Smart home gardening provides fresh produced, clean air and creates healthy surrounding by reducing food miles and carbon emissions.
For instance, according to data published by World Health Organization (WHO) on October 30, 2021, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250 000 additional deaths per year, from diarrhea, malnutrition, malaria, and heat stress.
Growing preference for organic food production is to propel the market. The smart garden helps in growing organic foods at home using minimal space. Smart home gardening is a fully automated gardening system that offers anybody to grow flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, all around the year, with no effort or horticultural knowledge.
For instance, as per the report published by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement (IFOAM) Germany and FiBL Switzerland in 2022, the Global Organic Market has been growing at a CAGR of 8.7 % during the last 6 years.
The high cost associated with smart home gardening is expected to restrict the growth of the market. The initial setup cost of a smart home gardening system is high as it includes several complex and advanced devices such as smart sensing, and self-watering devices which are costly. Moreover, the difficulty coupled with finding the right plants to grow in the microclimate is projected to hinder the market growth.
Increasing investment in R&D by major market players creates a lucrative opportunity in the market. Companies are investing in research & development activities in order to develop efficient and cost-effective products for home gardening.
Moreover, the rising trend of smart homes across the globe is an immense opportunity in the market. Smart homes include smart lighting, smart speakers, smart doors, and windows, which significantly propel smart home gardening as it is associated with smart homes.
For instance, there are an estimated 300 million smart homes in the world and the number is expected to grow 478 million by 2025.
