Agricultural Adjuvants Markets, 2026 - Drift Potential of UAVs With Adjuvants in Aerial Applications
DUBLIN, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Agricultural Adjuvants Market by Function (Activator and Utility), Application (Herbicides, Insecticides, and Fungicides), Formulation (Suspension Concentrates and Emulsifiable Concentrates), Adoption Stage, Crop Type, and Region - Global Forecast 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global agricultural adjuvants market is estimated to be valued at USD 3.3 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 4.7 billion by 2026, recording a CAGR of 5.3%.
Factors such as growing demand for crop protection products had also resulted in the development and commercialization of sustainable crop protection solutions, to abide by environmental regulations are projected to drive the growth of this market.
Agricultural adjuvants are additives added to an agricultural chemical product to alter their physicochemical properties and/or to improve their efficacy. Agricultural adjuvants fall into two main categories, depending upon their functional properties, namely, activators and utility adjuvants. Surfactants formed the major type of activator adjuvants that are formulated for crop protection solutions, which can be either ionic, nonionic, or amphoteric.
The agricultural adjuvants market is a relatively small segment in the crop protection chemicals industry. However, the market has witnessed a significant growth rate due to the increasing need for sustainable pest management in agricultural operations in developed countries. Strong research funding by key manufacturers for the development of products, such as drift control and anti-foam agents, is projected to drive the growth of the market over the next seven years. In addition, with the increasing use of drones for pesticide application, manufacturers are also focusing on offering adjuvants that are compatible with drones.
Key companies in the agricultural adjuvants market are Corteva (US), AkzoNobel (Netherlands), Evonik Industries (Germany), Nufarm (Australia), Croda International (UK), BASF (Germany), Solvay (Belgium), Huntsman International (US), Helena Agri-Enterprises (US), Wilbur-Ellis (US), Stepan Company (US), Clariant (Switzerland), Plant Health Technologies (US), and BRANDT (US).
New product launches, expansions, and acquisitions were the key strategies that help manufacturers to enhance their penetration in the developing markets.
