The indoor farming technology market, based on growing system, has been segmented into hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, soil-based, and hybrid. Exposure to climatic changes, soil contamination, limited space in urban areas, and most importantly, low availability of water have resulted in a shortage of food production. The application of hydroponics growth mechanism helps to mitigate most of these risks and provides ample fresh produce.

The indoor farming technology market, by facility type, has been segmented into glass or poly greenhouses, indoor vertical farms, container farms, and indoor deep water culture (DWC) systems. The glass or poly greenhouses segment dominated the market as the area under greenhouse cultivation is larger compared to indoor vertical farms in countries such as the US, China, and the Netherlands.
