Hydroponics Market worth 395.2 M USD by 2020, According to a New Study on ASDReports

Tuesday 16 February 2016, Amsterdam

The report, now available on ASDReports, "Hydroponics Market by Equipment (HVAC, LED Grow Light, Communication Technology, Irrigation Systems, Material Handling & Control Systems), Type (Aggregate & Liquid), Crop Type, & by Input Type - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2020", The global hydroponics market is projected to reach USD 395.2 Million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 16.8% from 2015 to 2020.

There have been various factors which have played a major role in driving the hydroponics market across the globe. One of the major drivers is that hydroponics provides higher yield compared to traditional agricultural techniques. It also provides farmers the ability to grow crops in areas that cannot support crops in soil. Furthermore, hydroponics eliminates the use of artificial ripening agents and pesticides, which helps in creating nutritionally superior vegetable products.

Aggregate hydroponic systems lead the market with the largest share

On the basis of type, the hydroponics market is led by the aggregate hydroponic systems segment, followed by the liquid hydroponic systems segment. The aggregate hydroponic systems consist of the most commonly used hydroponic systems like the water culture system, the ebb and flow system, drip systems, and the wick system. The usage of these commonly used system is a major driver for the aggregate hydroponic systems across the globe.

HVAC accounted for the largest market share in 2014

HVAC accounted for the largest market share, followed by LED grow lights, in 2014. HVAC is dominating the market as heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning are the major elements required to create a controlled environment for hydroponic cultivation. Other equipment used in hydroponics includes LED grow lights, communication technologies, irrigation systems, material handling, control systems, and others.

Nutrients is the major input type used in hydroponic systems in 2014

Hydroponic systems consist of various types of inputs, apart from the equipment used in systems. These inputs are categorized into two types, namely, nutrients and mediums. There are two major types of nutrients used in hydroponics: micronutrients and macronutrients. In 2014, macronutrients accounted for the majority of the share of nutrients used in hydroponic systems as they are commonly used in efficient growth of the crops in a controlled environment.

Key to success of the hydroponics market in the European region

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. Hydroponics has flourished in Scandinavian countries where traditional agricultural techniques are nearly impossible during the winter season.
