概要

世界のクラウドシーディング(人工降雨)市場は、予測期間(2024-2031年)にCAGR 6.4%で成長すると予測されます。クラウドシーディングは、雨や雪を降らせる雲の能力を向上させる気象改変技術として特定できます。この技術は、暴風雨を抑制したり、喫水被害地域に雨を降らせるなど、気象現象を制御するためにも使用されます。

水資源需要の増加

水資源に対する需要の増加は、クラウドシーディング市場の重要な促進要因です。水不足や干ばつに直面している地域では、クラウドシーディングは降水量を増やし、水の供給を管理する潜在的な解決策を提供します。人工的な雨を降らせ、干ばつに見舞われた地域の水位を維持するためのクラウドシーディング技術の利用増加が、クラウドシーディングシステム市場の主な促進要因です。米国では、淡水の主な用途は養殖(3%)、公共供給(12%)、自給産業(5%)、灌漑(32%)、熱電発電(45%)です。気温が上昇し、降水パターンが変化すれば、こうした水需要も増加すると予想されます。インドは世界で最も水不足に陥っている国のひとつであり、世界の水供給量のわずか4%しかなく、18%の人々がそこに住んでいます。近年の急速な経済成長により、エネルギーと水の需要は増加の一途をたどっています。

自然災害の影響を軽減するためのクラウドシーディングの利用拡大

クラウドシーディング技術を使えば、気候変動の悲惨な影響をかなり軽減することができます。塩化ナトリウムやヨウ化銀などの化学物質を雲の苗木に塗布することで、雨雲の降水を促進し、被害総額の見積もりを減らすことができます。人口密集地に向かう非常に重い雪や雨の粒子を含む雲は、森林環境にクラウドシーディングすることができます。クラウドシーディングによって、災害や雲の降水量を確実に減らすことができます。

吸湿性シーディングが最大セグメントになると予測される

シーディング技術に基づき、世界のクラウドシーディング市場は吸湿性シーディングと氷河性シーディングに細分化されます。このうち、吸湿性のサブセグメントが市場の最大シェアを占めると予想されます。この技術の使用により、塩化カルシウムや塩のような物質が大気中に放出されます。雲の形成や降雨は、最終的にこれらの物質が周囲の空気から水分を吸い上げる能力によって引き起こされます。この方法は、湿度の高い地域でより効果的です。年間平均降水量が120mmに満たないUAEでは、それを補うため、過去20年間、航空機を使った吸湿性シーディングプログラムが実施されてきました。

航空クラウドシーディングサブセグメントがかなりの市場シェアを占める

クラウドシーディングは主に航空機を使って行われ、雲が観測できる特定の高度で、カリウムやヨウ化銀などの物質を大気中に放出します。世界中の国々がさまざまな理由で航空クラウドシーディングを利用していますが、世界的に干ばつの被害が最も深刻な地域の多くで、その実践が拡大しています。2021年3月以来、UAEは雲に電荷を発射する航空ドローンの使用を実験しています。2020年だけで200回近くの試験が行われ、すでにクラウドシーディング研究で広範囲に塩を使用していました。しかし、2021年には、ドローンが特定の雲に照準を合わせ、レーザービームで「ザッピング」し、電荷をクラウドシーディング物質と同じように利用するという、侵襲性の低い集中的なアプローチを新たに開始しました。クラウドシーディングに使用される一般的な航空機には、固定翼機、無人航空機(ドローン)、ターボプロップ機、ヘリコプターなどがあります。

地域別展望

世界のクラウドシーディング市場は、北米(米国、カナダ)、欧州(英国、イタリア、スペイン、ドイツ、フランス、その他欧州地域)、アジア太平洋地域(インド、中国、日本、韓国、その他アジア地域)、世界のその他の地域(中東とアフリカ、ラテンアメリカ)を含む地域別にさらに区分されます。

