DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Population Rate to Augment Growth

According to the data by the United Nations, the global population is expected to reach about 8.5 billion by 2030. And 9.7 billion by 20250. The growing rate of population is likely to propel the demand for food and to suffice the needs the agriculture sector is expected to focus on the development of superior quality yield. These factors are anticipated to drive the demand for advanced agricultural surfactants globally. Additionally, supportive government regulations to promote sustainable farming practices and the increasing focus on crop protection is expected to contribute to the growth of the global agricultural surfactants market during the forecast period.

SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis:

The agricultural surfactants market is segmented into cationic, anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric types. In 2019, non-ionic surfactants held the largest share due to their compatibility with various agrochemicals, low toxicity, and effective cold-water stability. Anionic surfactants enhance spraying and spreading due to their foam-forming properties. Amphoteric surfactants, with both positive and negative charges, improve emulsifying, dispersing, and penetration properties, supporting segment growth.

By Application Analysis:

Based on application, the market is divided into herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and others. Herbicides dominate due to their widespread use in weed control and enhanced effectiveness when combined with surfactants. Insecticides follow, with rising demand driven by the need for effective pest control and improved application through surfactants.

By Crop Type Analysis:

The crop types include cereals & grains, fruits & vegetables, and others. Cereals & grains led the market in 2019, driven by the need for protection against pests and diseases. Fruits & vegetables are expected to grow steadily due to increasing use of surfactants for cleaning and chemical.
