One of the main factors contributing to vertical farming's rising popularity is the fact that it produces a larger yield than traditional farming. The employment of microclimate technology inside the container or greenhouse enables the plant to receive the ideal heat, humidity, and light according to the crop's needs. On a vertical farm, plants are also piled in trays, allowing farmers to grow enough food in a small area. Vertical farming is becoming a more appealing alternative as GCC governments work to minimize the region's reliance on food imports. A flourishing vertical farming industry might, among other things, help the GCC avoid rising food prices and the geopolitical problems that hamper foreign investments in farms.
The market has a lot of room to grow, Due to the support of governments, investors, and businesses from the private sector, including supermarkets. The need for vertical farming is being driven by the increase in investments in vertical farming and the expanding use of contemporary methods in the agriculture sector. The increasing popularity of leafy vegetables in the GCC region is expected to drive the growth of the market. The high cost of installing vertical farming systems and the lack of knowledge about alternative farming methods in some countries, however, could pose difficulties for the market's growth. New integrated technologies and innovations in vertical farming are expected to create multiple growth opportunities for the GCC vertical farming market.
Saudi Arabia is expected to be the largest vertical farming market in the GCC region and held the largest revenue share in the forecast period. Furthermore, the market for vertical farming in Saudi Arabia is expanding due to a boom in the adoption of technology-driven agriculture, including cutting-edge air and water filtration and decontamination. Due to the UAE's growing population, there is a greater need for food security, which is causing the vertical farming business to expand. However, the rising demand for leafy vegetables from Kuwait and Qatar is also expected to boost the vertical farming market in this region.
