"The global vertical farming market size is anticipated to reach USD 9.96 billion by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 21.3% over the forecast period. Increased use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for producing crops is likely to spur the market demand over the forecast period. Information obtained from the sensors is stored on the cloud and analyzed to perform the required actions. Growing automation in agriculture and increasing use of big data and predictive analytics for maximizing yields are also likely to drive the market. Vertical farming is effective in ensuring the stability in the crop production and maintaining reliability even in adverse climatic conditions. It provides multiple benefits over traditional farming technique, such as less use of water, lesser need of agrochemicals, and low dependence on agricultural labors. Vertical farming makes use of metal reflectors and artificial lighting to maximize natural sunlight."

The Office of Device Evaluation (ODE) receives approximately 6500 Premarket Notification (5100) submissions every year. Many of these submissions are incomplete or grossly inadequate, as they fail to contain the components necessary to allow substantive review of the submission and inappropriately consume Center resources. As a means to employ more effectively the Center's resources, the FDA has implemented procedures to ensure that 5 10Ks meet a minimum threshold of acceptability; otherwise the Center will refuse to accept the submissions for substantive review.
