Market Overview:
The global soil water retention agent market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to reach US$ XX Mn by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of X.X%. Soil water retention agents are used for improving the physical and chemical properties of soils. These agents help in increasing the water-holding capacity of soils, which helps in retaining moisture for a longer period and reduces the need for irrigation. They also improve the soil structure, making it less prone to erosion. The demand for these agents is expected to grow owing to their benefits such as improved crop yield, drought resistance, and seedling protection. The global soil water retention agent market has been segmented on the basis of type into polyacrylamide, sodium polyacrylate, and others. Polyacrylamide accounted for a major share of the market in 2017 owing to its high efficiency in retaining moisture content in soils.
Product Definition:
A soil water retention agent is a material that is added to soil in order to improve its ability to retain water. This can be important for plants, as it allows them to access more moisture when needed. Soil water retention agents can also help reduce erosion and runoff.
Polyacrylamide:
Polyacrylamide is a water-soluble polymer, which has the ability to form hydrogels when added to water. It is primarily used as a soil retention agent in the agriculture industry. The global demand for agricultural products and food has been increasing over the past few years on account of growing population leading to increased consumption of animal based foods across the world.
Sodium Polyacrylate:
Sodium polyacrylate is a water-soluble polymer with acrylonitrile and acrylic acid units. It has high molecular weight which gives it excellent soil wetting properties. Sodium polyacrylate is used as an agent for improving the soil water retention property of agricultural soils, to help maintain optimum plant growth conditions by reducing the potential stress on roots caused due to soggy soil conditions.
Application Insights:
Soil improvement was the dominant application segment and accounted for a revenue share of more than 60.0% in 2017. The product is widely used for improving soil water retention and fertility, crop productivity, reducing erosion risk and enhancing plant health. It is also used to remediate soil conditions that are adverse to cultivation such as salinity or acidity.
The breeding & seedling protection segment is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to increasing use of AGENTS in horticulture applications including greenhouse construction, irrigation systems & equipment maintenance etc., across various regions worldwide including Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa countries.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The region’s growth can be attributed to rising population and increasing demand for food production. Asia Pacific has one of the largest agricultural sectors in terms of both output and employment, which makes it a key consumer as well as producer of soil water retention agents globally.
The agriculture sector contributes significantly to economic development in most Asian countries owing to its vital role in providing food security, rural development, and enhancing export earnings through farming activities. These factors are anticipated to drive product demand over the coming years. In addition, rising awareness regarding conservation tillage practices is likely to augment product penetration across emerging economies such as India and China over the next eight years (2016-2021).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of using soil water retention agent among farmers is expected to drive the market growth.
- Rising demand for food owing to population growth is anticipated to boost the demand for soil water retention agent over the forecast period.
- Implementation of stringent regulations by government bodies regarding efficient use of irrigation water is projected to propel the market growth in near future.
- Growing adoption of precision farming techniques across various regions is likely to create new opportunities for market players in coming years .
