The global soil conditioners market size is projected to reach USD 7.9 billion by 2025, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The declining soil quality due to natural calamities and increased industrialization is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.
Natural or organic products dominated the consumption of these conditioners globally. Increasing awareness about organic farming has led to an increase in demand for natural conditioners. The rising trend of consuming organic fresh food has shifted the inclination of farmers toward natural conditioners. Cereals and grains also require soil with rich moisture content at the time of sowing, thus, demanding appropriate conditioners.
Farmers, who are the end users of conditioners for soil, belong to low-income group. This factor majorly contributes to the market being price-sensitive. Moreover, prices of the product are highly controlled by manufacturers and may experience minor inflations or deflations due to constant demand and fluctuating raw material availability.
Central & South America market is anticipated to witness moderate growth rate over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the presence of extremely fertile lands in some parts of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Chile, as these lands require less amount of conditioners. A majority area of Central & South America region has a tropical climate, suitable for growing a variety of fruits such as papaya, pineapple, avocado, and guava. Cocoa and coffee are the two major cash crops that largely influence the region’s economy. Most of the region’s land is covered with clay soil, which is alkaline and has a significant demand for minerals such as sulfur and iron.
