Agricultural Adjuvants Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

An agricultural adjuvant is any substance that enhances the efficiency of pesticides, including herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and many other agents that eliminate or control unsolicited pests. Like medical adjuvant, agriculture adjuvant is not directly responsible for eliminating or controlling pests. These additives instead allow the pesticides to target, protect or penetrate the organism by transforming a particular property of the spray solution.

Global Agricultural Adjuvants Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing production of fresh fruits and vegetables

The increasing production of fresh fruits and vegetables globally because of growing consumer health consciousness will likely drive the market's growth. As per the Horticultural Statistic at A Glance 2018, the production of fruits augmented from 74.9 to 97.4 million tons from 2010-11 to 2017-18. Also, vegetable production increased from 133.7 to 184.4 million tons from 2010-11 to 2017-18. Hence the growing production of fresh fruits and vegetables boosts the market growth.

• Increasing demand for agrochemicals

Growing demand for agrochemicals is likely to propel the growth of the agricultural adjuvants market. Agrochemicals are those chemical products composed of pesticides, fertilizers, and plant-growth hormones used in agriculture. An agricultural adjuvant is an auxiliary that surges the effectiveness of an agrochemical. For instance, in 2021, according to the International Fertilizer Association, a France-based non-profit organization, Nitrogen demand augmented by  4.3 Mt to 110.0 Mt from 2020 to 2021, accounting for more than half of the global fertilizer use. Thus, the rising demand for agrochemicals is boosting market growth.   

Opportunities

• Growing demand for green adjuvant

The growing demand for green adjuvant is expected to create lucrative opportunities for market growth in upcoming years. A growing focus on wellness and health among consumers is one of the major factors for the growth of the demand for green adjuvants. Consumers are progressively inclined toward organically produced foods. Hence, companies are focusing on developing eco-friendly and bio-based adjuvants such as modified vegetable oils, organo-modified siloxanes, and methylated seed oil.

• Increasing partnerships between market players

The increasing partnership between market players in the global agricultural adjuvants market will likely generate ample opportunities within the market. For instance, in 2021, Attune Agriculture announced its partnership with Nufarm Grupo to develop an Ampersand adjuvant in Mexico. Ampersand adjuvant works more contrarily than normal surfactants. At the same time, most spreaders or stickers rely on droplet spread for leaf coverage. This partnership will help the company strengthen its global market position.

Restraints/ Challenges

• Stringent regulations associated with agricultural adjuvants

 Regulations by various authorities on agricultural adjuvants in different nations are the major factor that is restraining the growth of the market. For instance, in Brazil, the rules for adjuvants were the same as those for agrichemicals, such as Law 7,802, regulated by Decree 4,074 until 2017. In 2017, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA) addressed agricultural adjuvants in Brazil.

• Increasing concern regarding the usage of petroleum oil-based adjuvants

Human health and environmental concerns by using petroleum oil-based adjuvants are projected to challenge the growth of the agricultural adjuvants market within the forecast period. Petroleum oil-based adjuvants are released into the environment in the form of micro drops and oil mist, posing a major threat to human health and the environment. As a result, this hampers the market growth.
