South Korea Aquaponics Market to Grow at a CAGR of 10.50% During 2026-2035, Aided by the Increasing Demand for Nutritious Food

The South Korea aquaponics market growth is driven by rising demand for nutritious food and shifting climatic conditions. This trend underscores the importance of sustainable agriculture practices in response to evolving environmental challenges. Aquaponics, a blend of aquaculture and hydroponics, cultivates crops using organic waste from fish farms. The process involves recycling water between fish and plant systems. Aquaponics-grown produce is noted for its reduced nitrogen content and extended shelf life compared to conventional vegetables. The market is expanding due to growing interest in sustainable agriculture and the demand for organic food.

According to estimates, a 2.5-acre aquaponics farm is anticipated to yield approximately 2,500 pounds of fresh organic greens and vegetables daily, along with about 50 tons of fish annually for consumption. Based on daily consumption estimates of 2 pounds of greens and vegetables and 2 pounds of fresh fish per family of five, the aquaponics farm could provide vegetable nutrition to around 1,200 families daily and fish nutrition to 137 families daily over the course of a year.

The aquaponics market is experiencing growth due to increased health consciousness and demand for organic products, amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Organically produced foods are perceived as healthier and tastier, free from harmful chemicals and fertilisers. These foods have lower nitrate and saturated fat levels and higher omega-3 fatty acids, potentially reducing the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. This shift in consumer perception is driving the adoption of aquaponics in South Korea.

Climate change is driving the growth of the aquaponics market in South Korea, as adverse weather conditions challenge traditional agriculture. Globally, there is a demand for sustainable alternatives like aquaponics to combat soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and air pollution caused by conventional farming practices. The shift towards sustainable agricultural methods is prompted by concerns over groundwater salinization, reduced water availability, and other environmental impacts.
