Professional Potting Soil Materials Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (All-purpose Potting Soil, Lawn and Garden Soil and Professional Potting Soil), Type (Soil Without Fertilizer and Soil With Fertilizer), Application (Indoor Gardening, Greenhouse, Lawn & Landscaping and Other Applications) and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Professional Potting Soil Market is accounted for $3.2 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.9 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period. Professional potting soil is a specialized kind of soil used for growing plants in containers. It can support healthy plant growth in confined spaces because it contains more nutrients and organic matter than typical garden soil. Additionally, it is pH-neutral, so when used according to instructions, it won't hurt or damage plant roots. The quality and successful production of the plant are significantly influenced by the potting soil. Plant vegetative growth and delayed maturity can be encouraged by potting soil that is rich in nutrients. In addition, using high-quality potting soil can speed up plant emergence. Due to these factors, the demand for potting soil is expected to rise in the coming years.

According to the report by Oxford Economics, in the UK, the landscaping industry and ornamental horticulture have the potential to raise their direct, indirect, and induced contribution to the country’s GDP from USD 37.50 billion in 2019 to USD 50.14 billion in 2030.

Market Dynamics

Driver

Increasing adoption of indoor gardening and corporate landscaping

Demand for premium potting soil is anticipated to increase due to the rising popularity of indoor gardening, home gardening, and corporate landscaping for decorative purposes. Backyard gardens increased as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. People had more time and energy to devote to cultivating indoor gardens as a result of the lockdown and the culture of remote work.

Restraint

Lack of knowledge associated with gardening and farming

Despite a promising outlook for the professional potting soil market, the lack of widespread knowledge about the advantages of potting soil is hindering market expansion. Many consumers choose low-cost, lower-quality potting soil options, which reduce yield and plant health and make plants more vulnerable to pests and diseases. However, as indoor gardening becomes more popular, people are becoming more knowledgeable about potting soils, which will foster the industry's outlook.

Opportunity

Rising popularity of commercial farming

Due to the growing popularity of commercial farming will results in economic expansion. Commercial farmers prefer premium potting soil that contains organic matter, minerals, and other ingredients to promote soil growth. Global commercial farming practices are being fueled by strong efforts to improve food safety and quality, which is driving the demand for professional potting soil.

Threat

Increased use of counterfeit products and stringent regulations

A significant factor impeding the growth of the global premium potting soil market is the low adoption rate of home gardening, greenhouses, and lawn landscaping in many underdeveloped countries, as well as the rise in the use of counterfeit goods. Additionally, the absence of global regulations governing the production and use of premium potting soils is anticipated to impede market growth.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had a conflicting effect on the professional potting soil market. More people staying at home and engaging in gardening as a hobby resulted in a rise in the demand for potting soil. In the meantime, the broken supply chain and scarcity of the raw materials needed to make professional potting soil drove up product prices and had a negative impact on some regions' business expansion. However, growing consumer interest in gardening and horticulture as well as increased consumer awareness is helping the industry advance during this period.

The indoor gardening segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

By accounting for 48.0% of the worldwide market share in 2020, the indoor gardening segment held a commanding position and is anticipated to be dominant during the anticipated timeline. In many developed and developing nations, including the U.S., Canada, Germany, Japan, and India, the cultivation of indoor gardens is being fueled by rising disposable income and a rapidly growing construction industry. This is in turn fueling the growth of the global premium potting soil market.

The all-purpose potting soil segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

All-purpose potting soil is anticipated to witness significant growth in the forecast period. The widespread use of all-purpose potting soil for indoor and outdoor container gardens, potted herbs, and vegetables is driving the market expansion for this product. Moreover, there is a growing demand for professional soil that is suitable for hanging baskets, ornamental plants, garden plants, and houseplants. Additionally, the sale of professional soil is expected to increase due to the growing popularity of ornamental plants and the high profits they generate for growers of such high-value crops.

Region with largest share

Europe held the largest market share, and it is anticipated that it will continue to dominate during the forecast period. With urban gardening becoming a global trend, there is a high demand for urban food production. There is an increase in the number of people starting gardens in urban areas. This is a significant part of city development plans, as seen in Germany. In the future, more people are anticipated to reside in urban and metropolitan areas. Growing consumer awareness of the life cycles of natural resources and their unsustainable exploitation may lead to alterations in consumer behavior that help to protect the environment and slow down climate change, which spurs market expansion in this region.

Region with highest CAGR

Due to the region's significant shift toward organic and sustainable gardening techniques, as well as the expanding trends of urban gardening and cannabis cultivation, particularly in the United States, the North American region is projected to exhibit the highest growth rate over the prediction timeframe. Moreover, supportive government policies are promoting regional development. The Federal Seed Act in the US controls the purity and labeling of seeds, including those used in potting soil, which also increases demand for the product.
