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 this 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.
