Outdoor lighting conditions can be created with varying colors, temperatures, and spectral outputs from the grow lights, as well as varying the intensity output of the lamps.APAC projected to hold the largest share of the vertical farming market in 2025.APAC is the base to numerous small and large vertical farms operating in different countries of the region.Countries in APAC are densely populated, and the number is increasing exponentially.This certainly creates a demand to have a substitute for conventional farming as it lacks the capacity to serve the growing population.Vertical farming reduces the dependency on field farming and aids in avoiding the need for new farmland due to the increasing need for food.Countries such as China, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Japan are technologically equipped, complementing the growth opportunities for the vertical farming market. The growth of the vertical farming market in this region can also be attributed to the increasing awareness about alternative farming methods and limited agricultural fertile land.Breakdown of profiles of primary participants: By Company Type: Tier 1 = 40%, Tier 2 = 45%, and Tier 3 = 15% By Designation: C-level Executives = 40%, Directors = 30%, and Others = 30% By Region: North America = 20%, Europe = 35%, APAC = 30%, and RoW = 15%Signify (Netherlands), Osram (Germany), Freight Farms (US), AeroFarms (US), Sky Greens (Singapore), Spread Co., Ltd.
