Vertical Garden Construction Market Report 2025

The vertical garden construction market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.03 billion in 2024 to $1.13 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing urbanization and limited horizontal space, rising environmental awareness, growing adoption in commercial architecture, government incentives promoting green infrastructure, and heightened demand for improved air quality.

The vertical garden construction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing use of smart irrigation, growth in sustainable construction, rising demand for energy-efficient buildings with climate control solutions, expanding urban greening through vertical farming, and growing demand for insulation supported by eco-friendly wall systems. Key trends during this period include the integration of IoT-based irrigation technologies, use of drone technology for maintenance, advancements in hydroponic systems for vertical gardens, development of lightweight panel technologies, and adoption of AI-driven plant health monitoring solutions.

The increasing adoption of green building solutions is expected to drive the growth of the vertical garden construction market going forward. Green building solutions encompass sustainable construction practices and technologies designed to minimize environmental impact and improve energy efficiency. This adoption is rising due to growing environmental concerns and regulatory pressures promoting eco-friendly infrastructure, especially in urban planning and building design. Vertical garden construction supports green building by enhancing air quality, reducing heat absorption, and boosting energy efficiency. It incorporates vegetation into vertical spaces, fostering sustainability and eco-conscious urban environments. For example, in November 2023, the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA), a non-profit organization advocating sustainable building practices, reported issuing over 800 Green Star certifications in the 2022-23 financial year, marking an increase of more than 80% compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rising adoption of green building solutions is propelling the growth of the vertical garden construction market.

Leading companies in the vertical garden construction market are focusing on strategic partnerships to advance technological capabilities and deliver innovative green wall solutions. These partnerships involve collaboration between firms to combine strengths and resources for mutual benefit, enabling enhanced capabilities, market access, and accelerated innovation. For instance, in November 2024, Sotech, a France-based rainscreen manufacturer, partnered with Vertical Meadow, a UK-based urban biodiversity company, to launch the Optima Meadow living wall façade system. This innovative cladding solution integrates seeds directly into rainscreen panels, allowing plants to grow vertically on building exteriors. Made from 94% recycled aluminum and non-combustible materials, the system is designed for easy installation and minimal maintenance, featuring automated irrigation and remote monitoring. By promoting urban biodiversity, lowering carbon footprints, and increasing energy efficiency, this living wall façade offers a sustainable, visually appealing way to reintroduce greenery and wildlife habitats into dense urban areas, supporting environmental and regulatory goals for greener cities.

In January 2022, Mitie Group plc, a UK-based provider of facilities management, engineering, energy, and sustainability services, acquired Biotecture Limited for $2.57 million (£2.2 million). This acquisition enhanced Mitie’s landscaping and sustainability capabilities by integrating Biotecture’s expertise in hydroponic living wall systems, expanding its green infrastructure offerings in alignment with rising environmental standards and its Plan Zero net-zero carbon strategy. Biotecture Limited is a UK-based company specializing in sustainable vertical garden solutions.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

Vertical garden construction involves growing plants on vertical surfaces using panels fixed to different upright structures. This technique is designed to maximize green space in densely populated urban areas, improve air quality, reduce ambient temperatures, and enhance aesthetic appeal. Moreover, vertical gardens contribute to insulation, sound absorption, and the promotion of eco-friendly building practices.

The main types of vertical garden construction include indoor vertical garden walls and outdoor vertical garden walls. Indoor vertical garden walls are plant-covered installations that improve air quality, alleviate stress, and bring greenery into indoor environments. Their components consist of plants, supporting structures and frames, watering and lighting systems, soil and growing media, as well as fertilizers and nutrients. These gardens utilize various materials, including soil-based systems, hydroponic setups, mineral wool systems, and recycled or biodegradable materials. Installation methods vary and include pre-planted vertical gardens, do-it-yourself (DIY) kits, custom-built designs, and modular systems. Applications span residential, commercial, public spaces, agricultural, healthcare, educational institutions, and more.
