The global hydroponics market, valued at $12.64 billion in 2023, is witnessing significant growth with a projected CAGR of 13.7% from 2023 to 2033, anticipated to reach $45.66 billion by 2033. This growth is propelled by the increasing global population and mounting demand for agricultural products. Hydroponics, a method of soilless agriculture, is particularly relevant for urban agriculture and offers benefits such as higher yields and reduced water usage. Despite its promise, the market is fragmented, with numerous startups entering the space. However, the high costs linked to energy and technological investments render the development of hydroponic ventures challenging, as evidenced by the recent bankruptcy of multiple urban farming startups. The demand for hydroponically grown produce is also rising due to their perceived nutritional benefits. The sector encompasses various technologies like aeroponics and aquaponics, and offers potential in cultivating certain vegetables, fruits, and herbs, with limitations for products that require soil. The market remains dynamic and is characterized by the participation of diverse players, including major food and cosmetics companies entering into partnerships and making investments.
French Appetite for Fresh Produce: A Fluctuating Trend with Stable Commitment
Amidst the bustling markets of France, a nuanced landscape of fruit and vegetable consumption is observed. While the French maintain a steady allegiance to fresh produce, the demand has seen a tidal shift, as household purchases for home consumption have swayed. Following an exceptional surge in 2020, with a rise of about 7%, the year 2021 marked a downturn, with consumption volumes dipping by roughly 4%. Despite this retracement, the expenditures only receded slightly, by nearly 3%, buffered by an average price increase of about 1.3%. The French have invariably shown a preference for fresh fruits and vegetables, albeit the quantities they escort home have ebbed and flowed.
The nation witnessed households buying between 80 and 85 kilograms of fruit annually, peaking at around 86 kilograms in 2020 before descending to approximately 81 kilograms in 2021. Vegetables painted a similar picture, with annual purchases per household oscillating between 80 and 89 kilograms, cresting in 2020, and relaxing to about 86 kilograms in 2021. The financial commitment to fresh produce has been relatively steadfast, with households devoting considerable euro amounts each year to ensure their baskets brim with nature's bounty. This tangible dedication to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is an enduring aspect of French culinary culture, even as the market shows sensitivity to broader economic trends and shifts in consumer behavior.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Hydroponics refers to the activity of growing plants "above ground" on a base of "neutral" and "inert" substrate (clay balls, rockwool, etc.). Although in the strict sense of the term, hydroponics refers to a particular form of soilless cultivation, it is often assimilated with all soilless farming techniques. Variants of hydroponics, such as aeroponics, aquaponics and bioponics, have been developing in recent years. The main applications for hydroponics are horticulture and the cultivation of certain types of vegetables and fruit.
Hydroponics offers many advantages in that it provides solutions to the world's water shortages, as well as to the problems of pollution and land erosion. Since it does not require access to land, it also has interesting applications in urban agriculture, as underlined by the rise of vertical urban farms. What's more, hydroponic systems offer higher yields than traditional farming techniques, not least because the right nutrients are delivered directly to the plants' roots. Hydroponics generally does not require the use of artificial ripening agents and pesticides, which can help create nutritionally superior plant products.
Globally, the hydroponics market is fragmented, with many agritech start-ups entering the market, such as AeroFarm (USA) or InFarm (Germany). It is estimated to beworth $12.64 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a compound growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7% between 2023 and 2033, reaching a value of $45.66 billion in 2033 [Future Market Insights] . This growth is driven by the world's growing population, which is spearheading demand for agricultural and food products on the market.
In France, some fruit and vegetable growers see this as an opportunity: 90% of tomatoes are said to be produced hydroponically in France today[Franceinfo]. In fact, the trade balance for fruit and vegetables and also horticultural products has always been negative between 2016 and 2021, testifying to France's dependence on them. [France Agrimer]
As the capital cost of hydroponics is high, the crops produced are often sold at higher prices, and until now have tended to targetniche markets. Many hopes are pinned on hydroponics, and some even see it as a technique that could revolutionize tomorrow's agriculture. However, the high cost of hydroponics, particularly energy, is a real brake on the development of certain players. For example, over the past 2 years, many start-ups creating urban farms have gone into receivership, seeing their investors pull out.[Le Monde]
