Industry & Market Research
A specialized service to provide the data and insights your team needs to make critical business decisions.
Available industry reports consistently repeat the same data points, often recycling out-of-date information, and miss the mark when it comes to contextualizing key information.
By contrast, Agritecture focuses on primary sources of research as much as possible, maintaining an internal database of hundreds of companies and conducting an annual census of the industry. When relying on secondary sources, we will develop a customized methodology for each client that factors in other key indicators and growth drivers.
Who is this service for?
Industry & Market research services are offered to any client who is looking to better understand the urban ag or CEA markets. Common clients include investors, engineering firms & real estate developers, and equipment/technology suppliers eyeing the space.
Why do you need it?
Skip the opaque assumptions and questionable research tactics behind standard industry reports. Agritecture can provide customized research, building upon our internal databases, with added transparency around sources of data and key assumptions, while providing the additional context that industry outsiders find critical.
