Soil Conditioner Market Overview
The global soil conditioners market reached USD million in 2023 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to USD million by 2031. The market is growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031).
Soil conditioners market is also applied in a few non-agricultural settings, including turfs, commercial, and residential gardening. Different geographical areas have different types and levels of soil. Depending on the type of soil, different soils have different physical qualities like water retention, air permeability, and the ability to absorb nutrients. Additionally, better soil quality raises the nutritional value of food crops. In order to enhance the physical characteristics and fertility of the soil for agricultural produce, soil conditioners are products, either natural or synthetic, that are added during farming.

Soil Conditioner Market Dynamics
The decline in the amount of arable land due to industrialization.
The market for soil conditioners is expanding as a result of the industrialization that has reduced the amount of arable land available. Land that can be used for crop cultivation is referred to as arable land. Crop-growing land is being degraded by factors such as population growth, industrialization, urbanisation, and others. Because infertile land is insufficient for growing crops, soil conditioners are used to enhance the soil's fertility by increasing aeration, water retention, oxygen penetration, nutrient absorption, and pH stability. For instance, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States estimates that in 2020, unsustainable land management practises will cost the world $1 trillion as a result of their effects on land degradation, which affects more than half of all agricultural land annually. The loss of soil services caused by unsustainable land management practises is estimated to cost the world $1 trillion. Soil treatment is being applied to existing arable land in an effort to increase food production. As a result, a decline in the amount of arable land due to industrialization is anticipated to spur the market's expansion for soil conditioners.
However, low soil conditioner adoption rates brought on by people's reluctance to abandon traditional techniques and methods will be a significant obstacle to the market's expansion. The market for soil conditioners will continue to face challenges due to the high cost of inorganic soil conditioners. Synthetic soil conditioner drawbacks will further impede market growth.
Soil Conditioner Market Segmentation Analysis
The global soil conditioners market is segmented based on type, product, solubility, soil type, crop type and region.
Natural conditioners segment holds the highest share in the global soil conditioners market
The market for natural conditioners like compost, animal manure, and sewage sludge is expected to benefit from the increased demand for organic foods on a global scale. The main benefit of using natural or organic conditioners is that they provide essential nutrients to plants gradually over a long period of time. On the demand for natural products, this is anticipated to have a favourable effect.
On the other hand, synthetic conditioners have a high molecular weight and are based on natural polymers. They are employed to improve soil's physical qualities, increase moisture content, and retain vital nutrients. Polymers are used to enhance and stabilise soil structure by stabilising moisture levels. Synthetic products are preferred in areas with high rates of erosion because they have a better ability to increase soil binding and flocculation.
Soil Conditioner Market Geographical Share
Asia-Pacific holds the highest share in the global soil conditioners market
The soil conditioners market in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of XX% over the course of the forecast period and hold YY% of the market share in 2022. The performance of the soil conditioners market in Asia-Pacific has improved as a result of an increase in residential and commercial projects. This is explained by the fact that the soil conditioner industry in China is experiencing rapid growth, which has compelled them to produce high-quality soil amendments. The International Trade Administration estimates that between 2023 and 2030, China's construction industry will expand at an average annual rate of 6.1% due to the country's highest rate of urbanisation. Additionally, nations like India and Japan are seeing the rapid growth of parks and community gardens, where soil conditioners are frequently used to promote plant growth and supply the soil with vital nutrients.
On the other hand, the second-largest market for soil conditioners is in North America. The United States, one of the world's top producers of crops, is distinguished by technological advancements in farming practices and a strong regulatory environment that supports industry dynamics. It is a significant producer of both wheat and maize.
Additionally, due to its lack of rich, healthy, and fertile land and the region's growing population and rising food demand, the Middle East and Africa are focusing on developing their agricultural industry. The region's expansive sandy terrain has sparked a demand for soil conditioners that enhance water retention abilities. In this local market, compost is the most popular soil conditioner. In the developing nations of Africa, it is regarded as one of the most reasonably priced manures.
Soil Conditioner Companies
The major global players in the market include. BASF SE, Solvay S.A., Syngenta AG, Nufarm, AkzoNobel, UPL Limited, Saint-Gobain Group, Omnia Holdings Limited, Sanoway GmbH, Evonik Industries AG, and among others.
Key Developments
- 24 March 2022 International Tunnelling and Space Organization has launched high performance formulated soil conditioners. To ensure the safe advancement and maximum efficiency of the tunnel boring machine, Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) tunnel boring machines require the use of soil conditioners that must be customised to the geology of the surrounding environment (TBM). Master Builders Solutions has created a new biodegradable series of high-performance foaming agents to enhance the performance and control of the soil through the screw conveyor under the most demanding circumstances.
- On 18 February 2019, Platform Specialty Products (US) sold Arysta Life Sciences to UPL (India) for USD 4.2 billion. The company's portfolio of soil conditioners was also purchased by UPL.
- On 6 June 2018, BASF (Germany) launched MasterRoc SLF 50, a soil lubricant that enhances performance by controlling soil during tunnelling operations and difficult soil conditions. Under difficult soil conditions, the soil conditioner lowers friction and assists in boosting the tunnel boring machine's (TBM) advance rate.
