United Kingdom Aquaponics Market Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The United Kingdom Aquaponics Market Size was estimated at USD 60.64 Million in 2024
• The Market Size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of around 10.96% from 2025 to 2035
• The United Kingdom Aquaponics Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 190.45 Million by 2035

According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The United Kingdom Aquaponics Market Size is anticipated to Reach USD 190.45 Million by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 10.96% from 2025 to 2035. The rising demand for organic and sustainable food sources is driving this expansion, as businesses and consumers seek alternatives to conventional agriculture. Government programs that encourage sustainable food production and urban farming further advance aquaponics, particularly in metropolitan settings with limited resources and space.

Market Overview

The United Kingdom Aquaponics Market Size refers to the industry centered around systems that combine aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil) in a symbiotic environment. In these systems, fish waste provides nutrients for plant growth, while the plants help purify the water for the fish, creating a sustainable, closed-loop ecosystem. It is anticipated that the need for aquaponics systems would rise sharply due to the world's population growth and the scarcity of water and land. Furthermore, the superior quality of the yield produced by these systems will increase demand for aquaponics-grown produce over traditional produce. This is due to the aquaponics system's ability to do away with the need for artificial pesticides and fertilizers, and the industry is expected to develop significantly in the upcoming years. Organic produce is in high demand, and the organic movement is predicted to continue to rise in popularity, which will help the industry expand. Further, sustainable farming solutions are becoming more popular as a result of this raised awareness, since aquaponics provides a productive way to grow food while using less water.

Driving Factors

The market for United Kingdom aquaponics is fueled by growing awareness of water-saving techniques, highlighting the advantages of aquaponics systems, which require a lot less water than conventional farming. The market is expanding due to a number of technological developments in aquaponics systems that improve automation and system efficiency. Advanced filtration, real-time monitoring, and IoT integration are examples of innovations that enhance production and resource management. Aquaponics is becoming increasingly popular in both commercial and residential settings due to these innovations, which also make it more affordable and accessible.

Restraining Factors

The important obstacle to aquaponics system adoption is the high initial setup and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the continuous expenditures related to system maintenance, such as replacements and repairs, increase the additional costs, which keep this away from the small and medium market players.

Market Segmentation

The United Kingdom aquaponics market share is classified into type, facility type, and mechanism.

• The equipment segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

The United Kingdom aquaponics market is segmented by type into equipment and component. Among these, the equipment segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. For optimal growth, many fish and plants need different types of light. While some need timely exposure to light for typical growth, others flourish in dark environments. Aquaponics systems can use fluorescent, high-intensity discharge, LED, or induction grow lights. Grow lights guarantee greater crop growth and output while also promoting year-round plant production.

• The building based indoor farms segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period.

The United Kingdom aquaponics market is segmented by facility type into greenhouse, building based indoor farms, and others. Among these, the building based indoor farms segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period. Aquaponics systems are set up in residences, containers, and urban warehouses. It is possible to establish aquaponics systems outdoors as well. Indoor facilities are better than outdoor ones, though, because the former may be managed to prevent crop damage.

• The vertical aquaponics segment held a significant share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period.

The United Kingdom aquaponics market is divided by mechanism into media filled grow beds, deep water culture (DWC), nutrient film technique (NFT), and vertical aquaponics. Among these, the vertical aquaponics segment held a significant share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a rapid pace over the forecast period. The grow beds in vertical aquaponics are layered on top of each other above the rearing tank. It is possible for plants that need less support to grow vertically, including leafy greens and strawberries. The space-efficient vertical aquaponics system is becoming more and more popular in urban settings.
