It is estimated that lettuce accounted for more than 32.9% of the global market share of hydroponic vegetables in 2017. The cultivation of Hydroponic Lettuce is increasing due to the increasing demand of families and fast-food chains throughout North America.

In 2018, the market share of Tomato in the global market exceeded 30%, and became the largest hydroponic crop in the world, because planting is faster and requires less water than conventional planting.

Indoor farmers use rock wool, perlite or coconut shell as growth materials for tomato hydroponic cultivation. It is estimated that by 2025, Europe and the Asia Pacific region will cultivate the largest number of tomatoes through hydroponic methods.
