Agricultural Surfactants Market Trends

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 Restraints

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 agricultural surfactants industry. Furthermore, rising demand for organic pesticides and fertilizers has reduced demand for chemical pesticides and other agrochemicals.
