Hydroponics Market by Type (Aggregate Systems, Liquid Systems), Crop Type (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers), Equipment (HVAC, Led Grow Light, Irrigation Systems, Material Handling, Control Systems), Input, and Region Global Forecast to 2025
[170 Pages Report] The overall hydroponics system market is projected to grow from USD 8.1 billion in 2019 to USD 16.0 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 12.1%. Hydroponic systems provide higher yield compared to traditional agricultural techniques, owing to the increase in harvest cycles. Furthermore, hydroponic systems eliminate the use of artificial ripening agents and pesticides, which helps in creating nutritionally superior vegetable products. The market for hydroponics is fragmented at the global level, with multiple innovative start-ups and emerging companies entering the hydroponics market. Major companies have been trying to enter this space, either by developing hydroponic components or by investing in the technology for crop cultivation.
On the basis of system type, the liquid systems segment is projected to be the largest contributor to the hydroponic systems market during the forecast period
The hydroponic systems market has been segmented, on the basis of system type, into aggregate and liquid systems. The hydroponics market for liquid systems is projected to record the highest growth between 2019 and 2025. Liquid systems have been proved to be efficient and also cost-effective in comparison to basic models. In comparison with the closed model of aggregate systems, liquid systems show higher productivity, and hence, the majority of the growers have been installing liquid systems for their crop production. Moreover, liquid systems are used extensively for lettuce production and also support tomatoes in multiple regions.
Hydroponic farming has been majorly adopted for vegetable production
The major factor for higher adoption of hydroponic farming in vegetable production is the yield obtained, which can be up to 10 times higher than traditional farming techniques. Since the capital cost involved in hydroponic setup is high, the crops produced are sold at premium rates, and according to industry experts, the price of the produce ranges at par with the organic produce prices. Vegetables that are grown using hydroponics are known to grow faster and stronger compared to traditional farming, as the right nutrients are delivered directly to the plants roots.
LED lights have proven to be effective in stimulating plant growth
The hydroponics market is segmented, on the basis of equipment, into HVAC, LED grow light, irrigation systems, material handling, control systems, and others. The light spectrum emitted by LED lights has proven to be effective in stimulating plant growth and is witnessing increased demand from hydroponic growers. Plants such as tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, kale, strawberries, peppers, beets, and other vegetables can be grown with LED grow lights. The increasing adoption and demand for LED grow lights have resulted in the ban of older and inefficient halogen units in the European Union from September 2018. These factors are further projected to drive the demand for LED grow lights.
Europe is projected to account for the largest market size during the forecast period
The European hydroponics market is projected to be the largest between 2019 and 2025, while the Asia Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR. Europe was the largest producer of hydroponic crops in 2018. It is still the largest market for hydroponically produced crops. Europe has traditionally been at the forefront of implementing advanced techniques in hydroponic smart greenhouse horticulture. Countries such as the Netherlands, Spain, and France have large areas under greenhouse cultivation. However, in the Netherlands, growers mostly cultivate their plants in simple tunnel-like greenhouses without the use of climate control technologies. The advancement in greenhouse farming has supported the growth of hydroponics in Europe.
Key Market Players
The hydroponics market is divided into two segments-system input providers and hydroponic crop producers. The key players in the hydroponic system input providers market include Signify Holdings (Netherlands), Argus Control Systems (Canada), Heliospectra AB (Sweden), Scotts Miracle Gro (US), American Hydroponics (US), and LumiGrow (US). The key players in the hydroponic crop producer market include Aerofarms (US), Terra Tech Corp (US), Hydroponic Farms (UAE), Triton Foodworks Ltd. (India), Urban cultivator (Canada), Village Farms (Canada), Green Sense Holdings (US), and Iron Ox (US).
These players are undertaking strategies such as new product developments and launches and divestments to improve their market positions and extend their competitive advantage.
Recent Developments
- In April 2019, Signify Holdings (Netherlands) announced the acquisition of WiZ Connected (China), the developers of the WiZ Wi-Fi-based connected lighting ecosystem. The acquisition would help the company to step into wi-fi based smart lighting market.
- In June 2018, the Hawthorne segment of the Scotts Miracle Grow (US) acquired all the assets of Sunlight Supply, based in Vancouver, Washington, US. It is one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of horticulture, organics, lighting, and hydroponics products. The transaction price of the acquisition was USD 459.1 million.
Critical questions the report answers:
- Where will all these developments take the industry in the mid-to-long term?
- What are the upcoming commercial prospects for the hydroponics market?
- What is the impact of high capital investment on the hydroponics market?
- What are the new technologies introduced in hydroponics?
