Market Overview

Potting soil, also known as potting mix, contains a variety of components that provide a healthy environment for potted plants. The goal of these mixtures is to keep the soil from becoming overly compacted, which can suffocate roots and impede the movement of water and nutrients. Premium potting soil is fluffier, lighter in weight, and capable of retaining moisture. Premium potting soils are classified into three types such as all-purpose, lawn and garden, and professional. All-purpose potting soil consists of two parts such as soil, compost, and perlite, sand, or vermiculite. All-purpose potting soil reduces soil-borne diseases, pests, and weeds and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs, and houseplants. There are two types such as soil without fertilizer and soil with fertilizer, which are used in indoor gardening, greenhouses, lawn and landscaping. The growing demand for potting soil for commercial and residential applications in both developed and developing regions is expected to drive the global potting soil market. The growing demand for clean label products, combined with growing companies' focus on entering emerging markets and collaborating with local growers to develop health food products, are expected to increase demand for high-quality potting soil among growers.
