IMARC’s latest report, entitled “Agricultural Adjuvant Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, finds that the global agricultural adjuvant market reached a value of US$ 2.8 Billion in 2017. Agricultural adjuvants refer to secondary products that are used to improve the efficiency and facilitate the functions of agrochemicals such as insecticides, herbicides and fungicides. Some of the most common adjuvants include surfactants, oils, wetting or spreading agents, drift control agents, and conditioning agents. Agricultural adjuvants can either be added to the spray tank alongside other agrochemical products or incorporated into a formulation. Nowadays, the rapid adoption of modern farming techniques has been spurring the demand for agricultural adjuvants.

Market Trends:

Agricultural adjuvants help in increasing the performance and improve the cost-effectiveness of crop protection in modern agricultural techniques, such as precision farming, as they have the ability to improve the spreading, adhesion and wettability of spray droplets. This helps in the penetration of the active ingredient into the target species, thereby improving herbicide activity and pesticide absorption into plant cells as well as reducing herbicide photo-degradation. Apart from this, the increasing demand for food has encouraged the farmers to opt for advanced farming methods in order to produce higher yields, in turn, leading to a heightened demand for agricultural adjuvants. Additionally, the development of green adjuvant solutions which are environment-friendly and economical is further providing a positive thrust to the market growth. Looking forward, the market is projected to cross the value of US$ 3.9 Billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of over 5.5% during 2018-2023.
