, labour costs may be much higher. However, automation at vertical farms can contribute to the need for fewer employees. In vertical farms, manual pollination can become one of the more labor-intensive functions. Although the start-up costs of vertical farming are high, the long-term advantages are gradually being understood and accepted by all - even retailers - participating in the food supply chain. The reality that the upfront capital needed to build and develop a vertical farm is significant is no running away. The prospective long-term potential growth and benefits offered by being at the forefront of this emerging industry, however, make it an enticing investment proposal for those with funds. A vertical farm instead of automation relies more on manual labour for watering and harvesting. The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest hurdles a vertical farm must overcome for its produce to be competitive with fruits and vegetables from a traditional farm. As businesses contend with the energy costs of keeping a regulated atmosphere 24/7 and the challenge of coordinating the labour-intensive method of operating a vertical farm, the industry is riddled with bankruptcies.

Hence, high initial investments in vertical farming is retarding the growth of the Asia-Pacific vertical farming market.
