Greenhouse Soil Market Report 2026

The greenhouse soil market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.94 billion in 2025 to $5.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in greenhouse cultivation, increasing use of potting mixes, growth in horticulture industry, early adoption of peat moss blends, expansion of indoor gardening activities.

The greenhouse soil market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.39 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for customized soil substrates, rising adoption of soilless and hydroponic media, increasing focus on sustainable soil amendments, expansion of commercial greenhouse operations, growth in premium crop cultivation methods. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for specialized greenhouse soil blends, rising use of organic and sustainable soil components, growing adoption of soilless substrates for controlled environments, expansion of high-value greenhouse crop production, greater focus on soil formulations for optimal drainage and aeration.

The expanding gardening sector is expected to drive the growth of the greenhouse soil market going forward. The gardening sector includes the cultivation and maintenance of gardens, encompassing the growth of plants, flowers, and vegetables. It involves a variety of activities such as landscaping, lawn care, and horticulture, often requiring specialized tools and materials. Demand for gardening is increasing due to rising interest in home gardening, the growth of urban living, greater awareness, educational programs, and community-based initiatives. Greenhouse soil supports this demand by providing nutrient-rich, well-draining conditions that promote consistent plant growth and health. For example, in November 2024, according to the Royal Horticultural Society, a UK-based gardening charity, UK households spent about $16.43 billion (£13.2 billion) on garden products and $7.23 billion (£5.8 billion) on professional gardening and landscaping services in 2023. Therefore, the expanding gardening sector is fueling the growth of the greenhouse soil market.

Leading companies in the greenhouse soil market are focusing on innovative solutions such as climate-conscious potting mixes and perlite, which enhance aeration and drainage. Climate-conscious potting mixes are designed to minimize environmental impact by using sustainable, eco-friendly ingredients, often incorporating renewable resources and reducing carbon footprints. For instance, in June 2024, Sun Gro Horticulture, a US-based horticulture growing media provider, introduced the Sunshine Black Bear potting mix. This product, aimed at carbon capture and environmental sustainability, features carbon-rich biochar known as Black Bear Biochar, which improves aeration and drainage. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including containers, hanging baskets, and window boxes, promoting sustainability while enhancing plant growth.

In March 2023, Pelemix Ltd., an Israel-based provider of growing media and substrate solutions, acquired Even-Ari Green Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Pelemix Ltd. seeks to reinforce its position in the Israeli growing media market, expand its capacity to serve both hobby and professional growers, and enhance its product portfolio by incorporating Even-Ari Green Ltd.’s expertise and advanced manufacturing technology. Even-Ari Green Ltd. is an Israel-based growing media manufacturer specializing in greenhouse soil production.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on imported soil components such as peat moss, coco coir, perlite, and vermiculite are increasing production costs for greenhouse soil manufacturers, particularly affecting regions reliant on international raw material supplies across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America. Segments such as potting mixes and specialty blends experience higher pricing pressures due to tariff-related supply chain disruptions. However, tariffs also encourage domestic sourcing, promote local production of organic and mineral soil amendments, and stimulate innovation in alternative, cost-efficient greenhouse soil formulations.
