Aquaponics Market Growth & Trends

The global aquaponics market size is expected to reach USD 2,294.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Aquaponics is the integration of two production systems, aquaculture, and hydroponics, into one hybrid system. Aquaculture is the production of aquatic plants and animals in a controlled environment. At the same time, hydroponics is the production of plants in soil-less cultures, such as a substrate of an aqueous medium with bare roots. Two types of agricultural produce are obtained from aquaculture, namely, fish and plants, which are obtained sustainably. Water efficiency, low wastage, high yield, improved production quality, and economical production are some of the advantages of aquaponics systems.

The aquaponics system does not require applying chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which means the fish, vegetables, and fruits produced are completely organic. The increasing demand for organic food across the globe, especially in developed European nations and the United States, is expected to be one of the key drivers in the growth of the aquaponics industry. Adopting aquaponics enables effective optimization of resources as it utilizes 95% lesser water and 90% lesser area than traditional farming techniques. With the ever-increasing demand for food and the limitation of the available water and land resources adoption of aquaponics systems can be highly beneficial.

The demand for aquaponics equipment and components is growing from backyard growers/hobbyists, given the self-sufficient nature of the system. Aquaponics systems are being increasingly deployed for humanitarian and food security interventions. Non-governmental organizations in several developing nations such as Barbados, Botswana, Brazil, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Ghana, Haiti, Jamaica, India, Mexico, Malaysia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Thailand, Panama, and Zimbabwe are installing aquaponics systems in urban and peri-urban areas as a part of urban food security and nutrition programs. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has piloted small-scale aquaponics systems in Gaza Strip and West Bank for food and nutrition security.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the supply chain of the aquaponics industry. The supply of aquaponics equipment and component was disrupted due to the global supply chain disruptions and the closure of the borders. However, the pandemic has shifted the focus towards alternative farming techniques such as aquaponics. Urban farming has garnered attention, and aquaponics systems are now being installed in supermarkets for direct distribution, and urban warehouses are being converted to indoor farms to supply fresh produce to local markets.
