From the point of types, soil conditioners markets around the world can be divided into two categories, natural and synthetic.Natural soil conditioners used as soil repair, in order to reduce production caused by poor soil conditions.This category can be further divided into polysaccharide derivatives, such as animal manure and compost, sewage sludge, crop residues, and organic prosthesis, such as peat and bark.Ease of access of raw materials is the key to promote natural soil conditioners market factors.Synthetic soil conditioner is light color, water solubility and hygroscopicity, including complex long-chain molecules.
From the point of application base, soil conditioning agent can be divided into agricultural and industrial use.Due to the increasing awareness of the soil management practices, in the next few years will increase demand for soil conditioner, crop yields will also increase.In 2016, oilseeds and legume crops is one of the biggest market.
Regulator can be water soluble, soil or water gel.Water soluble polyacrylamide is mainly used for soil stability, while water gel is suitable for the soil to increase its physical, chemical and biological properties.
2016 Asia Pacific market dominance of the market, its market value and quantity accounts for the biggest share of the soil conditioner markets around the world.A large population, agricultural land is widely, underdeveloped areas of agricultural technology widely accepted factors promoted the growth of the market.
Of many countries in Europe, degradation of soil physical, chemical and biological degradation degree did a detailed research.In June 2009, the European Union, according to the European commission decision 2009/427 / EC established organic production technology advisory group of experts (EGTOP), the organization will provide aid of organic agriculture.The group also drafted the council regulation 834/2007 regulation 16 (3) (b) in the template file on fertilizer and soil conditioner.
The main reasons for hindering the development of the market, some farmers have not yet fully understand to regulate the benefits of soil.Market participants are efforts to improve farmers' consciousness will accelerate market growth.
Soil conditioners market participants include basf, dow chemical, akzo Nobel, EvoNik Industries, solvay and big grain, clariant, Lambent, Adeka, Eastman Chemical, etc.The participants take the acquisition, cooperation agreements on investment and expansion, to grasp the market opportunity.
