Agricultural Adjuvants Market

Agricultural adjuvants are used to increase the efficiency of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, insecticides, and other agents that eliminate and control unwanted pests. Agricultural adjuvants improve the properties of the spray solutions that enhance pesticides’ ability to protect, penetrate, or target the organism. The various types of ingredients used in adjuvants are oils, surfactants, salts, and emulsifiers. Each of these ingredients are used to enhance the properties such as penetration, droplet size, and other characteristics. These additives may be added separately to a tank or included in the formulation with pesticide.

Some of the major factors driving the global agricultural adjuvants market are increasing importance for precision farming, the rising use of surfactants, salts, emulsifiers, and oils for better production of crops, and the growing adoption of protected agricultural practices. Precision farming enables farmers to use agricultural adjuvants for proper agrochemical applications. In recent years, companies are opting for eco-friendly bio-based adjuvants such as organo-modified siloxanes, methylated seed oil (MSO), and modified vegetable oils. In this pandemic outbreak, there is an increased demand for organically produced food. Due to the biodegradability and high level of safety of surfactants, salts, emulsifiers, and oils, they are considered environment friendly. Increasing adoption of organic farming is responsible for the growth of the agricultural adjuvants market over the forecast period.

Most of the developing economies are based on agriculture sector, where farmers can produce the maximum possible yield from the available resources. Increasing demand for food crops will surge the need for more pest control chemicals and other pesticides. Land availability is limited in most of the regions, which in turn, increases the requirement for better crop production and less crop damage. This factor is expected to enhance the growth of the agricultural adjuvants market. Unawareness among people about these products and price volatility might hamper the growth of the market.

Based on the function, the market is segmented into activator adjuvants and utility adjuvants. Activator adjuvant segment is expected to dominate the global agricultural adjuvants market during the forecast period owing to its ability to enhance herbicides’ properties when added to spray solutions. Activator adjuvants are suitable for a variety of applications as they are capable to increase the solubilization and reduce the surface tension.

Based on the application, the market is segmented into insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other applications. The herbicide segment is anticipated to witness a faster CAGR over the forecast period attributed to various regulations against crop protection chemicals and rising instances of early germination pest attacks. Herbicides are used to reduce weed growth and improve the quality of yield.

Based on the adoption stage, the market is segmented into in-formulation and tank-mix. The tank-mix segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. When tank-mix adjuvant is added to the pesticide in the farmer’s tank, it enhances the performance of active ingredients in the pesticide and reduces the harmful effects such as drift and bouncing. These adjuvants increase the overall performance of the products used for plant protection. Therefore, all these factors are responsible for the growth of the segment.

Based on the formulation, the market is segmented into suspension concentrate and emulsifiable concentrate. The suspension concentrate segment is anticipated to witness higher CAGR over the forecast period. Suspension concentrate provides various benefits such as absence of flammable liquids, ease of use, effectiveness, and absence of dust. These factors are expected to increase the growth of the suspension formulation segment over the coming years.

Based on the crop type, the market is segmented into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and others. Cereals & grains segment is anticipated to witness a faster CAGR attributed to the increased demand to maximize the crop yield from existing agricultural installations and farmlands, increase in demand for food materials, and rise in population which has led to a strong demand for crop protection chemicals. Thus, cereals & grains segment is expected to grow over the forecast period.

 Key Developments: 

• In 2020, BASF developed the new herbicide named Kixor. It is applied prior to the plantation of crops for a complete and fast burndown. This herbicide provided greater timing flexibility and enhanced planting efficiency. It can also be used as a pre-emergence herbicide in sorghum and corn to control weed growth.
• In 2019, Evonik introduced the following four biodegradable and sustainable adjuvants- BREAK-THRU S 301, BREAK-THRU SD 260, BREAK-THRU SP 133, and BREAK-THRU SF 420. These four adjuvants are characterized as multifunctional additives and wetting agents based on polyglycerolester, trisiloxanes, and sophorolipids.
• In 2018, Brandt Inc. launched an adjuvant named TriTek, an alternative against whitefly vector in soybeans & kidney beans and greening vector in citrus. It is oil that is appropriate for high temperatures, with low aromatic content and can be used in diverse agricultural crops.
