Global Automated Growing System’s Technological Advancements Fueling Big Gains

Palm Beach, FL – October 12, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – In United States, Agriculture is a major industry and is a main source for the export market for its agricultural products and technology. For instance, trade is important to the US agricultural sector as agricultural exports accounts for more than 20% of the volume of US agricultural production, according to The Food and Agriculture Organization. One sub-category that has been growing steadily over the past few years and that is projected to continue substantial growth is the Automated Growing Systems market. An automated growing system is a type of hydroponic gardening system that uses an electronic controller to manage the watering and feeding of plants. The importance of automated growing systems is twofold: they allow gardeners to precisely control the environment in which their plants are grown, and they automate many of the tasks typically associated with hydroponic gardening, such as watering and feeding.  A report from Industry Growth Insights said that the global automated growing system market is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR through 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables, rising awareness about health and wellness, and technological advancements in automated growing systems.   Active Companies in the markets today include AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI), Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (NYSE:ADM), Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE: CAG), Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN), McCormick & Company, Incorporated (NYSE: MKC).

 

The report discussed the following growth factors: “Increasing demand for high quality and organically grown produce: There is an increasing demand for high quality and organically grown produce, which has led to the growth of the automated growing system market. The automated growing system helps in producing high quality and organic fruits and vegetables.  Rising awareness about the benefits of consuming organic food: There is a rising awareness among people about the benefits of consuming organic food, which is driving the growth of the automated growing system market. Organic fruits and vegetables are healthier than conventionally grown ones as they are free from harmful chemicals and pesticides that can be harmful to human health.  The report continued: “North America dominated the global market in (recent years). The region is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period (2030). This can be attributed to increasing investments in R&D and technological advancements associated with AGS systems. Moreover, high adoption of these systems by commercial as well as residential sectors is also one of the major factors contributing toward regional growth.”
