Report Description


United Arab Emirates Hydroponic Farming Market Outlook 2030

The United Arab Emirates Hydroponic Farming Market was valued at AED 1656.6 Million in 2021 and is expected to reach AED 12892.8 Million in 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 26.3% during the forecast period, 2022 to 2030.

The overall incremental opportunity is estimated to be AED XX Million from 2022 to 2030. 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.

United Arab Emirates Hydroponic Farming Market Outlook

United Arab Emirates Hydroponic Farming Market Dynamics

Increased plants density and higher yields

Hydroponic farming allows the relocation of plants as they grow. The spacing of certain crops in a greenhouse and the utilization of a growth room for germination and seedling development reduces the average space required per plant as compared to conventional farming. Furthermore, the production capacity increases by 3 to 10 times in the same amount of land.

In a well-managed hydroponic system, many crops may grow two times faster than conventionally grown plants. The nutritional value of the fruits or vegetables produced is more as the time between harvest and consumption is decreased. These factors are expected to help the market to drive the UAE hydroponic farming market during the forecast period.

Less water requirement

The UAE has the largest per capita water consumption in the world, with irrigation making up 50% of total water use. Hydroponic agriculture is the practice of growing plants in nutrient-enriched water or in an inert medium such as gravel or rock wool through which nutrient-enriched water travels. The water in a hydroponic system is collected and reused, rather than allowing it to run off and drain into the environment.

Thus, it uses up to 10 times less water than conventional field crop watering methods. Commercial hydroponic agriculture takes 5% of the water and 13% of the space required by field-based agriculture to achieve the same yield. The UAE's largely desert landscape is increasing the demand for hydroponic farming in the country.

Temperature controlling feature to propel market growth

Hydroponic farms are equipped with HVAC systems that are often used to maintain a consistent temperature and simulate the outdoor environment. Hydroponic farms are equipped with LED lights that act as an alternative to the sun and help the plants photosynthesize. These LEDs add massive amounts of heat that need to be managed by an HVAC system.

The cooling system efficiently removes the excess heat gain, while maintaining a close average temperature for beneficial development. An automated temperature control system not only manages the light and watering cycles, but also maintains ideal nutrition, pH, and CO2 levels at all times, which in turn, is expected to boost the demand for hydroponic farming in the UAE.

High cost of the system hampers the market growth

A hydroponic system in the UAE consists of water pumps, fan systems, temperature sensors, and cooling pads due to extremely hot weather conditions. The water pump and cooling system account for a majority of the expense. The water pump circulates water to the cooling pads, while the fans suck in fresh air from the outside. The combined impact of the two reduces the temperature within the hydroponic farm.

The size of the water pump is determined by the size of the hydroponic farm. Installing a temperature control system for one acre of hydroponic farm costs between AED 40,000 and AED 60,000. Pumps, fertilizer tanks, a water treatment system, lighting, temperature, EC, and pH sensors, add AED 20000 to AED 35000 to the overall cost of the hydroponic farm.

The total cost of establishing a hydroponic farm on one acre of land is between AED 500,000 and AED 700,000, excluding the cost of land. High initial investment requirements and costly operating processes restrict small enterprises from entering the market. Existing businesses benefit from entry barriers, as they retain their market share and strength to make profits. Thus, restraining the market growth.

Development of innovative hydroponic technologies

The rapid development of innovative hydroponic technologies includes vertical farming and hydrosac. The modular architecture of vertical farms allows farmers to change the layout of the plants to optimize space consumption and ground area. Farmers grow 3 to 10 times more crops in the same amount of space as traditional farms, as vertical farms extend upward rather than outward on a horizontal plane, depending on the individual architecture.

The hydrosac system uses a deep-water culture growing technology, which results in high growth rates while reducing the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. These technologies are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market during the forecast period.
