Hydroponics is a state-of-the-art technique used for producing food in a controlled, soilless setting. It provides complete control of environmental factors, such as pH, light, air temperature, microorganisms, tilth, and nutrient content. It helps grow plants in a liquid nutrient solution comprising expanded clay, coir, perlite, vermiculite, brick shards, polystyrene packing peanuts, and wood fiber. At present, highly precise, data-driven, automated, and scalable hydroponics solutions are being developed worldwide. These solutions allow tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers and ornamental crops like herbs, roses, freesia, and foliage plants to be produced in smaller spaces.

Hydroponics Market Trends:
Increasing food shortage on account of the rising global population, rapid urbanization, reducing arable land area, and climatic changes are among the key factors bolstering the market growth. Moreover, conventional commercial farming practices rely on pesticides, agrochemicals, mechanization, and mono-cropping, which deplete topsoil and aquifers and pollute water and air. This, along with the growing awareness among farmers about the environmental impacts of traditional soil-based farming, is contributing to the adoption of hydroponics around the world. In addition to this, hydroponic farming requires less water, eliminates soil-related diseases, and provides faster growth and high crop yields. As a result, governing agencies of numerous countries are promoting its use in areas with poor soil conditions like deserts and cold regions to overcome food shortage challenges. Apart from this, due to the inflating income levels and rising consumer inclination towards home-grown organic fruits and vegetables, home-based hydroponic gardening is gaining traction across the globe. In line with this, researchers are focusing on developing efficient indoor and outdoor hydroponic gardening methods, which are anticipated to influence the demand for hydroponics positively.
