Rise in use of organic soil conditioner in agriculture & gardening applications is driving the market growth
The increase in the use of organic soil conditioner in agriculture and gardening applications is what is fueling the growth of the worldwide soil conditioner market. An organic soil conditioner is a carbon-based substance that contains different concentrations of plant nutrients and feeds the soil with the essential nutrients. Animal manure, worm compost, crop residue, food waste, sewage sludge, and peat moss are a few examples of organic soil conditioners. The ecology of the soil, soil fertility, soil porosity, and soil nutrient uptake are only a few of the sustainable capabilities that the organic soil conditioner provides. The agricultural industry has made extensive use of organic soil conditioners such farmyard manure, green manure, and animal manure. For instance, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) reported in May 2019 that the annual output rate of manure was between 15 and 20 million metric tonnes. In addition, increased soil erosion, land clearing, and deforestation have prompted farmers to rely more on organic soil conditioners to increase yields. Thus, it is projected that each of these factors would contribute to the growth of the worldwide soil conditioner market.
The organic and inorganic components of the earth's surface known as soil serve as the environment for plant growth. To safeguard soil and improve its functionality, soil management is crucial. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) projects that irrigated land will increase by 32.0 million hectares and that harvested irrigated land would increase by 17.0% from 2018 to 2050. These conditions are likely to occur in emerging nations, which is causing the crops' lack of nitrogen delivery. FAO claims that soil erosion might result in a 50% reduction in crop yields. In order to launch an aggressive campaign to advance sustainable soil management, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) Council launched the Soil Partnership (GSP) in December 2012. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was formed by the World Soil Charter under the auspices of the GSP after important policies and scientific advancements over the previous three decades were revised. These focus on recovering deteriorated soil, working towards a world free of land degradation, and putting resilient agricultural practises into practise that gradually raise soil quality and reduce soil contamination.
Additionally, in December 2016, the FAO approved the Voluntary Guidelines for Sustainable Soil Management (VGSSM), which work to reduce soil erosion, increase the amount of organic matter in the soil, promote soil nutrient balance and cycles, lessen soil salinization and alkalinization, and prevent soil acidification. These recommendations also encourage minimising soil sealing, preventing and alleviating soil compaction, preserving and boosting soil biodiversity, and enhancing soil water management. These recommendations show that people are becoming more knowledgeable about good soil management techniques, which is what is anticipated to boost the soil conditioners industry in the near future. Thus, driving the Soil Conditioners Market revenue.
In October 2023, Progressive Planet Solutions Inc., a prominent company specializing in the development of environmentally friendly technology, introduces a novel organic soil enhancer for use on a maximum of 1,355 acres during the upcoming autumn season. CARBON™ Ca is the second exclusive product created by Progressive Planet under the CARBON™ brand, following CARBON™ PK. A total of 61 metric tonnes of CARBON Ca has been marketed in Western Canada for wide-scale use. Progressive Planet has introduced a new soil conditioner for fall applications.
This product is a patented chemical fertilizer substitute that may be used in both spring and fall. It contains CARBON PK for spring applications and CARBON Ca for fall applications. CARBON Ca is a proprietary mixture of organic components that includes calcium, carbon (humin), humic acid, and fulvic acid, which are beneficial for soil health. Calcium is vital for maintaining plant well-being and promoting the production of food with elevated nutritional content. Carbon (humin), humic acid, and fulvic acid are used to enhance the soil's physical characteristics and nutrient accessibility, resulting in enhanced plant production and higher levels of carbon residue. This, in turn, can increase the quantity of carbon stored in soil organic matter.
The Soil Conditioners Market segmentation, based on Type, includes Natural and Synthetic. Natural segment dominated the market in 2022. Compost, animal dung, and sewage sludge are a few examples of natural conditioners whose market use is expected to benefit from the increased demand for organic foods on a scale.
The Soil Conditioners Market segmentation, based on Solubility, includes Water-Soluble and Hydrogels. Water-Soluble segment dominated the Soil Conditioners Market in 2022. Due to their superior performance, water-soluble conditioners are highly favoured over solid granule conditioners.
The Soil Conditioners Market segmentation, based on Application, includes Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, and Others. Cereals & Grains segment dominated the market in 2022. Cereals and grains are grown on a large amount of the world's agricultural area.
