The global greenhouse soil market was valued at US$ 6,063.8 Million in 2022, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.65% in terms of revenue over the forecast period (2023-2030), and reach US$ 8,726.0 Million by 2030.

Driver:

Increasing application of greenhouse soil in lawn & landscaping, greenhouse, and indoor gardening

Greenhouse soil consists of organic materials, which include composting bark, wood chips, and shredded leaves. The market growth is driven by benefits associated with greenhouse soil ingredients along with increasing application of greenhouse soil in lawn & landscaping, greenhouse, and indoor gardening. Middle East is witnessing an increasing trend of greenhouse farming owing to extreme weather conditions and scarcity of water. Moreover, next-generation agricultural solutions in the Middle East include hydroponics, which is a technique for growing plants and vegetables using perlite, peat, rockwool, and others without soil.

For instance, on February 17, 2023, NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) announces Next Conservation Program Funding Cycle Ending March 17, 2023. Iowa-based farmers in the U.S., interested in implementing new conservation practices on their farms have until March 17 to apply for the next round of Farm Bill program assistance through USDA’s (U.S. Department of Agriculture) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), including first-time funding through the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Iowa.

Use of organic raw materials such as decaying plant materials and microorganisms in greenhouse soil

The use of organic raw materials such as decaying plant materials and microorganisms in greenhouse soil is expected to drive growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, the use of peat, bark, hulls, and coconut coir is increasing demand for these materials among farmers, owing to their decomposing properties. Moreover, effective use of lighting in greenhouse for vertical farming is one of the factors, which is expected to drive the greenhouse soil market growth in forecast period. Usage of lighting in greenhouse maintains balance in temperature and fulfills light requirement of the plants. Therefore, use of efficient LEDs and switching inorganic media components such as perlite, sand, and others with organic raw materials is expected to boost growth of the greenhouse soil market. According to Indian Brand Equity Foundation, In March 2022, Budget 2022, focuses on smart and modern agricultural practices. According to the Prime Minister of India, agricultural loans have surged 2.5 times over the past seven years. These loans will help modernise agriculture significantly and enhance natural farming, with a prime focus on Agri-waste management. Furthermore, under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, US$ 26.4 billion (Rs. 2,00,000 crore) has been disbursed to 11 crore farmers. Also, the government’s efforts towards promoting the use of organic products have driven expansion in the organic products market to US$ 1.5 billion (Rs. 11,000 crore). The government is also providing financial support to Agri-tech startups and promoting the adoption of AI to revolutionise agricultural and farming trends.

Restraint:

Greenhouse farming requires high upfront and operating expenses

Greenhouse farming requires high upfront and operating expenses. It requires careful precautions to eliminate any pest or diseases in order to make sure that consecutive crop production does not get affected There is lack of awareness of soil among farmers, which requires training.

For instance, on February 21, 2023, Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the federal government’s U.S. largest agriculture conservation assistance program for working lands, covering over 200 practices. Producers receive personalized technical assistance at no cost from Technical Service Providers (TSP) and are eligible for financial assistance to implement conservation practices. 

Global Greenhouse Soil Market- Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

Soil health  undermined by the improper disposal of animals culled during global pandemic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, mass culling of animals occurred for two reasons. Market disruptions due to decreased consumer demand, global trade restrictions, and workforce illness and absenteeism created market surpluses. Animals were also culled to prevent the transmission and mutation of the virus through animal vectors.
