Cloud seeding is a weather modification techniques that aims to enhance precipitation by dispersing seeding agents into clouds. It originated in mid-20th century as a response to water scarcity and drought conditions. The process typically involves introducing substances like silver iodide or dry ice into clouds, encouraging the formation of ice crystals and increasing the likelihood of rainfall. Cloud seeding has been used for various purposes. Including agricultural development, water resource management, and mitigation of severe weather events.
Market Dynamics:
The growing global demand for cloud seeding, especially in developing nations, is anticipated to drive growth of the global cloud seeding market over the forecast period. The cloud seeding market is fuelled by various factors, including the growing demand of water resource in regions grappling with water scarcity or drought. Government and organisations are increasingly investing in weather modification program, allocating resource to research, development and implementation of cloud seeding projects. Water stressed regions create opportunities for cloud seeding to secure water resource. Growing agricultural applications, urban water management, and climate change adaption drive market prospects for cloud seeding technology. Cloud seeding market trends include adoption of advanced techniques, integration of remote sensing and weather modelling, emphasis on data analytics and forecasting, and public-private partnerships for funding and implementation.
Cloud seeding market restraints include scientific uncertainty, regulatory challenges, and cost considerations, hindering widespread hindering widespread acceptance and implementation.
