DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "GCC Hydroponic Market Forecast Report by Type, Crop Type, Equipment, Region, and Company 2024-2032" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Hydroponic Market in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is projected to reach a significant value of US$ 614.05 million by 2032, up from US$ 202.69 million in 2023. This growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.11% from 2024 to 2032, is largely driven by the increasing adoption of hydroponic agricultural methods in the region.

Hydroponics: Revolutionizing Agriculture in the GCC

As an innovative agricultural technique, hydroponics allows for the cultivation of plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in water instead. This method is particularly suitable for the GCC due to its arid climate and scarcity of arable land. Hydroponics technology is recognized for its efficiency in water usage, making it a sustainable choice for the region's agriculture sector. The method ensures a consistent supply of crops throughout the year and reduces reliance on food imports, thus enhancing the food security of the GCC nations.

Key Market Drivers

The market is witnessing a robust growth trajectory due to hydroponics' water-saving capabilities, vital in the water-deficient region of the GCC. Additionally, the technology enables all-year-round cultivation of crops locally, diminishing the dependence on food imports and boosting regional food security. GCC governments are also actively promoting and investing in hydroponic farming to address climate and water scarcity challenges.

The Flourishing UAE Hydroponics Sector

The United Arab Emirates serves as an exemplar within the hydroponics sector, with substantial investment from both governmental and private entities. Such strategic initiatives aim to foster long-term sustainability and food self-sufficiency through advanced hydroponic farming methods.

Company Landscape in the GCC Hydroponics Market
