Vertical farming in France is yet to witness the same growth as the middle-east or Asian market. Nonetheless, companies are emerging throughout the country providing various solutions adapted to various segments. Indeed, cosmetics, pharma, solution providers, and, space farming concept are among the common segments targeted by French vertical farming companies.

One segment, in particular, is outpacing the others. Cosmetics has attracted a number of French companies as the sector seeks increasingly solutions to face climate change, produce locally, and ensure a constant supply of high-quality crops for their products.

Companies providing their vertical farming solution exist as well thanks to partnerships between engineering and container refurbishing specialists.

So is vertical farming in France made up solely for cosmetics? Are there any other segments emerging?
