Global Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Industry 2016 Market Research ReportChapters1 Industry Overview of Vertical Farming, Plant Factory1.1 Definition and Specifications of Vertical Farming, Plant Factory1.1.1 Definition of Vertical Farming, Plant FactoryVertical farming is the practice of producing food in vertically stacked layers, vertically inclined surfaces and/or integrated in other structures. The modern idea of vertical farming uses controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) technology, where all environmental factors can be controlled. These facilities utilize artificial control of light, environmental control (humidity, temperature, gases) and fertigation. Some vertical farms use techniques similar to greenhouses, where natural sunlight can be augmented with artificial lighting and metal reflectors.Figure Picture of Vertical Farming, Plant FactorySource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.1.2 Specifications of Vertical Farming, Plant FactoryTable Product Specifications of Vertical Farming, Plant FactoryVertical Farming is a revolutionary approach to producing high quantities of nutritious and quality fresh food all year round, without relying on skilled labour, favourable weather, high soil fertility or high water usage.The smart technology integrated into the systems offers many advantages, including:1.Reliable HarvestsVertical Farm Systems growing cycles are consistent and reliable, allowing commercial growers to confidently commit to delivery schedules and supply contracts. In a well-managed Vertical Farm System there are no such thing as seasonal crops and there are no crop losses.Vertical Farm Systems are fully enclosed and climate controlled, completely removing external environment factors such as disease, pest or predator attacks. It also means our farms are not dependent on fertile arable land and can be established in any climatic region globally irrespective of seasonal daylight hours and extremes in temperature.2. Minimum OverheadsProduction overheads in Vertical Farm Systems installations are commercially competitive and predictable. In some cases profitability of over 30% has been demonstrated even after deducting full amortisation of capital equipment over a 10 year period.3. Increased Growing AreaFor the same floor area, Vertical Farm Systems multi-level design provides nearly 8 times more growing area than single level hydroponic or greenhouse systems. This compact design enables cost-effective farming installations in industrial estates, urban warehouses and other low cost and typically under-utilised environments not previously associated with high-quality high-margin agricultural activities.4. Maximum Crop YieldIrrespective of external conditions, Vertical Farm Systems can reliably provide more crop rotations per year than open field agriculture and other farming practices.Crop cycles are also faster due to the systems controlled temperature, humidity, daylight hours optimisation and the use of bioponic biologically active organic plant nutrients. The systems can produce market grade produce of several crops within just 21 days.5. Wide Range of CropsVertical Farm Systems has a wide range of crops that are able to be grown in their systems. The crop growth is controlled by a comprehensive computer database that manages and maintains the optimum growing conditions for each specific crop variety being grown.Source: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.1.3 Definition of Grow LightA grow light or plant light is an artificial light source, generally an electric light, designed to stimulate plant growth by emitting an electromagnetic spectrum appropriate for photosynthesis. Grow lights are used in applications where there is either no naturally occurring light, or where supplemental light is required. For example, in the winter months when the available hours of daylight may be insufficient for the desired plant growth, lights are used to extend the time the plants receive light. If plants do not receive enough light, they will grow long and spindly.1.2 Classification of Grow LightsTable Classification of Grow LightsTypesDescription1Fluorescent lamp grow lightsStandard fluorescent lamps are usually used for seed germination, but the efficiency is not high2LED grow lightsThe heat of LED is less, which avoids the costly and complex cooling system cost3HPS grow lightsThe orange and red light from the HPS allows the flowers to be produced, the results and ripening, and they provide the greenhouse with adequate lighting4Incandescent Lamp & Halide Lamp grow lightsUsing incandescent lamp to do with the growth of a shortcoming is not energy-saving, it does not produce light that part of the energy will produce additional heatSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.3 Applications of Grow LightsTable Applications of Grow LightsApplications1Commercial Greenhouses2Indoor Grow Facilities3Research ApplicationsSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.3.1 Commercial GreenhousesFigure Picture of Commercial GreenhousesSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.3.2 Indoor Grow FacilitiesFigure Picture of Indoor Grow FacilitiesSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.3.3 Research ApplicationsFigure Picture of Research Applications Source: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.4 Industry Chain Structure of Grow LightsFigure Industry Chain Structure of Grow LightsSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20161.5 Industry Overview and Major Regions Status of Grow Lights1.5.1 Industry Overview of Grow Lights1.5.2 Global Major Regions Status of Grow Lights Table Global Major Regions Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Development StatusMajor RegionsStatusUnited StatesThe vertical farming has a wide range of applications EUThe vertical farming has a wide range of applicationsChinaThe vertical farming is in development stageJapanThe vertical farming has a wide range of applicationsSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20162 Manufacturing Cost Structure Analysis of Grow Lights2.1 Raw Material Suppliers of Grow LightsTable Raw Material Suppliers and Price AnalysisCompanyWebsiteLight-emitting DiodesChipElectronics Control GearAluminumSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 20162.2 Equipment Suppliers and Price Analysis of Grow LightsThe Grow Light are always assembled by labors manually. As the result, the production equipment of ESR analyzer is only assembly line for labors to do the assemble works. The assembly line differ a lot among different companies.

The global economy contracted sharply between 2007 and 2009, quickly recovered in 2010, but subsequently decelerated. While growth rates after 2010 declined across the globe, they remained much higher in emerging and developing economies than in advanced economies. Recently reports have pointed out that labor markets are still in a state of disarray in many countries, and that the global jobs deficit is worse today than before the onset of the global financial and economic crisis in 2008. The challenge of absorbing the estimated 200 million unemployed and integrating approximately 400 million new entrants into the labor market in the next decade is enormous.Average wages are calculated using gross monthly wages, rather than the less frequently available hourly wages and fluctuations therefore reflect changes in both hourly wages and the average number of hours worked; they are also net of consumer price inflation.2.6 Manufacturing Process Analysis of Grow LightsFigure Manufacturing Process Analysis of Grow LightsSource: QYR Vertical Farming, Plant Factory Research Center, Oct 2016ConclusionThrough several months of investigation and analysis, the project team gets the following conclusions:After several months of investigation and analysis, the project team achieves the following conclusions:Increasing inclination towards healthy food without pesticides, rising urban population and no weather caused crop failures are the factors favoring the market growth. However, limited variety of crops, high initial investment and lack of technical insights are the restraining factors for vertical farming. Rapid urban population increase asks for more farm lands to be adjusted to residential lands, hence less adequate space for cultivation. Therefore, there is need for alternative farming techniques which acts as opportunity for vertical farming.Vertical farms in urban areas are relatively new phenomena, but interests in this approach are growing, and the number of vertical farms is increasing every year. There are several variations of vertical farms being tested throughout the world, and innovations, development in technology will likely boost energy
