Coco Coir Market Set to Reach USD 628.55 Million by 2033, Fueled by Sustainable Farming Trends

Market Overview

The global coco coir market grows fast. It will reach USD 628.55 million by 2033 from USD 393.75 million in 2024. The report by IMARC Group shows a 5.07% yearly rise from 2025 to 2033. Growth comes from using eco-friendly soil in hydroponics, floriculture, and organic farming.

Coco coir keeps water well, lets air reach roots, and breaks down naturally. These features make it a strong choice over traditional peat moss. Its rise links closely to a world that values eco-responsible agriculture.

Key Market Drivers and Trends

1. Growing Demand for Sustainable Growing Media

Farmers now seek a peat moss substitute. They choose coco coir for its natural and renewable makeup. The Asia Pacific region holds a 35.7% share. This growth comes from strong organic farming and green policies.

2. Expansion of Controlled Environment Agriculture

Greenhouse farms lead with a 68.5% share. They use coco coir to keep moisture steady and aid root breathing. This cut in water use helps boost crop yields.

3. Rise in Organic and Vertical Farming

Organic farms grew by over 20 million hectares in 2022, totaling 96 million hectares. Farmers want soil enhancers that have no chemicals. Vertical farms and hydroponics add to the need for soilless mixes. These trends create new ways to expand the market.

4. Supportive Government Policies

Many countries back coco coir. For example, India’s Coir Development Scheme gives support. Global subsidies boost the use of sustainable farm materials.
