Report Overview

Growing need to significantly lower the amount of freshwater used by agriculture, reduce water stress in many areas, and preserve new arable land by putting salt-affected soils into production to meet the food requirements for a rapidly growing population is driving the APAC Saline Agriculture Market at an impressive high growth rate during the forecast period between 2022 and 2028.

Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2028

Asia-Pacific saline agriculture market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period between 2022 and 2028. Major growth factors for Asia-Pacific saline agriculture market include the increasing need to combat global hunger and meet food requirements for a rapidly growing population. By increasing crop yields, saline agriculture promotes food security in drought-stricken countries. Climate change caused by global warming harms coastal agriculture production. Coastal regions can now cultivate non-salt-sensitive food crops due to saline agriculture. As a result, the increasing adoption of saline agriculture in the countries across APAC is expected to drive the growth of APAC saline agriculture market in the coming years.

Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market – Overview

Saline agriculture refers to the practice of using saline water to irrigate crops grown on salt soils. When salt-sensitive plants are grown on saline soils, they suffer greatly from the effects of saline water. Salt injuries cause burning of leaf margins, stunted growth, wilting, and, in severe cases, death in salt-sensitive plants. Saline agriculture is practiced with the understanding that only plants with the ability to absorb water from saline soils and require nutrients such as sodium, chloride, or sulfate are grown on soil-affected lands. Before beginning agricultural practices on saline soils, diagnostic and measuring tests are performed to determine the levels of salt in the soil and their distribution.

Growth Drivers

Scarcity of fresh water in APAC region

Water scarcity and stress in Asia is becoming a significant social and economic threat, particularly in China and India. Although there are plenty of freshwater resources in China, they are dispersed unevenly and are therefore inaccessible to many parts of the country. Asia has 47% of the world's freshwater per person, but it also has 65% of the world's population. Therefore, if saline water can be used as a resource, it can significantly lower the amount of freshwater used by agriculture and reduce water stress in many areas.

Abundant saline water resources in APAC countries

The amount of water available for agriculture could be doubled if all of the APAC's saline water were used for irrigation. Using salt-tolerant crop varieties and sustainable agricultural and water management techniques, saline agriculture simultaneously reduces the harm caused by salinization. New arable land can be preserved, along with their natural ecosystems and the corresponding biodiversity, if salt-affected soils are put (back) into production.

Restraints

Lack of awareness about saline agriculture

The major limitation is the lack of awareness among agriculturalists in the APAC region. Farmers are unaware of the benefits of utilizing connected agriculture solutions. As they are unaware of the new technology and are unsure of how to use it, the majority of farmers still continue to practice inefficient farming methods. Several precautions need to take in saline agriculture to maintain high crop yield. Not all crops are suitable for saline agriculture. Cotton, alfalfa, cereals, grain sorghum, sugar beets, Bermuda grass, tall wheat grass, and harding grass are among the crops that can tolerate it. As saline soil contains a high concentration of lime and salt and thus does not absorb water, it is not suitable for all crops. Moreover, water may flow from the plant roots back into the soil if the salt level in the soil water is too high. This causes the plant to dehydrate, resulting in a decrease in yield or even death. Crop yield losses may occur even if the effects of salinity are not readily apparent. All these factors may limit the adoption of saline agriculture among farmers in countries across the APAC region.

Impact of COVID-19 on Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market

COVID-19 harmed the food supply chain financially by restricting worker movement, altering consumer demand, closing food production facilities, and restricting food trade policies. In many nations, especially those characterized by periods of peak seasonal labor demand or labor-intensive production, labor shortages for agricultural sectors are a result of restrictions on people's ability to move across borders and lockdowns.

Segmental Coverage

Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market – By Water Source

By water source, APAC saline agriculture market is categorized into Seawater, Brackish Water, Sewage, and other segments. During the forecast period between 2022 and 2028, the seawater source segment is expected to hold the highest market share. The primary factors driving segment growth are rising sea levels, rapid climatic changes, and growing awareness of the benefits of using seawater for saline agriculture.

Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market - By Crop Type

By crop type, APAC saline agriculture market is segmented into High Yielding Halophytes, Oilseeds, Fuel Wood & Timber, and other crops. Halophytes produce high yields of beneficial products. Halophytes are used for a variety of productive purposes, including the restoration of damaged lands, the prevention of desertification, the production of industrial crops and animal feed, as well as the provision of firewood and timber. To contribute significantly to the security of human food and feed as well as the use of desalination concentrates, halophytes can be grown on soils that are too salty for typical crops and pasture, from barely saline to near seawater. Moreover, a potential oilseed crop for irrigation with seawater is Salicornia bigelovii. The forage plant Atriplex lentiformis may be used to recycle brines. Distichlis palmeri is a potential grain crop for paddy-style salt-water irrigation.

Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market - By Technology

By technology, APAC saline agriculture market is divided into Saltwater Aquaponics, Saltwater Hydroponics, Saltwater Greenhouse, and other technologies. Saltwater aquaponics (also known as marine aquaponics) is a combination of plant cultivation and fish rearing (also known as aquaculture), systems that are similar to standard aquaponics except that saltwater is used instead of freshwater. Moreover, a seawater greenhouse is a greenhouse structure that allows crops to grow and fresh water to be produced in arid regions, which account for roughly one-third of the world's land area. This is in response to APAC’s water scarcity, peak water, and salt-infected soil. The system makes use of seawater and solar energy.

Asia-Pacific Saline Agriculture Market - By Country

APAC saline agriculture market covers major countries in the region: China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, and the Rest of the APAC.

Recent Developments

• In August 2022 - The Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and other agencies formed a national agricultural innovation alliance on the comprehensive use of saline soil to promote innovations and utilization of saline soil and explore its potential for agriculture production in China.
