Report Overview
Global Weather Modification Market Size – Industry Trends & Forecast Report 2027
The global weather modification market is estimated to have reached USD 152.3 million in 2020 and is further projected to post USD 290.5 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% during 2021-2027 (forecast period). The global weather modification market is expected to grow at a significant pace in the future. Several factors such as falling precipitation rate, increasing threat of water scarcity are likely to be the dynamic factors behind the growth of the market in the future. Further, growth in a number of weather modification projects opens up a wealth of opportunities for the weather modification market to expand significantly in the future. The growth can be attributed to a decline in rainfall rate across the globe due to global warming and pollution.

Global Weather Modification Market Overview:
Cloud seeding is a weather-modification process that involves
dropping chemical agents into clouds to cause rain. Silver iodide, dry ice, and
even common table salt are key chemical agents that are seeded into the upper
part of clouds.
This process stimulates the precipitation process and forms
rain. It is a process to alter the weather conditions that comprises injecting
clouds with chemical agents to modify the climate to our will. This is mainly
done by diffusing substances that affect the microphysical processes within the
cloud. These ‘substances’ are either serve as cloud condensation nuclei or ice
nuclei that are generally used for increasing the precipitation, or fog and
hail suppression.
Global Weather Modification Market
Forecast and Trends
Growth Drivers
Decline in rainfall rate across the
globe
A decline in rainfall rate across the globe due to global
warming and pollution is increasing the risk of drought conditions globally.
This factor is anticipated to positively impact the growth of the global cloud
seeding equipment market. The rising use of cloud seeding systems in dispersing
fog and mitigate hail damage across the globe has led to strong demand for
cloud seeding operations. Further, this demand is expected to robust the demand
for the cloud seeding equipment market shortly. Moreover, the declining figure
of crops due to scarcity of water is expected to create many opportunities for
the cloud seeding equipment market to grow and diversify all across the globe.
Rising pollution and an increase in
global warming
Rising pollution and an increase in global warming are major
reasons which are responsible for the decrease in precipitation rate across all
regions. Increasing adoption of cloud seeding technology due to its advantages
such as weather regulation and to curb pollution is also anticipated to drive
the growth of the global cloud seeding equipment market. Government initiatives
such as increasing the adoption of cloud seeding technologies to enhance the
water level in different countries such as India is anticipated to propel the
demand for cloud seeding equipment in upcoming years. Moreover, governments in
countries such as India, UAE, and China are spending significantly on cloud
seeding activities.
Restraints
Silver iodide is toxic to aquatic
life
Silver iodide, the material used in cloud seeding, is toxic to
aquatic life. So precipitation from seeded clouds can harm the environment. In
response to these concerns, scientists have tested non-toxic replacements for
silver iodide. They have found calcium chloride to be effective. The silver ion
is among the most toxic of heavy metal ions, particularly to microorganisms and
to fish. The ease with which Ag forms insoluble compounds, however, reduces its
importance as an environmental contaminant. Ag is not likely to concentrate on
harmful levels through either terrestrial or aquatic food chains.
Impact of COVID-19 in the industry
The COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has
spread to almost 100 countries around the globe with the world health
organization declaring it a public health emergency. COVID-19 is affecting the
global economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand,
by creating supply chain and market disruption, and by its financial impact on
firms and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought effects on
many aspects, like flight cancellations; travel bans and quarantines;
restaurants closed; all indoor events restricted; over forty countries state of
emergency declared; massive slowing of the supply chain; stock market
volatility; falling business confidence, growing panic among the population,
and uncertainty about future.
Global Weather Modification Market: By
Mode of Seeding
By mode of seeding, the global weather modification market is segmented into aerial cloud seeding equipment and ground-based cloud seeding equipment. Aerial cloud seeding equipment has dominated the market due to its effectiveness and the ease of covering large areas in a short period. Another reason why users prefer aerial cloud seeding equipment is due to its cost-effectiveness of this process as compared to ground-based cloud seeding, per 1000 liters produced. However, the ground-based cloud seeding equipment is also expected to grow in the forecast period primarily from developing countries. For instance, Chinese the government aims to use ground-based cloud seeding equipment in the hopes of regulating the natural water supply in China.

Global Weather ModificationMarket:
By Application
By Application, the market is segmented into seeding for fog
dissipation, snowfall and rainfall augmentation, hail suppression, and others.
Owing to the rarity of occurrences in events such as hailstorms, the need for
weather modification to prevent such events is also minimal. Therefore, the
dominant segment in this market is Snowfall and Rainfall Augmentation. Various
countries have used this technique several times in areas where they are facing
severe droughts. Fog dissipation, on the other hand, is also expected to grow
during the forecast period due to growing businesses in various cities,
especially in developing countries, which means an increase in the
infrastructural conditions and therefore an increased number of airports.

Regional insights
The global Weather Modification market is segmented into five
regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and
Middle East & Africa. The global weather modification Market is projected
to be concentrated in the APAC region, with China leading the world in terms of
market share. China has been spending extensively on weather modification to
achieve maximum independence from unpredictable rains and make its water
supply. This is a part of its efforts to make its own ‘Tianhe’ or Sky River
which is expected to cover 1.6 million sq. kilometers. Weather modification
programs are underway in India, as well, with the states of Andhra Pradesh,
Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra.

Recent Development
- On 4th December
2020: China to expand weather modification program to cover an area larger
than India. China will develop the weather modification system by 2025, thanks
to breakthroughs in research as well as improvements in comprehensive
prevention against safety risks. In the next five years, the total area
covered by artificial rain or snowfall will reach 5.5 million sq km, while
over 580,000 sq km will be covered by hail suppression technologies.
- In 4th May 2020:
The Snowy Hydro 2.0 project is a step closer to going ahead after being
approved by the New South Wales government, less than a month after it
topped a list of 24 infrastructure projects the government wanted
fast-tracked as part of its Covid-19 economic response.
