The Business Research Company's Soilless Culture Market to Grow at 14% CAGR from 2025-2029
LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "What Is The Soilless Culture Market Size And Growth?
In the past few years, the market size for soilless culture has seen a rapid expansion. It is projected to increase from $9.83 billion in 2024 to $11.24 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The growth experienced in the historic period is largely due to factors such as the rising demand for high-yielding food production, increased incorporation of urban agriculture, a heightened emphasis on cultivation without pesticides, a growth in commercial greenhouse farming, the expansion of the cultivation of high-value crops, and a raised consumer preference for fresh premium produce.
The market size of soilless culture is set for considerable expansion in the coming years, with projections indicating a rise to $19.01 billion by 2029, signifying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.0%. This anticipated growth within the forecast period can be largely credited to increasing investments in controlled environment farming, heightened emphasis on agricultural practices resistant to climate changes, growing requirements for all-year-round crop availability, rise of premium food retail chains advocating for residue-free products, growth of import substitution for fruits and vegetable production, and a rising concentration on farming methods that conserve water. Key trends dictating this forecast period encompass technological progress in fully automated vertical farms, advancements in the optimization for nutrient delivery, innovations in crop monitoring through artificial intelligence, developments in platforms predicting yield based on data, research progress in sustainable substrate formulations and enhancements in unified farm management software.

What Are The Current Leading Growth Drivers For Soilless Culture Market?
The soilless culture market is anticipated to expand due to the growing necessity for sustainable farming. Sustainable farming encompasses agricultural methods specifically structured to conserve the environment, water, and soil resources, in addition to limiting harmful inputs. More stringent environmental norms are contributing to the rise of sustainable farming, urging producers to decrease soil degradation, minimize chemical usage, and embrace cleaner farming techniques to adhere to compliance policies. Soilless culture contributes to sustainable agriculture by facilitating effective resource usage. This is achieved through accurate control of water, nutrients, and growing conditions, lessening soil erosion and chemical runoff, minimizing land prerequisites, and encouraging year-round, high-yielding food production with a reduced environmental footprint and increased resilience to climate alterations. For example, the European Environment Agency (EEA), a Denmark-based European Union environmental authority, reported in October 2025, that organic farming made up 10.8% of all agricultural land in the European Union in 2023. Therefore, the demand for sustainable farming, which is on the rise, is stimulating the growth of the soilless culture market.

What Are The Main Trends, Positively Impacting The Growth Of Soilless Culture Market?
One of the main tactics adopted by leading companies in the soilless culture market involves leveraging new technologies like vertical surface planting. This advanced soilless method helps augment growth efficiency, optimize space usage, and facilitate real-time tracking by allowing plants to be grown on specially designed vertical surfaces. With this technique, plant roots get a controlled supply of nutrients and improved airflow, thus maximizing plant density in limited areas. For example, Vertefarm, an American indoor hydroponic solutions company, introduced its Hydroponic Micro Plant Factory in April 2024. This vertical surface planting-based structure has been tailored for the increased indoor cultivation of leafy greens, equipped with root cyclic drip irrigation, ultraviolet (UV) light for water sanitation, and a smart control app (BLE and Wi-Fi). The Micro Plant Factory enhances space efficiency, optimizes water-nutrient usage, and streamlines growing management, thus accommodating contemporary soilless settings in both residential and small scale commercial settings.
