Continuous usage of pesticides and insecticides for increasing yield of crop production results in reduction of nutrient value of soil all over the globe. With growing requirement for continuously testing the nutrient content of a soil and crops are augmenting the demand for soil testing. Further demand for measuring structure of the soil, aeration in the soil, and drainage in the soil to foster the market growth in the coming years.
Soil fertility testing is estimated to account for around 28% of global agricultural testing in 2022. India, United States, China and Brazil to remain prominent market owing to substantial farming land and agricultural production.
Soil fertility testing market grow with a CAGR of 5.8% over the period of 2018 and 2022, whereas per the current estimated demand for soil testing to increase with a CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period. Increase in the growth rate is attributed by degradation of soil nutrition value all over the globe owing to abundant usage of pesticides to increase the productivity.
Nowadays, a key challenge for the farmers is to ensure higher production of crop from limited land area. To gain maximum output with minimum compromise in quality, various testing methods are implemented to understand nutrient level and fertility of soil. Soil testing gives an idea of the current health of the soil and how to improve it with proper nutrition. This also leads to reduce in fertilizer and pesticide expenditure and soil degradation. These factors are playing a crucial role for maximizing the yield, and are expected to have a positive impact on the global soil fertility testing market.
Pandemic crisis had not impacted the market at a greater extent, as production of crops were significant and testing was conducted with minimum delays in the testing and certain cancellation. Thus the market was lightly impacted over the pandemic crisis and a low impact being witnessed in the historical market performance.
North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific region are among the key regions in which the agriculture industry is growing rapidly. Prominent manufacturers are continuously focusing on these regions to capture a significant market share in terms of revenue. Soil testing service providers provide various types of testing services such as chemical, physical, and biological, in these regions.
The presence of an adequate number of key agriculture service providers and the frequent requirement of soil testing services in these regions, are fueling the growth of the soil fertility testing market. Key soil testing service providers firmly believe in acquisitions and expansion strategies to expand their global footprint.
Various emerging economies like India and China are investing in the agricultural industry to maximize crop production. Investing in the improvement of soil health is the only way to increase crop productivity. Significant investments in soil health are frequently supported by strong partnerships across landscapes, value chains, or sectors.
For instance, Global Soil Partnership in Eastern and Southern Africa was organized and funded by FAO to improve crop production and productivity in respective regions. In this way, increasing capital investment in the agricultural industry has created more opportunity for soil fertility testing services.
Most of the times, testing labs where samples are needed to be tested are not located near the place from where samples need to be collected. Once the soil tests are conducted in the laboratories, experts analyses the results and they suggest measures and initiatives need to take to deal with deficiencies which makes the entire process tedious and time consuming.
This exercise needs to be repeated periodically. Handheld soil fertility testing machines or testing kits allow farmers to perform tests on their own, which subsequently saves time. Further, with the help of soil health cards, it is possible to get crop-wise recommendation of fertilizers and nutrients required by individual farms to help farmers improve crop production. These factors can hinder the market growth for global soil fertility testing market.
What is the market growth outlook in India?
India is one of the largest producer and exporter of agricultural and horticultural products. Around 53% of the seventh largest country in terms of area is considered as arable land, where 316 million tons of agricultural product and around 342 million tons of horticulture products being produced in India.
With substantial application of pesticides and fertilizers in India to predominantly produce predominant volume of agricultural and horticulture based products, demand for soil testing significantly increased. India is estimated to create an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 96.3 million in between the forecast period.
Why the Demand of Soil Fertility Testing is Surging in United States?
The growth in the market is attributed to regulations related to nutrient levels in the crop in United States. Excessive application of fertilizer leads to the harmful impact on the crops and environment. To limit this adverse impact, there are various strict regulations have been implemented by government. These will successively have the positive impact on the country soil fertility testing market.
Soil fertility testing market in United States is forecast to reach around US$ 245.0 Mn by the end of the assessment period. Rise in the demand for testing of soil quality and increase in requirement for soil productivity in United States is expected to foster the growth. Further the growing demand for organic fertilizer in the country is also benefiting market growth since the study is needed for improvement of the soil yield.
Which type is gaining traction in the global market?
Chemical type soil testing segment is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of magnitude 6.0% over the period of 2023 and 2033. Chemical type soil fertility testing includes the analysis of the chemical parameters of the soil. These parameters include cation exchange capacity, electrical conductivity, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, soil pH, organic carbon content analysis.
The chemical properties also include mineralogical composition and the content of the type of mineral such as Kaolinite, base saturation, humus and organic matter content. Owing to coverage of wide range of testing demand for chemical testing account for a prominent share in the soil testing market. Further rise in soil nutrition challenges all over the globe to drive the demand for chemical testing during the projected period.
Which is a key application of Soil Fertility Testing?
Soil testing is conducted to measure the structure of soil, chemical fertility of soil, aeration and drainage in soil. Soil aeration segment is expected to remain one of the fastest growing segment witnessing a CAGR of 6.9% in between 2023 and 2033. With advancement in the testing facilities, mapping technology with sensors, soil testing regarding aeration is gaining traction as compare to its counterparts.
The chemical fertility of soil segment is anticipated to hold a prominent of market share in the global market due to increasing need of efficient nutrient management in the crop production. Owing to analysis of various verticals in chemicals fertility of soil testing including phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen, potassium, iron, manganese, and other minerals and nutrients, the segment account for a key market share.
Key players in the industry of soil testing are predominantly focusing on increasing their regional and global presence with setting up of testing facilities in the untapped regions to bolster their revenue growth and profitability. Key players are also focusing on launching of new services and testing facilities to cater the growing requirement of soil fertility testing.
