Compost Market Trends and Forecast

The future of the global compost market looks promising with opportunities in agriculture, home gardening, landscaping, horticulture and construction. The global compost market is expected to reach an estimated $13 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7% from 2023 to 2030. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for organic products and growing awareness regarding disadvantages of chemical fertilizer and pesticides.
Compost Market

Compost is made from a mixture of organic materials in the form of green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) stuffs including food waste, grass cuttings and shredded paper. These substances are decomposed by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi that convert organic matter into humus rich in nutrients. Water is essential to maintain moisture levels for microbial activity. Composting is a natural process which changes organic waste into valuable soil amendment, thus promoting healthier plant growth as well as reducing landfill waste. The price of compost can be variable based on such factors as location, quality and supplier. In general, compost prices are quite competitive compared to other soil amendments and fertilizers. Prices are determined by costs arising from raw material (organic waste) acquisition, processing techniques used in production, or market demand changes. And this is why sometimes it may be more cost effective to use compost than synthetic fertilizers especially in some regions where demand for environmentally friendly practices has increased
• Lucintel forecasts that the agriculture segment will remain the largest segment to increasing demand for organic products and increasing consumer awareness towards food quality The horticulture segment is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period, due to safer, clean, and green food production.
• Yard trimming is expected to remain the largest product type due to its ability to recycle nutrients back into the soil and to reduce yard waste. Lucintel predicts that food waste compost is likely to experience the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing food wastage around the globe and increasing awareness of food composting.
• Asia Pacific is expected to remain the largest market by value, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period because of growth in agriculture, home gardening, landscaping horticulture, and construction industries
