Hydroponics Market Trends

The  Hydroponics market segmentation, based on type includes, aggregate system, and liquid hydroponics. The aggregate systems segment held the majority share in 2022 in the  hydroponics market data. This is due to its universal acceptance among all indoor hydroponic producers and the low cost and ease of setup. Inert and solid media, such as peat, rock wool, vermiculite, sand, sawdust, perlite, or coconut coir, support these systems' plants. Drip, ebb, flow, and wick systems are some of the main technologies used in aggregation systems. The ebb and flow aggregate system is the most popular and recommended due to its simplicity and inexpensive construction costs.

Hydroponics Input Insights

The  Hydroponics market segmentation, based on input, includes growth media, nutrients, and others. The nutrients segment dominated the market growth in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. This segment's substantial market share is explained by the requirement to grow crops in both aggregate and non-aggregate systems. Plants' three main nutrients to grow are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Lack of these nutrients causes the plants to become discolored, grow slowly, and have sporadic blotches. It is projected that these elements will propel the segment, hence contributing in the growth of the hydroponics market

The  Hydroponics market segmentation, based on equipment includes, HVAC, irrigation systems, led growing lights, and others. The bakery and confectionery segment held the majority share in 2022 in the  hydroponics market data. The HVAC system, which is responsible for cooling, dehumidifying, and maintaining the ideal temperature inside the facility, is crucial to developing indoor growers.

The indoor farming industry is expanding, and grow lights are increasingly used in indoor farming. These factors are largely responsible for the segment's rapid expansion since growing lights emit the critical light that plants need for photosynthesis. Using spectrum-chargeable LED grow lights, gardeners may also experiment with the light recipes to alter the flavor, size, and other characteristics. Also, the European Union's September 2018 ban on older, inefficient halogen units is causing an increase in the adoption of LED to grow lights during the forecast period.

The  Hydroponics market segmentation, based on crop type, includes vegetables, fruits, flowers, others. The vegetables segment dominated the market growth in 2022 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2022-2030. Hydroponically grown leafy greens, including spinach, arugula, kale, and lettuce, are becoming increasingly popular. Due to its relatively high raw consumption, green and red leaf lettuce is the most hydroponically cultivated vegetable among indoor growers. Due to the increased demand for lettuce from consumers and fast-food chains on the continent, hydroponically grown lettuce is becoming more popular in North America. It is projected that these elements will propel the segment, hence contributing in the growth of the hydroponics market

By region, the study provides the market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. European Hydroponics market accounted for USD 1.145 billion in 2022 with a share of around 45.80% and is expected to exhibit a significant CAGR growth during the study period. It can be attributed to the widespread use of hydroponics caused by increasing industrialization and a lack of available land. The developed economies of France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands are all in Europe. The region is also predicted to see a significant CAGR during the projection period due to the rapid growth of genetically modified agricultural technologies. New product development, partnerships, partnerships, expansions, mergers, and acquisitions are the main strategies used by the organisations in the market.

Further, the major countries studied in the market report are: The U.S, Canada, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.

Asia Pacific Hydroponics Market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030. The widespread use of hydroponics in nations like China, Australia, South Korea, and others can explain this. Due to the emergence of urban hydroponic farms, it is anticipated that the market in China and India will grow significantly during the projection period. Due to the many businesses present there, North America has a significant potential for growth. Further, the China Hydroponics market held the largest market share, and the India Hydroponics market was the fastest-growing market in the region.

North America Hydroponics Market accounts for the second-largest market share. Additionally, commercial vegetable growers are increasingly using hydroponic production since it is a productive way to manage inputs, facilitate the spread of disease and pests, and manage greater production areas without requiring much work. Farmers in the area should adopt hydroponics as a popular growth method since it reduces the need for soil fumigants and can enhance the yields of popular foods. Further, the U.S. Hydroponics market held the largest market share, and the Canada Hydroponics market was the fastest-growing market in the region.

Major market players are spending a lot of money on R&D to increase their product lines, which will help the Hydroponics market grow even more. Market participants are also taking a range of strategic initiatives to grow their worldwide footprint, with key market developments such as new product launches, mergers and acquisitions, contractual agreements, increased investments, and collaboration with other organizations. Competitors in the hydroponics industry must offer cost-effective items to expand and survive in an increasingly competitive and rising market environment.

One of the primary business strategies adopted by manufacturers in the  hydroponics industry to benefit clients and expand the market sector is to manufacture locally to reduce operating costs. In recent years, hydroponics industry has provided medicine with some of the most significant benefits. The Hydroponics market major player such Signify Holdings, American Hydroponics, Argus Control Systems, Grobo, Heliospectra AB, Logiqs B.V.

A proprietary aeroponic growing technique is used by AeroFarms, a sustainable indoor agricultural business headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, to grow food. The corporation owns and runs four farming operations in and around Newark. AeroFarms announced in April 2021 that the building has begun on its second 136,000-square-foot commercial indoor vertical farm in Danville-Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

In 1938, Philips Lighting Holding B.V. was established. The management of funds, trusts, and foundations established for purposes other than philanthropic, educational, or nonprofit research is one of the company's lines of business. The Netherlands-based corporation Signify Holding allocated 4.8% of its revenue to R&D in 2020. This investment is anticipated to aid the business in improving its product line.
