Upcoming Growth Trends in the Agricultural Adjuvants Market

The report "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", is estimated to be valued at USD 3.3 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach a value of USD 4.7 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Factors such as the rising demand for improved crop varieties is driving the growth of the agricultural adjuvants market.


Adjuvants for biological products

Adjuvants are mostly added to synthetic pesticides to improve their performance. However, these adjuvants undergo strict regulations and require high investment for production. Hence, there is a need to develop adjuvants that can be used in biological products such as biopesticides and biostimulants.

Adjuvant manufacturing companies are constantly adapting to the changing demands by developing novel products and technologies. With the increasing awareness of eco-friendly and sustainable products, the necessity to develop adjuvants that can be compatible with biological products has been increasingly realized. Sustainable and non-oil adjuvants are required to maintain the viability and pesticidal efficiency of agricultural biologicals such as biostimulants and biofertilizers.


The cereals & grains segment, by crop type, is estimated to account for the largest market share, by value, in 2019

Cereals & grains accounted for the largest consumption of herbicides in North America and Asia Pacific, owing to the high cultivation of corn and wheat in countries such as the US and China. Adjuvants are added to the commercial formulae of herbicides to improve their efficacy by increasing the adhesion properties of herbicides to the leaf surface, as well as aiding transport across the waxy cuticle membrane and into the plant. Adjuvants used in herbicide treatment solutions for cereals & grains aim to improve spray droplet retention and penetration of active ingredients into the plant foliage. Thus, cereals and grains are estimated to be the most popular crop type in the agricultural adjuvants market.