アジア太平洋地域が最も速い速度で拡大する

アジア太平洋地域は、中国、インド、タイなどの国々によるクラウドシーディングプログラムの増加や、商用アプリケーションの需要の増加により、最も速い速度で拡大します。例えば、2023年6月、インド工科大学カンプル校(IIT-K)は、広大なキャンパス内の限られたエリアでクラウドシーディングによる人工雨のテストに成功しました。研究所の飛行場から離陸したジェット機が5,000フィート上空から粉末を噴射し、厚い雲が激しい雨を降らせた。ウッタル・プラデーシュ州(UP州)政府は、UP州の乾燥したブンデルカンド地方に人工雨を降らせるため、この最高峰の研究所にこの技術を求めていました。

北米が主要市場シェアを占める

すべての地域の中で、北米が大きなシェアを占めているのは、気象改変への注目の高まり、最新技術のイントロダクション、研究開発への支出の増加、通信・監視目的でのクラウドシーディングの利用によるものです。例えば、2023年3月、南ネバダ州水資源公社(The Southern Nevada Water Authority)は、米国開墾局(Bureau of Reclamation)から240万米ドルの助成金を受け、乾燥した砂漠地帯を潤す河川を持つ西部の他の州でクラウドシーディングの資金を調達しました。コロラド川の貯水池が記録的な低水準に達し、西部の町や産業が成長する中、供給量の減少に対応するために水需要を減らすことができない状況での資金調達です。

クラウドシーディングのような技術は、このような悲惨な影響を大幅に軽減することができます。いつ?クラウドシーディングに使用される塩化ナトリウムやヨウ化銀などの化学物質は、壊滅的な雲の形成を早め、予測される被害全体を軽減することができます。2023年に米国で確認された気候災害は28件で、その被害額はそれぞれ10億米ドルを超えます。その内訳は、干ばつ1件、洪水4件、その他の自然災害です。雹のような気候災害は、特に強風を伴ったり、雹の衝撃に耐えるように設計されていない屋根材に当たったりした場合に被害を引き起こす可能性があります。クラウドシーディングは、地上に到達する可能性のある大きなサイズのひょうを、地上に到達する前に暖めることで、小さなひょうや雨に変えるプロセスです。この小さな雹や雨は物的損害を与えることはなく、大きな損害は回避されます。NOAAの国立気象局暴風雨予測センターによると、2023年には6,962件の雹事象が発生したのに対し、2022年には4,436件でした。2023年はテキサス州、ネブラスカ州の雹発生件数が最も多かった。

Global Cloud Seeding Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Aerial Cloud Seeding and Ground Based Cloud Seeding), by Seeding Technique (Hygroscopic and Glaciogenic), and by Application (Increasing Precipitation, Mitigating Hail Damage and Dispersing Fog) and by Flare (End Burning Flares, Ejection Flares, Automatic and Remote Based Generator, Manual Generator and Flare Trees) Forecast Period (2024-2031)

Global cloud seeding market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2024-2031). Cloud seeding can be identified as weather modification technique that improves a cloud's ability to produce rain or snow. This technique is also used to control weather events such as suppressing storms or causing rain in draught effected areas.

Market Dynamics

The increasing demand for water resources

The increasing demand for water resources is a significant driver for the cloud seeding market. In regions facing water scarcity or drought conditions, cloud seeding offers a potential solution to enhance precipitation and manage water supplies. Increase in the use of cloud seeding technologies to create artificial rain and keep the level of water in drought-stricken areas, is the key driver of the cloud seeding system market. In the US, the main uses of fresh water are aquaculture (3%), public supply (12%), self-supplied industry (5%), irrigation (32%), and thermoelectric power (45%). It is anticipated that as temperatures rise and precipitation patterns alter, so will these water needs. India is among the most water-stressed countries in the across the globe, with only 4% of the world's water supply and 18% of its people living there. And India's rapid economic ascent in recent years has only increased demand for both energy and water, putting these interconnected resources under increasing pressure.

Increasing Cloud Seeding Use to Reduce the Impact of Natural Disasters

With cloud seeding technology, the disastrous effects of climate change can be considerably mitigated. Chemicals such as sodium chloride and silver iodide can be applied to cloud seedlings to accelerate rain cloud precipitation and reduce total damage estimates. A cloud containing extremely heavy snow or rain particles that is headed toward populated areas may be seeded in a forest environment. Cloud seeding make sure that calamities and cloud precipitation can be reduced.

