According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Mulching Materials Market is accounted for $4.27 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $7.48 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period. Mulching materials are substances applied to the soil surface to enhance its quality, conserve moisture, regulate temperature, suppress weeds, and improve aesthetics, these materials can be organic. Organic mulches decompose over time, enriching the soil with nutrients, while inorganic mulches provide long-lasting coverage without decomposing.
According to the National Gardening Association, 35% of American households either cultivate their own food at home or participate in community gardens.
Increasing landscaping activities
The need for landscaping solutions is being driven by businesses and homeowners who are concentrating more on improving outdoor areas. Mulching products are popular for lawns and gardens because they enhance soil quality and moisture retention. These products provide an economical and eco-friendly alternative by reducing the growth of weeds. The demand for mulching is being further increased by the expansion of landscaping services brought about by urbanisation. The market's expansion is fuelled by consumer demand for low-maintenance, aesthetically beautiful landscapes. As a result, this trend helps the mulching materials sector continue to grow steadily.
Environmental concerns with inorganic mulches
Environmental concerns surrounding inorganic mulches, these mulches do not biodegrade, leading to long-term environmental pollution. The accumulation of plastic in soils and waterways can harm ecosystems and wildlife. As awareness of environmental issues grows, demand for sustainable alternatives is rising. Governments and organizations are imposing regulations to limit the use of non-biodegradable mulches. This shift towards eco-friendly options challenges traditional mulching practices and creates market uncertainty for inorganic mulch producers.
