Global Hydroponics Market Overview
The key driver impacting the hydroponics market is the higher yields offered by hydroponic farms with a lower need for land area and resources. The plants grown in hydroponic systems can attain 20%–25% higher yield with 2–5 times high productivity as compared to the conventional agriculture system. In addition, the rising population is increasing the demand for food across the world, thus driving the need for alternative farming technologies that give high yields in less time. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) report estimates the world population to reach 9.1 billion by the year 2050, and demand for food is expected to increase from between 25% to 70%. This will create massive demand for hydroponic farms to produce high-yield crops. Moreover, the rising adoption of hydroponics for cannabis production due to the legalization of marijuana in countries like South Africa, Canada, the Czech Republic, etc., contributes to the development of the hydroponics market in the coming years.
According to Value Market Research, the global Hydroponics market size was valued at about USD 1.75 billion in 2020 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 22.5% during the forecast period 2021 to 2027.
