Soil conditioners refer to soil additives that strengthen the soil's structure. It helps improve the soil condition by boosting aeration, water holding capacity, oxygen penetration, nutrient absorption in the soil, and maintaining the pH level. Soil conditioners unlocks nutrients that have been trapped up in soil surface and clay soils. Organic or inorganic materials, as well as mixtures of synthetic and natural materials, can be used as soil conditioners. Organic soil conditioners contain various components, such as animal waste, compost leftover from cover crops, waste sludge, and others., whereas inorganic soil conditioners include pulverized limestone, slate, gypsum, glauconite, and others. The main types of soil conditioners are gypsum, surfactants, super absorbent polymers, and others (polysaccharide derivatives, bone meal, blood meal, sphagnum moss, and plant extracts). The gypsum soil conditioners refer to the soil conditioners made up of a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. Gypsum works on various soil types with a wide range of pH levels to prevent and treat sodicity, enhance water penetration, faster seed emergence, and increase the stability of soil organic matter. The dry and liquid soil conditioners are used on sand, silt, clay, and loam soil types. The various crops that it supports include cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, and others. The global soil conditioners market is segmented – 1) By Type: Gypsum, Surfactants, Super absorbent polymers, Other Types 2) By Formulation: Dry, Liquid 3) By Soil Type: Sand, Silt, Clay, Loam 4) By Crop Type: Cereals and Grains, Oilseeds and Pulses, Fruits and Vegetables, Other Crop Types The global soil conditioners market size grew from $5.6 billion in 2022 to $5.93 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services, and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of soil conditioners is expected to grow to $8.21 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.5%. A decrease in the availability of arable land due to industrialization is driving the growth of the soil conditioners market. Arable land refers to the land that is suitable for the cultivation of crops. Land degradation, increasing population, industrialization, urbanization, and others consume the land available for growing crops. Crops cannot be grown on land, which is not fertile, hence soil conditioners are used to improve the soil condition by boosting aeration, water holding capacity, oxygen penetration, nutrient absorption in the soil, and maintaining the pH level. For instance, in 2020, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States, land degradation affects more than half of all agricultural land every year, and unsustainable land management practices cost the world an estimated $1 trillion in lost soil services. As a result, existing arable land is under pressure to produce more food by applying soil treatment. Therefore, decrease in the availability of arable land due to industrialization is expected to propel the growth of the soil conditioners market.