Market Segmentation

Our in-depth analysis of the global cloud seeding market includes the following segments by type, product, and technology:

  • Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into aerial cloud seeding and ground based cloud seeding.
  • Based on seeding technique, the market is bifurcated into hygroscopic and glaciogenic.
  • Based on technology, the market is augmented into increasing precipitation, mitigating hail damage and dispersing fog
  • Based on flare, the market is augmented into end burning flares, ejection flares, automatic and remote based generator, manual generator and flare trees

Hygroscopic Seeding is Projected to Emerge as the Largest Segment

Based on the seeding technique, the global cloud seeding market is sub-segmented into into hygroscopic and glaciogenic. Among these, the hygroscopic sub-segment is expected to hold the largest share of the market. Through the use of this technique, substances such as calcium chloride or salt are released into the atmosphere. Cloud formation and rainfall are ultimately caused by these materials' ability to draw moisture from the surrounding air. This method is more effective in areas with high humidity. In order to offset its average yearly rainfall of less than 120 mm, the UAE has been operating an aircraft-based hygroscopic seeding programme for the past two decades.

Ariel Cloud Seeding Sub-segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share

Cloud seeding is primarily carried out using aircraft that release substances, such as potassium or silver iodide into the atmosphere at particular altitudes where clouds can be observed. Nations all over the globe have been using aerial cloud seeding for various reasons, but it's a growing practice in many of the hardest-hit drought regions globally. Since March 2021, the UAE has been experimenting with the use of aerial drones which fire electric charges into clouds. With almost 200 trials in 2020 alone, they had already used salt extensively in cloud seeding research. However, they started a new, less invasive, and intensive approach in 2021 with drones targeting particular clouds and "zap" them with laser beams, using the electric charges in the same way as cloud seeding substances. Some common types of aircraft used for cloud seeding includes fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), turboprop aircraft, helicopters among others.

Regional Outlook

The global cloud seeding market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).

Asia-Pacific to expand at the quickest rate

Asia Pacific area to expand at the quickest rate owing to the rising cloud seeding programs from countries such as China, India, and Thailand and increasing demand for commercial applications drive the growth of the market. For instance, in June 2023, The Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) successfully conducted a test for artificial rain via cloud-seeding over a limited area on the sprawling campus. Thick clouds caused heavy rain as the jet, taking off from the institute's airfield, shot powder spray at 5,000 feet in the air. The Uttar Pradesh (UP) government had turned to the premier institute for this technology to help UP's parched Bundelkhand region with artificial rains.

North America Holds Major Market Share

Among all the regions, North America holds a significant share owing to the an increasing focus on weather modification, introduction of latest technologies, increasing expenditure on R&D, and use of cloud seeding for communication and surveillance purpose. For instance, in March 2023, The Southern Nevada Water Authority accepted a $2.4 million grant from the US Bureau of Reclamation to fund cloud seeding in other Western states whose rivers feed the parched desert region. The financing comes at a time when Colorado River reservoirs have reached record lows and growing Western towns and industry are unable to reduce their water demand in response to dwindling supplies.

Technologies such as cloud seeding can significantly lessen the disastrous effects. When . Chemicals such as sodium chloride and silver iodide used in cloud seeding can speed up the formation of catastrophic clouds and reduce the overall projected damage. There were 28 confirmed climate disaster incidents in 2023 with losses exceeding $1 billion each to affect the US. These events included 1 drought, 4 flooding and other natural disasters. Climate disaster events such as Hail storm can cause damage, especially when accompanied by strong winds or when striking roofing materials that were not engineered to withstand hail impact. Cloud seeding, process turns bigger size hail that could reach ground into smaller hailstones or rain as it warms before reaching the ground. This small hail or rain does not damage property, and significant losses are averted. According to NOAA's National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center 6,962 hail events occured in 2023 compared to 4,436 in 2022. Texas, and Nebraska had the largest number of hail events in 2023.
