Compost is a nutrient-rich organic material created through the natural decomposition of organic matter such as food scraps, yard waste and plant materials. This process, facilitated by microorganisms, fungi and worms, breaks down the materials into a dark, crumbly substance that can be used as a natural fertilizer. Compost improves soil health, enhances water retention and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, making it a sustainable solution for waste management and agricultural productivity.
The compost market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders, or partnerships), of compost products used by individuals, agricultural businesses and industries, for addressing soil health improvement, erosion control and organic farming needs.
The global compost market was valued at $6,287.04 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 5.00%.
Strong Economic Growth In Emerging Markets
Strong economic growth in emerging markets supported the growth of the compost market during the historic period. Strong economic growth in emerging markets boosted agricultural activity and urban development, increasing demand for sustainable farming and waste management solutions. This growth spurred the need for compost in agriculture, landscaping and gardening. Rising disposable incomes, environmental awareness and government sustainability initiatives further drove consumer adoption of organic products, creating favorable conditions for the compost market to thrive. For instance, in December 2022, according to the World Bank, China's gross domestic product (GDP) grew to $17.94 trillion in 2022 compared to $17.82 trillion in 2021 and $11.06 trillion in 2015. Additionally, according to the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution that provides loans and grants, Brazil's GDP (gross domestic product) growth rate stood at 4.99% in 2021, marking a significant increase of 8.27% compared to 2020. Therefore, strong economic growth in emerging markets contributed to the growth of the compost market.
Launch Of Eco-Friendly Compost Products Towards Sustainable Landscaping and Circular Economy
Leading compost market companies are launching eco-friendly compost and potting soil products made from food waste, supporting sustainable landscaping and green spaces. These nutrient-rich soils reduce landfill waste, promote soil health and contribute to a circular economy by repurposing food waste and promote sustainable gardening solutions while benefiting urban green initiatives and landscaping projects. For instance, in October 2024, Denali, a US-based leading organic recycler specializing in the collection, processing and conversion of organic waste into valuable products, launched ReCirculate, a compost and potting soil made from food waste sourced from grocery stores. This product utilizes organic waste nutrients to support sustainable landscaping, gardens and green spaces, fostering a circular economy. ReCirculate not only encourages consumers to opt for eco-friendly soil solutions but also enables retailers to monetize food waste, reducing landfill reliance and lowering carbon footprints.
The global compost market is highly fragmented, with a large number of players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 4.64% of the total market in 2023.
