Opportunity: Manufacturing adjuvant products for cost-effectiveness

The cost of adjuvants fluctuates and depends mainly on the prices of petroleum and vegetable oil that are used for agricultural adjuvant production. As the application costs of different single-purpose adjuvants during pesticide application prove to be expensive for growers, applicators are looking for adjuvants that are simple to use and multifunctional. The increased downstream cost, high foam formation during production, and low productivity have resulted in many R&D activities. Many new developments have been the area of focus for researchers; these include reducing the raw material costs, increasing the production yield, and developing new techniques to lower the foam formation.

Challenge: Impact on the production cost of farmers

The adoption of adjuvants further adds to the costs of seed and pesticides used for crop cultivation. Even though the adoption of adjuvants reduces the application cycles of pesticides, the cost of adjuvants could considerably affect the farm production cost to an extent. The cost again would depend on the stage at which the adjuvants are utilized, either as in-formulation or tank-mix adjuvants. The farmers’ profit margins get reduced due to the additional cost of adjuvants. However, with the increasing need to undertake sustainable measures to control pesticide drift and avoid creating environmental risks, farmers would adopt these adjuvants, which would, in turn, turn out to be cost burden, especially in developing countries.

By application, the herbicide segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period.

The herbicide segment is projected to hold the largest market share in the agricultural adjuvants market during the forecast period as according to industry experts from prominent seed manufacturers, disease resistance and herbicide tolerance are traits that have been on demand, owing to the increasing instances of early germination pest attacks and regulations against cop protection chemicals.
