According to the research report titled, 'Hydroponics Market by Type (Aggregate System, Non-aggregate System), Equipment (HVAC System, LED Grow Lights, Irrigation System, Control System, Material Handling), Input (Nutrients, Growth Media), Crop Type (Vegetables, Fruits)-Global Forecast to 2030,' the hydroponics market is projected to reach $35.4 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 15.6% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The report provides an in-depth analysis of the hydroponics market across five major regions, emphasizing the current market trends, market sizes, recent developments, and forecasts till 2030.
Following extensive secondary and primary research and an in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report conducts an impact analysis of the key industry drivers, restraints, opportunities, and trends. The growth of the hydroponics market is driven by the growing population and reduction in arable land, changing climatic conditions and erratic weather patterns, rising need to increase agricultural productivity, increase in demand for fresh food products among the urban population, and growing demand for chemical-free fruits and vegetables. In addition, the rising adoption of hydroponics farming for cannabis cultivation further supports the growth of this market.
However, technological advancement in the hydroponics sector and increasing adoption of urban farming using vertical hydroponics systems are expected to create market growth opportunities. On the other hand, the lack of knowledge and expertise in the majority of farmers poses a significant challenge to the market's growth.
The key players operating in the hydroponics market are Argus Control Systems Ltd. (Canada), Signify Holding B.V. (Netherlands), The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (U.S.), Hydroponic Systems International (Spain), Hydrodynamics International Inc (U.S.), AmHydro (U.S.), Emerald Harvest (U.S.), Heliospectra AB (Sweden), Freight Farms, Inc. (U.S.), Logiqs BV (Netherlands), AirLogix (U.S.), and Nutriculture Grow Systems (U.K).
Based on type, the hydroponics market is segmented into non-aggregate systems (liquid systems) and aggregate systems. In 2023, the non-aggregate system (liquid system) segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global hydroponics market. The large market share of this segment is mainly due to the increasing popularity of liquid system cultivation among growers. In addition, non-aggregate (liquid) systems eliminate the use of a solid medium, and the roots are directly submerged in the nutrient solution, making the cultivation process easier. Moreover, as the nutrients are directly provided to the roots of a plant, liquid systems expedite the growth, thereby giving maximum yields. Although this soilless farming method mitigates the risk of soil-borne diseases, the risk of dispersal of pathogens increases by recirculating nutrient solutions in closed systems.
Based on type, the hydroponics equipment market is segmented into HVAC systems, LED grow lights, irrigation systems, control systems, and other equipment. The LED grow lights segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2023-2030. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the growing indoor farming and rising adoption of the grow light in indoor farming, as they play a vital role in plant photosynthesis as they emit essential light required by plants for photosynthesis. Also, growers can experiment with the light recipes to change the flavor, size, and other aspects using spectrum-chargeable LED grow lights. Moreover, the ban on older and inefficient halogen units in the European Union from September 2018 is increasing the adoption of LED grow lights during the forecast period.
Based on type, the hydroponics input market is segmented into nutrients and growth media. In 2023, the nutrients segment is expected to account for a larger share of the hydroponics market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to its necessity to grow crops in both aggregate and non-aggregate systems. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the major nutrients required for the growth of plants. The deficiency of these nutrients caters to the growth of discoloration, stunted growth, and scattered spots in the plants.
Based on crop type, the hydroponics market is segmented into vegetables, fruits, flowers, and other crop types. In 2023, the vegetables segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global hydroponics market. This segment's large market share is attributed to the growing demand for premium quality and exotic vegetables. The demand for exotic vegetables has constantly been growing at a higher rate due to the increased purchasing power of consumers in most developed and developing countries. Hydroponics farmers are highly focused on establishing more simplified hydroponics systems to accelerate the production of exotic vegetables and meet the escalating demand. Also, with the rapid urbanization, the demand for hydroponically grown vegetables has been increasing from QSRs, hotels, fast food chains, railway catering, NGOs, and defense, supporting the growth of this global market.
An in-depth geographic analysis of the industry provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into the five major regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) and the coverage of major countries in each region. In 2023, Europe is expected to account for the dominant position in the global hydroponics market. The dominant position of this region is primarily attributed to the presence of key players, technological advancements, high adoption of hydroponics driven by rapid industrialization and scarcity of land, availability of required infrastructure to run hydroponics farms, and rising demand for fresh and chemical-free food. Moreover, the rising government support for hydroponics farming further drives the growth of this market.
