Agricultural Adjuvants Market Overview:

Market Research Future (MRFR) projects the agricultural adjuvants market to advance USD 4.95 Billion at a CAGR 4.95 % from 2021 to 2030, as precision farming gains traction among farmers and growers worldwide.

Rising prevalence of modern farming practices and the mounting adoption of cutting-edge technologies including “agriculture 4.0”, which is a form of precision farming has favored the agricultural adjuvants market in recent years. Surging concerns about food security has been another growth booster for the agricultural adjuvants industry and will enhance the size in the coming years as well. Monetary pressure is building due to the soaring use of pesticides for higher product yield. To address this issue, farmers have been increasingly using agricultural adjuvants, as these cut down the total amount of agrochemicals used, fostering the penetration, retention, and spreading ability.

Rise in health and environmental concerns have steered the focus of governments as well as surfactant developers towards sustainable and renewable products. This has given way to a significant demand for biologically sourced products that have almost no negative impact on the environment compared to traditional petroleum-derived products that bioaccumulate within the marine environment. Agricultural bio- adjuvants are gaining traction in the petrochemical sector, given their benefits including low toxicity, biodegradability, interfacial operation, and improved surface.

However, less awareness level among the farmers and growers, particularly in emerging countries where the adoption of modern farming practise is still low, can have a detrimental impact on the worldwide market.

On the other hand, in view of their significant advantages, bio-adjuvants are experiencing massive demand from industries like agriculture, chemistry, food production, pharmaceutics, and cosmetics. Adjuvants are considered to be a critical auxiliary in the manufacturing process, while the advances in biotechnology, along with the emergence of strict regulations have shed light on the importance of using these products. They are gradually becoming a feasible alternative to chemical adjuvants.
