The cloud seeding market involves techniques used to alter the microphysical processes within clouds using various agents to increase the amount of precipitation from the clouds. Cloud seeding is a weather modification process that aims to change the amount or type of precipitation that falls from clouds by dispersing substances into the air that serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei. Common materials used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, dry ice, and liquid propane. Seeding ice-forming particles such as silver iodide allows supercooled cloud droplets to freeze heterogeneously into crystals, which then grow by the Bergeron process and fall as precipitation from winter orographic storm clouds.

The global cloud seeding market is estimated to be valued at US$ 154.37 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.

The growing demand for fresh water resources and management of drought situations is a key factor driving growth of the Cloud Seeding Market Demand The agriculture industry is highly susceptible to variations in rainfall and has witnessed increased adoption of cloud seeding techniques to ensure consistent water supply for crops.Moreover, rapid urbanization has placed significant strain on existing water resources, necessitating alternative water sourcing through weather modification activities.

Globally, countries in Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa are witnessing substantial investments in cloud seeding projects owing to recurrent droughts and a rising population. China has been aggressively focusing on artificial rainfall generation through cloud seeding since the 1960s. Other Asian countries are also adopting cloud seeding, driven by the need for sustainable water management. Countries in these regions are projected to be major contributors of revenue in the global cloud seeding market through 2031.
