Aquaponics stands for raising aquatic plants and aquatic animals together in a symbiotic environment. It is a sustainable form of farming plants and fish together in a beneficial way. Fish waste contains a lot of nitrates and ammonia which are beneficial for the plant. Nitrates and ammonia are good fertilizers for the plant. But nitrates and ammonia are harmful to fishes if it remains in water in large quantity. Plants in aquaponics can consume all the nitrates and ammonia and purify the water.

Growing population and increasing demand for food are expected to impact positively the global aquaponics market. Moreover growing demand for vegetables and organic fruits is expected to drive the demand for aquaponics in near future. Improvement in the adoption of new urban farming methods and demand for off-season availability of fruits & vegetables is expected to fuel the market growth over the years to come. In addition, low cost of production, time, lower transportation & storage cost of food and higher margins are other beneficial factors for the aquaponics market growth. However, high price of initial system setup & installation and unavailability of skilled labor required for aquaponics is expected to hinder the market growth within the forecast period. Nonetheless, technological advancement in farming and innovative steps towards environmental sustainability offer a vast opportunity for the industry participants in aquaponics market.
