根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,全球水耕市場預計在 2025 年達到 57.2 億美元,到 2032 年將達到 146.7 億美元,複合年成長率為 14.4%。
水耕是一種現代的無土栽培方法,利用富含營養的溶液將人體必需的礦物質直接輸送到作物根部。這種方法非常適合都市區和土壤貧瘠的地區,因為它可以讓作物生長更快,耗水量更少,並在受控的環境中茁壯成長。無土水耕技術可以在任何氣候條件下實現全年生產,並降低病蟲害的風險。作物的種類和規模決定了各種系統的使用,包括氣耕、深水栽培和營養膜栽培。此外,水耕技術在種植蔬菜、香草和綠葉蔬菜方面越來越受歡迎,因為它環保、節省空間,並為未來提供了永續的農業解決方案。
根據美國農業部的數據,美國有超過1,900萬人生活在低收入地區,難以取得超級市場和大型雜貨店。在這種情況下,水耕系統提供了一種在室內種植生菜、菠菜和香草等蔬菜的方法。
全年糧食生產需求不斷成長
推動水耕市場發展的關鍵因素之一是對全年穩定糧食供應的需求。聯合國糧食及農業組織 (FAO) 指出,包括水耕在內的受控環境農業 (CEA) 可以透過建立不受外部氣候變遷影響的理想生長條件來穩定產量。即使在淡季,這也能確保新鮮水果、蔬菜和香草的穩定供應鏈,減少對進口的依賴,並實現季節性供應。除了縮短運輸時間外,水耕農場還可以建在更靠近城市居民的地方,從而提高新鮮度並最大限度地減少收穫後的損失。
初期投資成本高
水耕法高昂的初始設置成本是其廣泛應用的主要障礙之一。與傳統農業相比,水耕法需要專門的基礎設施,包括氣候控制設備、生長燈、水泵和營養輸送系統。聯合國糧食及農業組織 (FAO) 估計,受控環境農業每平方公尺的資本成本是露天農業的數倍。這種可負擔性對中小型農戶來說可能是一個挑戰,尤其是在農業信貸稀缺的開發中國家。此外,雖然提高產量和減少投入最終可能會降低營運成本,但許多人仍然認為初始投資是一個障礙。
物聯網和自動化技術進步
自動化、人工智慧和物聯網 (IoT) 技術正在融入水耕種植,為可擴充性和效率創造了新的機會。根據美國國家航空暨太空總署 (NASA) 的高級生命維持計劃,自動監測溫度、濕度、光照和營養水平可以最大限度地促進植物生長,同時降低人事費用和減少人為錯誤。預測分析可用於最佳化作物週期以獲得最佳產量,而雲端基礎的系統則允許種植者遠端管理農場。此外,隨著這些技術變得更加經濟實惠,水耕種植可能會越來越受到中小企業的青睞。
與傳統耕作方法的競爭
儘管水耕技術具有技術優勢,但對於許多作物而言,傳統土壤栽培仍更為成熟且經濟實惠。聯合國糧食及農業組織 (FAO) 指出,由於傳統方法擴充性且生產成本低廉,它們仍在用於生產水稻、玉米和小麥等主要作物。與更便宜、更適合當地的耕作方法相比,水耕對於開發中國家的農民來說可能在經濟上不切實際。此外,這種成本差異可能會阻礙水耕的廣泛採用,尤其是在基礎設施和補貼明顯有利於傳統農業的地區。
新冠疫情對水耕產業產生了許多影響,既帶來了發展障礙,也帶來了機會。在危機初期,勞動力短缺影響了農場營運,全球供應鏈中斷也延誤了種子、營養物和設備等關鍵水耕物資的交付。然而,在封鎖和旅行限制擾亂傳統食品供應鏈的時期,水耕技術因其在受控環境下全年提供新鮮、無農藥的作物而廣受歡迎。據聯合國糧食及農業組織 (FAO) 稱,由於消費者、零售商和政府認知到建立一個具有韌性、去中心化的食品體系的必要性,疫情加速了人們對室內和城市農業解決方案的興趣。這種轉變推動了對水耕系統的投資,自疫情爆發以來,這種投資一直持續成長。
預測期內,綠葉蔬菜市場預計將成為最大的市場
預計綠葉類將在預測期內佔據最大市場佔有率,這主要得益於其適合受控環境農業、生長週期短以及強勁的市場需求。羽衣甘藍、菠菜和生菜等作物一年可收穫多次,生長迅速,並能獲得精準的養分供應,是水耕系統的理想選擇。糧農組織指出,綠葉特別適合垂直農業和城市農業,能夠在靠近消費市場的地方實現可靠且優質的生產。葉菜類常用於沙拉、家常小菜和健康膳食,其高效利用水分和養分的特性使其成為全球種植最廣泛、經濟效益最高的水耕蔬菜作物。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hydroponics Market is accounted for $5.72 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $14.67 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 14.4% during the forecast period. Hydroponics is a modern method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions to deliver essential minerals directly to the roots. Urban areas and areas with poor soil quality are perfect for this technique because it enables crops to grow more quickly, use less water, and flourish in controlled environments. Without soil, hydroponics allows for year-round production in any climate while lowering the risk of pests and diseases. Crop type and scale determine the use of different systems, including aeroponics, deep water culture, and nutrient film technique. Moreover, hydroponics is becoming more and more popular for growing vegetables, herbs, and leafy greens because it provides environmentally friendly, space-efficient, and sustainable farming solutions for the future.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, more than 19 million people in the United States live in low-income neighborhoods with limited access to supermarkets or large grocery stores... in these contexts, hydroponic systems can be used as a method to grow vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, and herbs indoors.
