What Is Covered Under Hydroponics Market?

Hydroponics refers to a method of growing crops without using soil, replacing it with another material to support the plant's roots, and doing so in nutrient-rich water. Because plants are more closely spaced out in a hydroponic system than they would be on a plot of land to cultivate the same number of plants, hydroponic plants generate more fruits and vegetables. The main types of hydroponics systems include aggregate systems and liquid systems. The aggregate system refers to a solid, and inert medium used to provide support growth of plants. Both open and closed aggregate systems are used based on dependence over-recovery or reuse of surplus amount of the solutions. They are used for indoor and outdoor farming of vegetables, fruits, and flowers.

What Is The Hydroponics Market Growth Forecast?

The hydroponics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for urban farming, rising focus on water conservation, increasing commercialization of hydroponic farms, growth in sustainable food production, rising preference for pesticide-free produce. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of soilless cultivation, rising demand for high-density urban farming, increasing use of water-efficient farming methods, expansion of controlled environment agriculture, shift toward continuous year-round crop production.

What Is Driver Of The Hydroponics Market?

The rising demand for organic produce is expected to propel the growth of the hydroponics market going forward. Organic produce refers to agricultural products grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), following strict standards to maintain natural and sustainable practices. Organic hydroponics utilizes soilless cultivation methods with organic-certified inputs and natural practices to grow produce while meeting organic standards. For instance, in May 2023, according to Australian Organic limited, an Australia-based food company, in Australia, there exists more than 53 million hectares of certified organic farmland, accounting for roughly 70% of the world's total organic land. The country boasts a total of 3,035 certified organic businesses actively operating, with 53% engaged in production, 45% in processing, and 2% involved in both aspects of the organic industry. Therefore, the rising demand for organic produce is driving the growth of the hydroponics industry.
