Microgreens are little, fragile vegetable greens that grow to a height of 1-3 inches. They are collected 7-14 days after germination and comprise two completely formed cotyledon leaves. One of the primary factor driving market expansion is the increasing adoption of novel vertical and indoor farming practices. Consumers are rapidly adopting these environmentally friendly hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics technologies to increase the yield and quality of value-added crops while using fewer resources such as nutrients, water, electricity, and space. The increased health consciousness among the general public is propelling market expansion.
Furthermore, greenhouse vegetable production, especially microgreens, has been gradually expanding, and the multi-decade pattern of growth is projected to continue shortly. The development of greenhouse technology is strengthening the microgreens sector. As a result of improved demand, revenue has stabilized, aiding market expansion. The retail sector is quickly increasing, and internet stores are displacing traditional brick-and-mortar establishments.
Online retailers must boost their inventory more than ever before to keep up with the product demand. This creates a massive market for microgreens. The key obstacles inhibiting the growth of the microgreen market are high initial investments, high production costs, and a lack of distribution channels. Other factors, such as implementing favorable government regulations promoting sustainable agriculture methods and rising consumer spending power on expensive, efficient, and nutrient-rich food products, are expected to boost market growth.
The microgreens market is segmented by type, farming and end-use. Based on type, the market is segmented into broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, arugula, peas, basil, radish, cress, and others. Based on farming, the microgreens market is segmented into indoor vertical farming and commercial greenhouses. Based on end-use, the microgreens market is segmented into retail, food services and others.
The commercial greenhouse segment is expected to hold a significant market share. Commercial greenhouses are built to grow crops, vegetables, and fruits in a controlled environment, allowing farmers and businesses to produce larger yields all year round than traditional farming methods. Greenhouses rely mostly on sunlight and necessitate a horizontal arrangement of plants to ensure equal exposure to sunshine. This implies they require a lot of room and are best suited for rural or suburban settings. The greenhouse has obtained a major portion of the microgreens production market and is likely to maintain its dominant position during the forecast period.
Brocolli grabbed the highest revenue share, and it is anticipated that they will continue to hold that position during the anticipated time. Broccoli eating has several health benefits, including inflammation reduction, cancer prevention, enhanced heart health, and improved digestion. As a result, the growing popularity of broccoli microgreens' health benefits and the use of roof gardens and park gardens to grow microgreens are likely to drive up demand for microgreens of the broccoli microgreens variety.
The North American microgreens market is expected to register the highest market share. Microgreens are in high demand from chefs in the United States as flavor enhancers and colorful garnishes on hotel and restaurant dishes, which is why organic vegetable growers are entering the microgreens market. Furthermore, because microgreens are a new and undeveloped sector, these organic vegetable growers are capitalizing on the market's minimal competition. Besides, Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing microgreens market, and the demand for functional and healthful food items is skyrocketing. This is due to increased health-conscious consumers, increased spending on functional foods, and increased demand for organic veggies. This is also due to the rapid advancement of technology in indoor vertical farming and its rapid acceptance by vegetable and microgreens growers.
