As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Akash Vedpathak, “The hydroponic farming market” is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period 2022-2030. Key factors that are anticipated to fuel the demand for the UAE hydroponic farming market during the forecast period are the increased plants density and higher yields. Conversely, high cost associated with the system hamper the market growth. Development of innovative hydroponic technologies are expected to create opportunities in the market.

In hydroponic farming, plants are grown using nutrient solutions (water-containing fertilizers), with or without the use of an artificial medium such as gravel, vermiculite, peat moss, sawdust, sand, rock wool, perlite, coir, coconut fiber, coir dust, and others, for offering mechanical support. This method of agriculture is also known as aquaculture, nutriculture, soilless culture, or tank farming.

The Greek words "hydro“, which means water, and "ponos," which implies labor or water work, were combined to form the term, "hydroponics." Professor William Gericke first used the term, "hydroponics“, in the early 1930s to describe a method of growing plants where the roots are suspended in nutrient-rich water. In 1940, researchers at Purdue University promoted the nutriculture concept.

Commercial aqua-farming fields were established in the 1960s and 1970s in places such as Arizona, Abu Dhabi, Belgium, California, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Iran, Italy, Japan, the Russian Federation, and other countries. 
In the future, farms are projected to use hydroponic farming methods, particularly vertical farming. In order to sustainably feed a growing population, hydroponic farming aids in the production of significant quantities of nutritious fruits and vegetables.

The word, ‘supply chain’, refers to all procedures involved in transforming an idea into a tangible good or service, through a series of intermediate production, distribution, and disposal phases. These procedures include production, distribution, design, marketing, and customer support services. In the supply chain process, the value of the product increases as it passes through various stages of the supply chain. The hydroponic farming supply chain involves various stakeholders who contribute to the creation and delivery of the farming products.

While COVID-19 has affected nearly every aspect of the economy, the agriculture industry is amongst the most affected ones. The industry is still coping with the dual effects of declining sales and rising costs, which have put the suppliers in a difficult financial position. Due to consecutive lockdowns, social distancing norms, and supply chain disruption, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the hydroponic farming market.

Severe lockdowns and shutdowns halted customer movement and severely disrupted the hydroponic farming companies, which resulted into the shift of the consumer behavior that adopted hydroponic farming. The increasing demand for fresh produce creates opportunities for the farmers to sell their products directly to consumers through local market, community programs, and online platforms.

Hydroponic farming with its ability to produce fresh produce is an attractive option for urban and suburban communities looking forward to establish local food system, leading to the increasing investment in the hydroponic farming.


Hydroponic farms control everything, from seeds to stores, and as a result, the market is now witnessing a tremendous growth rate. Additionally, hydroponic farms provide consumers with information about the place of origin and method of production of their food. The pandemic increased the importance of hydroponic farming, as it ensures food security and helps the country meet the demand for crops during COVID-19.

Key Takeaways from the Study:

  • Based on type, the hydroponic farming market is segmented into aggregate hydroponic systems and liquid hydroponic systems.

  • The aggregate hydroponic system segment is subdivided into a closed system and open system. In the aggregate hydroponic system, solid media and inert, including rockwool, sand, coconut coir, peat, vermiculite, and sawdust, provide support to plants. The aggregate hydroponic system segment is projected to expand at a XX% CAGR during the forecast period.

  • Sharjah and rest of the UAE are held XX% and XX% shares respectively of the hydroponic farming market in 2021. The demand for vegetables and exotic fruits has been constantly expanding at a high rate, due to the increased purchasing power of consumers on account of rising health concerns. This is expected to boost the market in Sharjah and the rest of the UAE.
