Hydroponics Industry: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Agriculture
Hydroponics is a form of soilless cultivation where plants are grown using mineral nutrient solutions in water. Unlike traditional farming, hydroponic systems allow precise control over nutrients, water, temperature, and light, resulting in faster growth cycles and improved crop quality. The industry plays a critical role in addressing challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, urbanization, and food security . Hydroponic farming is widely used for growing leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, strawberries, and other high-value crops. With increasing adoption in greenhouses and indoor vertical farms, hydroponics is becoming a cornerstone of sustainable and smart agriculture worldwide. Market Size and Share: The global hydroponics market has witnessed strong growth in recent years: The market was valued at approximately USD 12–14 billion in 2024 It is projected to reach USD 30–35 billion by 2032 Expected to grow at a CAGR of around 1...
