Global Hydroponics Market Definition

Hydroponics is the procedure of growing plants by using mineral nutrient solutions in sand, gravel, or liquid in absence of soil. In other words, an agricultural technique is utilized to grow plants in a soil-less medium, such as a mineral nutrient and water solution. Hydroponics is termed as a subset of hydroculture, one of the fastest-growing soil-less farming approaches at a global level, using mineral nutrient solutions, in water without soil.

Besides, the hydroponic plant grows faster as compared to a soil plant when produced under the same conditions. The nutrients in a hydroponic system are treated with water and transferred to the root system. Moreover, hydroponic gardening needs less water than soil gardening as they frequently use nutrient solutions. The whole process of Hydroponics requires only nutrients, water, and sunlight to let plants cultivate a lot better with their roots in water.

Nutrient-rich water is permitted to flow via the pipe network containing submerged plant roots. The plants are grown under controlled environmental conditions with good temperature, light, relative humidity, nutrient, and water supply. This technique is practiced in an area with limited cultivable land availability. Hydroponics saves land and water usage for crop production. Several types of crops are possible to cultivate using hydroponics such as fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

Global Hydroponics Market Overview

The more increased yield as compared to traditional agriculture practices is driving the global Hydroponics Market. The plants grown in hydroponic systems have achieved a higher yield than the traditional agriculture system, with its productivity being 2 to 5 times higher. Also, owing to controlled environmental circumstances, the effect of climatic changes can be balanced with the support of these systems, thereby not impacting the annual crop production. CEH techniques instantly affect the crop harvest cycle. Since climatic changes show a minor effect on such systems, crops can be produced all year, thereby improving the yearly produce.

Moreover, salad crops are achieving popularity and the increasing need for food security may drive global market growth.Besides, with the growing adoption of hydroponics globally, manufacturers and researchers are working on improving the efficiency of hydroponics technology to improve the quality and quantity of the produce. Numerous companies in the market are supporting heavily R&D for obtaining state-of-art technologies that boost production and also bring about a variety of cultivations possible. Strategic partnerships with research labs and institutes further propel the growth of the hydroponics market.

Changing preferences of people for Hydroponics as profit farming is the primary factor driving the growth of the global Hydroponics Market. There are certain restraints and challenges faced which will hamper the overall market growth. The factors such as High capital investment for large-scale farms are restraining market growth. Different types of equipment including fans, , ventilation, irrigation systems, control systems, rails, and lights are the fundamental cost factors in a hydroponic farm. Further, the lack of government policy and tax breaks in evolving countries and the spread of waterborne diseases and algae in closed systems is the potential restraints hampering the overall growth of the global Hydroponics Market.

Global Hydroponics Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global Hydroponics Market is segmented based on Type, Crop Type, Equipment, And Geography.

Hydroponics Market, By Type

• Aggregate Systems
• Liquid Systems

Based on Type, The market is bifurcated into Aggregate Systems and Liquid Systems. The liquid systems hold the largest market share during the projection period. Liquid systems are admiringly efficient and cost-effective in comparison to traditional models. The economics of liquid systems are marked to be feasible since all liquid systems operate in a closed mode, which lowers the cost of nutrient solutions. Also, liquid systems deliver higher productivity, and hence the growers have been installing liquid systems for their crop production.

Hydroponics Market, By Crop Type

• Vegetables
• Fruits
• Flowers

Based on Crop Type, The market is bifurcated into Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers. The fruits segment is evaluated to witness the highest CAGR during the projection period. Fruits cultivated using hydroponics can be harvested throughout the year due to the internal conditions of the greenhouse farming unit. Water-adaptable fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, and tomatoes are among the ideal choice for farmers as they are more effortless to grow using hydroponic methods. With more and more varieties of fruits carried under cultivation in hydroponics, the market is estimated to grow more quickly.

Hydroponics Market, By Equipment

• HVAC
• LED Grow Lights
• Irrigation Systems
• Control Systems

Based on Equipment, The market is bifurcated into HVAC, Led Grow Light, Irrigation Systems, and Control Systems. The HVAC system maintains the largest market share during the projection period. Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning, or HVAC plays a major role in the development of indoor growers, as the system is accountable for cooling, dehumidification, and maintaining the optimum temperature inside the facility. HVAC systems are necessary for the operation of hydroponic and aeroponic farms and should be reliable and well-controlled.

Hydroponics Market, By Geography

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Rest of the world

Based on Regional Analysis, The Global Hydroponics Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the world. Europe has the largest market share.
