Soil Aerators Global Market Report 2024

The soil aerators market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $27.16 billion in 2023 to $29.27 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the shift towards sustainable agriculture practices, heightened concerns about soil compaction, a rising demand for food production, a focus on environmental conservation, and increased investment in research and development in the agriculture sector.

The soil aerators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $38.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing adoption of no-till farming practices, government initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture, a growing focus on carbon sequestration, demand for improved crop yields, and the implementation of climate change mitigation strategies. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the adoption of smart and autonomous aerating equipment, the promotion of regenerative agriculture, collaboration with precision farming technologies, the use of biological soil aerators, and the integration of remote and wireless connectivity in soil aeration practices.

The anticipated surge in demand from the agriculture industry is set to drive the future growth of the soil aerators market. The agriculture industry, encompassing crop and livestock farming, farming engineering, and the production of agricultural equipment and related items, plays a pivotal role in propelling the soil aerators market. These aerators enhance root development, elevate the rate of photosynthesis, and increase chlorophyll content, thereby fostering improved plant growth and reducing plant mortality, especially under NaCl stress conditions. For instance, in February 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture reported an 11% growth in U.S. agricultural exports in 2022, amounting to $19.5 billion over the previous record set in 2021. This underscores how the escalating demand from the agriculture industry is a driving force behind the soil aerators market.

The substantial growth of urbanization is a significant contributor to the expanding soil aerators market. Urbanization, marked by the migration of people from rural to urban areas, results in city growth and expansion. The demand for soil aerators in urban settings arises from the necessity to overcome challenges linked to soil compaction, promote sustainable landscaping practices, and ensure the health of green spaces in densely populated areas. For example, according to data released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in July 2023, the global urban population is projected to increase 1.5 times, reaching 6 billion by 2045. Hence, the growing trend of urbanization is expected to drive the soil aerators market.

Technological innovations emerge as a prominent trend gaining momentum in the soil aerators market. Leading companies in the market are dedicated to developing innovative technologies to fortify their market position. For instance, in November 2020, Salford Group Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of soil aerators and related equipment, introduced the HALO AerWay model AerWay Shattertines. This innovation integrates Salford and AerWay tillage technology, creating an optimal vertical tillage equipment that combines deep soil aeration with residue management. The AerWay Shattertines effectively break up the ground around and under the tines, enhancing soil air and moisture retention, promoting deeper root growth, and facilitating even fertilizer distribution throughout the root zone. The adjustable angle settings of the HALO AerWay model's tines and blades provide growers with control over the severity of their tillage.

Collaborations and partnerships represent another notable trend gaining traction in the soil aerators market. Collaborations between equipment manufacturers, technology companies, and agricultural researchers aim to enhance soil aerators' capabilities, integrate cutting-edge technologies, and address specific challenges in soil management. For instance, in January 2022, Ewing Irrigation & Landscape Supply, a U.S.-based green industry supplier, joined forces with Z-Turf Equipment to offer industry-leading spreader-sprayers, aerators, and slicer seeders in select locations. The Z-Aerate stand-on aerators, available in various sizes, feature an innovative design that allows operators to aerate areas around trees, flower beds, and other landscaping simultaneously with an available spreader attachment.

In June 2022, Linamar Corporation, a Canada-based manufacturer of soil aerators and advanced equipment, acquired Salford Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move positions Linamar Corporation as a global leader among Canada's short-line original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of agricultural equipment. Salford Group Inc. is a U.S.-based company specializing in the manufacture of soil aerators, precise application equipment, and tillage equipment.
