Soil Conditioners Market Report 2025

The soil conditioners market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.31 billion in 2024 to $6.77 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to economic growth in emerging markets, a decline in the availability of arable land due to industrialization, an increased demand for organic food products, an increasing demand for plant-based food items and increasing concerns about the environment.

The soil conditioners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a rise in demand for agricultural products, a rapid growth of the agriculture and allied sectors and a growing focus on innovative farming techniques. Major trends in the forecast period include launch of fulvic acids soil conditioners for best use of nutrients, focus on advanced soil conditioning packages, technological advancement, launch of organic soil conditioners to improve soil structure and strategic mergers and acquisitions.

The soil conditioners market is projected to experience substantial growth due to an escalating demand for organic food products. These conditioners enhance soil quality by incorporating organic elements among soil particles, thereby improving soil structure, water retention, aeration, and nutrient content. This fortified soil is particularly advantageous for cultivating organic food products. The Organic Trade Association's 2022 survey highlights a shift in consumer behavior towards more consistent purchasing patterns, with organic sales surpassing $63 billion between 2020 and 2021, marking a 2% year-on-year increase, affirming the surge in organic food product demand and its impact on the soil conditioners market.

Anticipated increases in agricultural product demand are set to drive the soil conditioners market in the forthcoming period. As the need for agricultural goods rises, the demand for fertile soil escalates, pivotal for sustaining high agricultural output. Soil conditioners play a critical role in enhancing soil fertility by augmenting aeration, water retention, oxygen penetration, nutrient absorption, and pH regulation. This enhancement in soil quality is instrumental in boosting agricultural production. Reports from the Food and Agriculture Organization indicate significant projected increments in wheat purchases in Africa by 2022-23, rising by 5% from the previous year. Additionally, global rice demand surged by 3% in 2022, with trade volumes forecasted at 53.1 million tons. Harvard Business Review forecasts a staggering 59% to 98% surge in food demand by 2050, further underlining the imminent rise in agricultural product demand, subsequently amplifying the need for soil conditioners.

Major companies in the soil conditioner market are increasingly adopting new technologies, such as online retail, to improve customer accessibility and simplify the purchasing process. Online retail involves selling goods and services via the internet, enabling customers to browse and buy products from various e-commerce platforms. For example, in July 2023, Agromin, a US-based manufacturer of eco-friendly soil products, launched an online retail store. This platform offers a range of products, including Agromin's compost and mulch, which are produced from locally recycled organic waste.

Strategic partnerships have emerged as a prominent trend within the soil conditioner market. Companies operating in this domain are actively engaging in partnerships with relevant entities to harness synergies and extend their reach into novel markets. An illustrative instance occurred in May 2022 when UPL's Natural Plant Protection (NPP) division, a sustainable agriculture solutions provider headquartered in India, formed a strategic alliance with Kimitec's MAAVi Innovation Center (MAAVi IC). The primary objective behind this collaboration is to develop and distribute state-of-the-art BioSolutions products aimed at bolstering optimal plant growth, augmenting crop yields, and elevating crop quality within the United States. Kimitec’s MAAVi Innovation Center (MAAVi IC) stands as a Spanish biotechnology firm dedicated to commercializing biopesticides, biostimulants, prebiotics, and probiotics specifically tailored for agricultural purposes.

Soil conditioners are additives designed to enhance the structural integrity of soil, thereby optimizing its overall health and productivity. These products contribute to improved aeration, increased water retention, enhanced oxygen penetration, and better nutrient absorption, all of which are crucial factors for optimal plant growth. The pH level of the soil is also effectively regulated by soil conditioners. They play a key role in unlocking nutrients that may be trapped in the soil, especially in surface and clay soils.

There are two main categories of soil conditioners such as organic and inorganic. Organic soil conditioners consist of natural materials, such as animal waste, compost from cover crops, and waste sludge. On the other hand, inorganic soil conditioners include materials such as pulverized limestone, slate, gypsum, and glauconite. These substances, whether organic or inorganic, can be used individually or in combinations of synthetic and natural components. Soil conditioners are recognized as essential tools for optimizing soil quality, which, in turn, contributes to increased agricultural productivity. Organic soil conditioners, derived from natural sources, are particularly effective in improving the physical structure and fertility of soil. They facilitate water retention, aeration, and nutrient provision for plants. Both dry and liquid soil conditioners find application across various soil types, including sand, silt, clay, and loam, supporting the cultivation of a wide range of crops such as cereals, grains, oilseeds, pulses, fruits, and vegetables.
