Soil Treatment Market Size
The global soil treatment market size was valued at $44.19 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $60.94 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

Soil Treatment Market Overview
Soil treatment refers to a range of practices and techniques used to improve the quality, fertility, and health of soil for agricultural, horticultural, or environmental purposes. Soil treatment methods are employed to increase the availability of essential nutrients in the soil, making it more conducive for plant growth. This may involve the addition of organic matter, compost, or fertilizers. Common soil treatment methods include soil testing, composting, crop rotation, cover cropping, adding soil conditioners, applying organic matter, and using specific chemicals or amendments. The choice of soil treatment method depends on the specific needs of the soil and the crops or plants being cultivated. Soil treatment is a fundamental practice in agriculture and horticulture to ensure productive and sustainable land use.

Soil Treatment Market Dynamics

  • The soil treatment market is expected to witness significant growth in the future due to the ensuring the food security and the decline in arable land across the globe.
  • Additionally, increasing concern about soil contamination and remediation and rising adequate awareness globally about soil treatment are the prominent factors driving the growth of the soil treatment market demand.
  • However, the technical knowledge barriers and expensive soil treatment techniques are restraining the market growth.
  • On the contrary, investments in R&D and developing novel product portfolios are creating opportunities for market growth.



Impact of COVID-19 on the Soil Treatment Market
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and significant, leading to lower-than-expected demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden increase in the CAGR can be attributed to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Interestingly, the pandemic has inadvertently drawn attention to soil contamination as a consequence. With pollutants like plastics, antibiotics, and disinfectants increasingly polluting the environment, there is now a heightened awareness of this issue. This growing awareness is driving an increased demand for soil treatment chemicals, as both individuals and industries recognize the harmful impact of these pollutants on soil health. Consequently, there is a greater emphasis on adopting soil treatment measures to address and mitigate these effects.

By Application, the Agriculture Segment is projected to be the Largest Segment in the Soil Treatment Market
The agriculture segment is projected to be the largest segment in the Soil Treatment market during the forecast period. The agriculture sector recognizes the critical role of soil treatment in achieving sustainable, productive, and resilient farming practices. The demand for soil treatment in agriculture is expected to continue growing as farmers and agricultural businesses seek ways to optimize their land use and contribute to global food security. Soil treatment can improve soil’s ability to withstand the effects of climate change, such as drought or increased rainfall, ensuring that crops remain viable under changing conditions. With the growing global population and the need for increased food production, soil treatment is seen as a way to make agriculture more efficient and productive.

By Geography, Asia Pacific Region Holds the Dominant Position in the Market Revenue
Asia Pacific holds the dominant position in the market revenue due to the surge in investments within the agricultural sector, particularly in emerging economies. Furthermore, government-led initiatives aimed at enhancing soil quality are expected to be a driving force behind the growth of the soil treatment market in the Asia Pacific region. Rising demands for increased soil fertility and better aeration in these areas are anticipated to be key factors propelling market expansion in the coming years.
