Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Cloud Seeding Equipment Market size was over USD 389.66 million in 2024 and is poised to exceed USD 927.68 million by 2037, growing at over 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of cloud seeding equipment is estimated at USD 433.87 million.

The growth of the market is primarily attributed to the worldwide increasing risk of water scarcity. For instance, for at least a month, nearly two-thirds of the world's population confronts severe scarcity of water. Furthermore, by 2030, nearly 710 million people are estimated to be relocated caused by severe water scarcity.

Cloud seeding is a weather modification process which involves dropping of chemical agents into clouds to cause rain. Cloud seeding equipment is utilized to distribute a substance into the atmosphere in order to boost the chances of precipitation. Silver iodide, dry ice and even common table salt are key chemical agents that are seeded into upper part of clouds.  This process stimulates the precipitation process and form rain. Governments’ increasing initiatives for promoting cloud seeding in those area which have been facing water scarcity is a major factor to drive the growth of the global cloud seeding equipment market. For instance, Saudi Arabia has initiated a cloud seeding program, with the first batch of flights over Riyadh, Qassim, and Hail. This cloud-seeding program targets to increase rainfall in the country, which is currently average nearly less than 100 millimeters per year.

Cloud Seeding Equipment Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

  • Surge in Global Warming - Global warming is the gradual expansion in global temperature resulting from the greenhouse effect caused by elevated levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants. As a result, rising temperature on earth is causing longer and hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, and hurricanes. People face food and water scarcity, increased flooding, extreme heat, elevated disease, and economic damage as a result of global warming. As per the data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information, the global surface temperature deviation for August 2022 was 0.90°C (1.62°F) above the average for the 20th century of 15.6°C (60.1°F), making it the sixth largest deviation for August in the 143-year record. All 10 of the hottest Augusts on record have taken place since 2009. Additionally, August 2022 was the 46th sequential August and the 452nd consecutive month with temperatures of record-warm August, which covered approximately 8.2% of the world's surface — the third-highest ratio for record-high August temperatures.
  • Worldwide Escalation in Air Pollution - As per the data from the World Bank, rising level of pollution is responsible for over 11 million premature deaths worldwide.
  • Increasing Trend of Weather Modification – As per a report, China conducted a weather-modification project in 2020 to produce artificial snowfall or rain over an area larger than 5.5 million square kilometers.
  • Upsurge in Global Population - According to United Nations statistics, the global population is expected to reach 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050.
  • Worldwide Boost in Research and Development Investment - The Unesco Institute for Statistics reports that, with an average annual growth rate of 4.7% over the past ten years, the global R&D expenditure has significantly soared. Globally, from 1.61% in 2010 to 1.93% in 2020, the percentage of global investment in research and development has climbed dramatically.

Challenges

  • High Cost of Cloud Seeding Services
  • Lack of Effectiveness of Cloud Seeding Process
  • Risks of Adverse Effects Associated with Chemicals Used in the Process
