Agricultural Adjuvants Market Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities & Challenges

The global agricultural adjuvants market size is estimated to account for a value of USD 3.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020, to reach a value of USD 4.4 billion by 2026. The increasing need for green adjuvants, improving efficiency, and effectiveness of agrochemicals are some of the factors driving the growth of the market.

Driver: Increased demand for green adjuvant, with an increasing focus on health and consumption of organically produced food during the Coronavirus outbreak.

In recent years, companies have been developing eco-friendly bio-based adjuvants such as methylated seed oil (MSO), modified vegetable oils, and organo-modified siloxanes. These biologically derived adjuvants are considered environment-friendly due to their high level of safety and biodegradability. In the time of the COVID outbreak, the world population is showing a trend towards higher demand for organically produced foods. There is a lot of concern rising for hygienic, healthy, and nutritious food in the markets, with people concerned about health amid the virus outbreak. Thus the demand for green and organic adjuvants is seen to remain stable in the pandemic times to increase to organic farm produce.

Restraint: Stringent regulations to manufacture adjuvants

Adjuvants produced from petrochemicals undergo various chemical processes that release toxic wastes and gases. Various regulations are imposed by government agencies such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the EU’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) to address them. These agencies map and monitor the toxicity emission levels within permissible levels. Stringent environmental regulations across all countries have increased the cost of developing new products and resulted in their delayed launch. This has been a strong barrier for new market players to utilize the opportunities to enter this market

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.

Asia Pacific comprises of developing countries with vast agricultural lands; the per capita income of the region depends on agricultural activities. Agricultural technologies are widely accepted and practiced in this region. In Asia Pacific, the total area under agriculture is shrinking due to the high rate of industrialization and urbanization. As a result, farmers opt for practices such as the use of chemical pesticides, which help to increase the yield or productivity of crops.

Key players in this market include Corteva Inc. (US), and Solvay (Belgium). These major players in this market are focusing on increasing their presence through expansions & investments, mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, and agreements. These companies have a strong presence in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. They also have manufacturing facilities along with strong distribution networks across these regions.
