According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The Australia Hydroponics Market Size Is Anticipated To Reach USD 1372.9 Million By 2035, Growing At A CAGR Of 10.42% From 2025 To 2035. The hydroponics market in Australia is driven by rising demand for pesticide-free, high-yield crops, water-efficient farming techniques, the growth of urban agriculture, technological developments in controlled-environment agriculture, and a growing emphasis on sustainable food production.

Market Overview

The Australia hydroponics market refers to the cultivation of plants without soil through the use of nutrient water solutions in controlled environments which include greenhouses and indoor farms. This method enables precise control over nutrients, water, and climate conditions to maximize crop yield and quality. The system supports sustainable food production methods through its applications in commercial vegetable production which includes lettuce and tomatoes and herbs and its use in fruit cultivation and research facilities and urban farming and home gardening.

The Australian government supports hydroponics through the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program which provides funding of AUD 302.1 million to support sustainable farming methods and water-efficient agricultural practices. The budget allocates approximately AUD 45 million to support innovation projects which include advanced controlled-environment agriculture. The National Landcare Smart Farms program has dedicated approximately AUD 136 million to resource efficiency improvements which create indirect advantages for hydroponic growers throughout Australia.

The Queensland-based company Stacked Farm obtained USD 150 million funding in January 2025 to develop automated vertical hydroponics throughout Melbourne which will increase urban agricultural production. SuniTAFE SMART Farm received USD 3.9 million for hydroponics training. The microgreen system Aquatree launched in June 2025 to meet the demand from both residential and urban areas. The upcoming possibilities involve artificial intelligence-based systems combined with renewable energy systems and increased development of local manufacturing networks.

Driving Factors

The hydroponics market in Australia is driven by the rising demands for year-round high-quality fresh produce and increasing worries about water shortages and climate changes. Commercial growers find hydroponic systems attractive because these systems deliver better crop yields and they use water resources more effectively while needing reduced amounts of pesticides. The market experiences rapid expansion because of rising urban populations together with the growth of controlled-environment agriculture and the development of automation and artificial intelligence technologies and government efforts to promote sustainable agricultural methods.

Restraining Factors

The hydroponics market in Australia is mostly constrained by the high initial setup expenses, high energy requirements, advanced technical demands and its necessity for expert personnel. The agricultural sector faces two main challenges which are limited knowledge about hydroponics among traditional farmers and the system's susceptibility to power outages.

Market Segmentation

The Australia hydroponics market share is classified into type and equipment.

• The aggregate hydroponic system segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Australia hydroponics market is segmented by type into aggregate hydroponic system, and liquid hydroponic system. Among these, the aggregate hydroponic system segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. By using inert growth material like rockwool, perlite, or coco coir, this technique improves root support and moisture retention. Because of its stability, ease of fertilizer control, and suitability for crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and capsicums, it is commonly used in commercial greenhouse production and generates a larger revenue share than liquid systems.

• The LED grow light segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. 

The Australia hydroponics market is segmented by equipment into HVAC, LED grow light, irrigation systems, material handling, control systems, and others. Among these, the LED grow light segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. In controlled-environment agriculture, LED lighting is crucial because it allows for year-round crop production with light spectra that are ideal for plant growth. It is extensively used in commercial greenhouses and vertical farms due to its energy efficiency, longer lifespan, and capacity to improve crop quality and output. Strong growth in this market is also driven by emerging trends in automation and indoor farming.