Growing demand for year-round food production
One of the main factors propelling the hydroponics market is the requirement for a steady, year-round supply of food. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) claims that by establishing ideal growing conditions independent of external climate fluctuations, controlled-environment agriculture (CEA), which includes hydroponics, can stabilize production. This lessens dependency on imports and seasonal availability by guaranteeing a consistent supply chain for fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs even during off-seasons. In addition to reducing transportation times, hydroponic farms situated nearer to urban populations enhance freshness and minimize post-harvest losses.
High upfront investment expenses
The high initial setup costs of hydroponics are one of the main barriers to its widespread use. In contrast to conventional farming, hydroponics necessitates specific infrastructure, including climate control devices, grow lights, pumps, and nutrient delivery systems. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) claims that compared to open-field farming, the capital cost per square meter of controlled-environment agriculture can be several times greater. Small and medium-sized farmers may find the price tag to be a challenge, especially in developing nations where financing for agriculture is scarce. Furthermore, higher yields and fewer inputs may eventually result in lower operating costs, but many people still find the initial investment to be a barrier.
Technological advancements in IoT and automation
Automation, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are being incorporated into hydroponics, creating new opportunities for scalability and efficiency. Automatic monitoring of temperature, humidity, light, and nutrient levels can maximize plant growth while lowering labor costs and human error, according to NASA's Advanced Life Support Program. Predictive analytics can be used to optimize crop cycles for optimal yield, and cloud-based systems can enable growers to manage farms from a distance. Moreover, hydroponics will become more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses as these technologies become more reasonably priced.
Competition from conventional farming
Hydroponics offers technological benefits, but for many crops, traditional soil-based farming is still much more established and economical. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) observes that because of their high scalability and low production costs, traditional methods continue to be used to produce staple crops like rice, maize, and wheat. Comparing hydroponics to less expensive, locally tailored agricultural methods may make it economically impractical for farmers in developing nations. Additionally, this cost difference may hinder the uptake of hydroponics, particularly in areas where infrastructure and subsidies heavily favor conventional farming.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the hydroponics industry in a number of ways, posing both obstacles and chances for expansion. Farm operations were impacted by labor shortages in the early phases of the crisis, and global supply chain disruptions delayed the delivery of crucial hydroponic supplies, including seeds, nutrients, and equipment. However, hydroponics gained popularity due to its capacity to produce fresh, pesticide-free crops locally and year-round in controlled environments as lockdowns and movement restrictions upset traditional food supply chains. As consumers, retailers, and governments realized the need for resilient, decentralized food systems, the pandemic sped up interest in indoor and urban farming solutions, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This change has aided in the ongoing post-pandemic investment in hydroponic systems.
The leafy greens segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The leafy greens segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, mainly because of their good suitability for controlled-environment agriculture, short growth cycles, and strong market demand. Crops that can be harvested several times a year, grow quickly, and receive precise nutrient delivery, like kale, spinach, and lettuce, flourish in hydroponic systems. The FAO states that leafy greens are particularly well-suited for vertical and urban farming systems, which allow for reliable, superior production near consumer markets. Because they are popular in salads, ready-to-eat meals, and health-conscious diets, and because they use water and nutrients efficiently, they are the most widely grown and economically viable segment of hydroponic farming in the world.
The cannabis cultivation segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the cannabis cultivation segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate, motivated by the high economic value of the crop and the growing legalization of cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes in different areas. Hydroponic systems are especially well-suited for cannabis because they give exact control over environmental factors, pH, and nutrients, which leads to faster growth cycles, higher yields, and consistent quality-all of which are essential for satisfying stringent regulatory requirements. Agricultural extension programs and industry associations have found that cannabis growers are increasingly using hydroponics to increase product potency and space efficiency while lowering the risk of pests and diseases. This quick adoption, along with the expanding global cannabis market, makes this hydroponics segment the fastest-growing in terms of growth rate.
During the forecast period, the Europe region is expected to hold the largest market share, driven by the widespread use of soilless farming methods, robust government support for sustainable agriculture, and sophisticated greenhouse infrastructure. Commercial-scale hydroponic production is most prevalent in nations like the Netherlands, Spain, and France. The Netherlands is frequently recognized as a global center for controlled-environment agriculture because of its advanced technology and export-focused horticulture sector. The adoption of hydroponics has been further accelerated by the European Union's emphasis on lowering pesticide use, conserving water, and encouraging year-round local food production. Furthermore, Europe's dominance of the market has been cemented by consumer demand for fresh, premium produce as well as the region's proficiency in precision agriculture.
Over the forecast period, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, driven by rising population pressures, fast urbanization, and growing awareness of sustainable farming practices. Hydroponic systems are being adopted more quickly in nations like China, India, Japan, and Australia in response to the need for year-round food production, water scarcity, and the reduction of arable land. Moreover, growth is also being fueled by government programs supporting modern agriculture and an increase in private agritech company investments. Together with developments in affordable hydroponic technologies, the region's growing middle class and rising demand for fresh, pesticide-free produce have made Asia-Pacific the world's fastest-growing market segment.
