Agricultural adjuvants help in enhancing the efficiency of pesticides and thereby increases the yield and productivity of crops. Agricultural adjuvants include fertilizers, oils, ammonium, and surfactants. The global agricultural adjuvants market is projected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 5.52% during the forecast period to reach a market size of US$4.046 billion by 2025, increasing from US$3.655 billion in 2019. Growing population coupled with rapid urbanization as well as mounting concerns to reduce supply demand gap between food consumption and production is driving the agricultural adjuvants market. The continuous investments in R&D and technological advancements have led to the development of protected agricultural practices which is contributing to the demand for products capable of meeting the above objective. Furthermore, availability of cost-efficient and environmentally acceptable adjuvants is also boosting the demand over the forecast period. However, growing focus on genetically modified seeds and focus on environmental sustainability are key challenges to the market growth.
By Application
By application, herbicides accounted for a large market share in 2016 and are expected to grow at a decent rate over the forecasted period. This growth is primarily due to growing pressure on global food production owing to rapidly increasing population. The rise in production of cereals and grains, especially in Asian countries augments herbicides segment in the agricultural adjuvants market. Moreover, developing farming practices and technologies further contribute to this segment’s growth.
By Geography
