Future Perspective: Key Trends Shaping the Soilless Culture Market Up to 2030

The soilless culture market is rapidly evolving as agricultural methods shift towards more efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced systems. With increasing interest in indoor and urban farming, the sector is set to experience significant growth and innovation. Let's explore the market's size projections, key players, driving factors, emerging trends, and segmentation to better understand its future trajectory.

Projected Expansion and Market Size of the Soilless Culture Market
The soilless culture market is anticipated to grow swiftly over the coming years, reaching a value of $21.64 billion by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9% throughout the forecast period. The expansion is largely fueled by the wider adoption of automated soilless systems, rising demand for high-yield indoor farming, increased investments in vertical farming infrastructure, and the growing application of nutrient monitoring technologies. Additionally, a shift toward sustainable controlled-environment agriculture further supports this upward trend. Key trends shaping the market include growing use of hydroponics and aeroponics to boost crop density, demand for controlled indoor farming setups, expanding use of inert growing media to conserve water, growth in urban and vertical farming projects, and a preference for soilless systems to overcome soil-related challenges.

Leading Corporations Making an Impact in the Soilless Culture Industry
Several prominent companies are driving innovation and growth within the soilless culture market. Key players include AeroFarms LLC, Compagnie de Saint-Gobain SA (via Cultilene), CANNA International BV, Green Sense Farms Holdings Inc, Urban Crop Solutions NV, Hydrofarm Holdings Group Inc, Orbia Advance Corporation SAB de CV (through Netafim), Sky Urban Solutions Holding Pte. Ltd (through Sky Greens), Spread Co Ltd, Mirai Co Ltd, Lufa Farms Inc, Priva BV, LettUs Grow Ltd, Living Greens Farm Inc, Village Farms International, AppHarvest Inc, Advanced Nutrients Holdings LLC, GrowGeneration Corporation, and ROCKWOOL Group (through Grodan), as well as Jiffy Group BV.

Strategic Moves Enhancing Market Presence
A notable expansion occurred in June 2025 when GrowGeneration Corporation, a leading US supplier of hydroponic and organic gardening products, acquired Viagrow for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition gives GrowGeneration access to Viagrow's established big-box retail distribution network and eco-friendly soilless grow-media product lines. The deal significantly broadens GrowGeneration's retail footprint while strengthening its consumer-oriented product portfolio and overall market penetration through an omni-channel approach. Viagrow, based in the US, specializes in soilless culture solutions.

Technological Advances Boosting Soilless Culture Market Growth
Innovation is a major growth driver for soilless culture companies, which are increasingly adopting advanced techniques like vertical surface planting to improve efficiency, maximize space, and enable real-time crop monitoring. Vertical surface planting involves growing plants on engineered upright surfaces where roots receive precise nutrient drips and optimized airflow, allowing for dense cultivation in limited areas. For example, in April 2024, Vertefarm, a US-based indoor hydroponic solutions provider, introduced its Hydroponic Micro Plant Factory. This vertical surface planting system is designed specifically for high-density indoor leafy green production and features root cyclic drip irrigation, ultraviolet (UV) water sanitation, and smart app-based controls via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi. The system enhances space utilization, nutrient and water management, and automation, making it ideal for residential and small commercial soilless setups.
