Global Agricultural Surfactants Market Insights

Agricultural Surfactants Market size was valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 1.37 billion in 2022 to USD 2.18 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

Agricultural surfactants essentially improve pesticide effectiveness. They reduce water surface tension and help farmers use pesticides more effectively. Agricultural surfactants are combined with agrochemicals to improve spray droplet spread on the surface of leaves and maximize spray droplet duration. The root cause of the market growth rate is the increasing demand for agricultural surfactant across various end-use applications such as transportation, construction, and furniture. Rising food demand and shrinking land are expected to cushion the growth of the agricultural surfactant during the forecast period, paving the way for market growth. Furthermore, the increasing population rate and supportive government regulations to promote sustainable farming practices, as well as the increased emphasis on crop protection, are expected to cushion overall market growth. On the other hand, factors such as limited agrochemical supply availability are expected to stymie the growth of the agricultural surfactant market. The market's overall growth is also expected to be hampered by volatile raw material prices and a stringent regulatory environment.

The global market is expected to benefit from the rising use of bio-based surfactants and the spread of affordable pesticides. Demand for agricultural surfactants is anticipated to rise as precision farming is increasingly used and crop protection against pests becomes more important. The use of such biotech plants, which have higher yields and require less agrochemicals and pesticides, would restrain the industry's expansion. This is primarily used in conjunction with pesticide mixtures, such as fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, plant growth regulators, and foliar nutrients, to improve plant nutrition and increase market demand.

US Agricultural Surfactants Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Based on region, market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Middle East Africa.

Agricultural Surfactants Market Analysis by Product Type:

The global market will be dominated by the non-ionic segment. The agricultural surfactants market is divided into three types: cationic anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric. The non-ionic segment accounted for the majority of the market in 2022 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period because these are neutral surfactants with no change on the hydrophilic end. These surfactants are widely used in herbicides due to their good dispersing ability, low toxicity, and cold-water stability. Because of its surface tension reduction and contact with individual spray droplets properties, it is mostly compatible with water-soluble insecticides, plant growth regulators, fungicides, and herbicides.

Global Agricultural Surfactants Market Dynamics

Agricultural Surfactants Market Drivers

Growing Demand for Crop Protection to Support Market Growth

  • Rapidly increasing global population has resulted in a significant increase in food demand. According to research conducted by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), agricultural land is and will continue to be a source of concern for food production in the coming years. Modern farming techniques and a higher rate of pesticide and insecticide adoption are expected to reduce food demand and supply pressure by yielding abundant produce. The increasing prevalence of crop diseases and insect attacks has increased the demand for higher yields and the production of a higher quality crop. As a result, the demand for pesticides and insecticides has increased.

Agricultural Surfactants Market Restraint

Use of Chemical Insecticides and Pesticides to Limit Market Growth

  • Consumer preferences for food products with minimal chemical residues have significantly reduced the use of chemical pesticides and insecticides, which has hampered demand for agricultural surfactants. The growing consumer awareness of the negative effects of some pesticides and other agrochemicals' chemical content is having a negative impact on the market. Furthermore, rising demand for organic pesticides and fertilizers has reduced demand for chemical pesticides and other agrochemicals.
