Hydroponics Market Overview and Definition

The global hydroponics market size was valued at around USD 13.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of growth (CAGR) of around 12.9% from 2022 to 2032.The market size is projected to succeed in USD 46.2 billion by 2032.

A type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture; ‘Hydroponics’ is an advanced, modern and environment-friendly farming technique which involves the process of growing a wide range of fruit plants and vegetables with the usage of mineral nutrient solutions in liquid, sand, or gravel while eliminating the use of soil, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides. The plant roots are inserted under the chemical solution, the nutrients of which can come from a variety of different sources including fish excrement, duck manure, purchased chemical fertilizers, or artificial nutrient solutions.

Some of the advantages offered by hydroponic systems include the removal of risk of diseases that are caused by soil organisms, generation of higher yield than similar plants grown in soil, almost 50% faster harvest time than traditional method, reduction in the effects of external environmental factors on crop growth as it provides controlled environment conditions and massive reduction in the burden on natural resources such as land and water, as it requires very less indoor space and the water used in the nutrient solution can be easily recycled and reused.

The global hydroponics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.9% over the period of next 10 years.


Hydroponics Market Drivers

The growth of this market is attributed towards major pertaining factors including; the burgeoning difficulty of growing crops on soil across all regions, the proliferating application of hydroponics in various commercial and residential buildings such as restaurants and residential terraces, the ever-growing population leading to the growth in demand for food products, the reducing arable land area worldwide, the rising adoption of hydroponic systems for indoor farming of vegetables, the increasing awareness among consumers regarding the effects of pesticides and artificial ripening agents on their health, the surging demand for sustainable and protected farming practices and the increasing acceptance of controlled environment agriculture across the globe etc.

Additionally, the tremendous influx of capital by the market players in the recent years has extensively led to an extensive growth in the research and development activities for the achievement of state-of-art technologies that enhance the production levels and also enable variety of cultivations possible. Few notable developments have been in the form of advancements in climate control, nutrient film technique, and sensing technologies among others. Consequently, the hydroponics farming solution providers are seen to be rolling out various ways for the monitoring and management of crops with a plethora of sensors, web platforms, software, and mobile applications. Thus, the introduction of advanced technologies for improving the efficiency of hydroponics technology to enhance the quality and quantity of the produce is creating massive opportunities for the growth of the hydroponics market.

Moreover, governments across different developed and developing regions are witnessed to be extending their support by proactively encouraging the adoption of hydroponics systems by offering subsidies owing to their benefits in terms of environment and food security. Alongside, various non-governmental organizations are also joining their hands and offering their support in the adoption of the hydroponic systems which in turn, is adding to the growth of the hydroponics market collectively.

Furthermore, other factors such as the growing water scarcity across the globe, the growing trend of building indoor gardens for growing organic vegetables with the use of hydroponics technology, the bolstering demand for exotic fruits and vegetables at a higher rate due to the increasing purchasing power of consumers, the rising cultivation of medicinal plants and the proliferating adoption of alternative farming methods for cannabis cultivation owing to the legalization of marijuana in different countries further augment the growth of the hydroponics market.

However, factors such as the high capital investment and maintenance cost associated with hydroponics, the lack of government support and awareness among the farming communities regarding hydroponics especially in the developing countries and the concerns regarding spread of waterborne diseases and algae in closed systems hinder the growth of the hydroponics market.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. Instead, plants are grown in a nutrient-rich solution that is circulated around the roots. Hydroponic systems can be used to grow plants indoors or outdoors, and they are often used in commercial farming operations.

The benefits of hydroponics include higher yields, faster growth rates, and greater control over growing conditions. Hydroponic systems also use less water and nutrients compared to traditional soil-based farming, making them more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Almost any type of plant can be grown with hydroponics, including vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers. However, some plants may be better suited for hydroponic growing than others, depending on factors such as nutrient requirements and growth habits.

There are several different types of hydroponic systems, including deep water culture, nutrient film technique, aeroponics, and drip irrigation. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of system will depend on factors such as the type of plant being grown and the available space and resources.

The key components of a hydroponic system include a container for holding the nutrient solution, a growing medium, a water pump or circulation system, and a system for delivering nutrients to the roots. Additional components may include lighting, ventilation, and pH and nutrient monitoring equipment.

The global hydroponics market size was valued at USD 1.9 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 5.2 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2032.
