The agricultural adjuvants market isprojected to grow at a CAGR of6.1% from 2020 to 2026.
The global agricultural adjuvants marketsize is estimated to be valued at USD3.1billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 4.4billion by 2026, recording a CAGR of 6.1%. Factors such as growing demand for crop protection products had also resulted in the development and commercialization of sustainable crop protection solutions, to abide by environmental regulationsare projected to drive the growth of this market.

The governments shut down borders and economies for restricting the spread of the coronavirus. This resultedin businesses observing major impacts on their international trades. Many markets are focusing on fulfilling their requirements for fertilizers, pesticides, and adjuvants by domestic companies. This is, however, causing an imbalance between the demand and supply quantities. However, some regions are completely dependent on imports and are facing tough situations. Adjuvants are majorly dependent on raw materials such as vegetable oils and petroleum for their production. Gradually the rise in the prices of these commodities has resulted in higher adjuvant prices. All these factors hampered the potential growth of the market at the beginning of 2020.

The activator adjuvantssegment isprojected to be the largest in the agricultural adjuvants market during the forecast period.
Activator adjuvants are the most widely consumed agricultural adjuvants, owing to the high use of surfactants in various pesticide formulations. Most herbicides are mixed with surfactants to improve their spraying characteristics. The modes of activator adjuvant include reduction of spray solution surface tension to enhance contact area, increased spray retention, and protection of the herbicide in the spray solution. Also, there are a number of crop protection solutions that are formulated with surfactant compounds as a part of the formulation. Surfactants are one of the important adjuvants and are manufactured by most global manufacturers.

The cereals & grains segmentto witness the fastest growth during the forecast period.
By crop type, the agricultural adjuvants market is segmented into cereals & grains, oilseeds & pulses, fruits & vegetables, and other segments.The increasing popularity of industrial crops such as corn, soybean, canola, and wheat, and the rising demand for high-value cash crops such as coffee, fruits, and vegetables have also been fueling the demand for adjuvants. Manufacturers have also been focused on the development of adjuvants for specific pesticide groups. These adjuvants, such as surfactants, spreader stickers, anti-foaming materials, buffering agents, and compatibility agents, are added to crop protection products or agrochemicals for enhancing the efficacy of the active ingredients and thus, helps in improving the overall performance of the product.

The in-formulation segment to expected to have a larger market share during the forecast period.
By the adoption stage, the agricultural adjuvants market is segmented into in-formulation and tank-mix.Adjuvants which are incorporated in the formulation are called as “built-in” or “in-formulation” adjuvants.With the increasing demand from customers for agrochemicals that can be directly applied to the crops and do not require any separate addition of chemicals; manufacturers have introduced in-formulation adjuvants that are incorporated into pre-packaged pesticides products.

North America marketis estimated to account for the largest market share due to therapid adoption of advanced technologies for better yielding of crops in the region.
North America is the largest market for agricultural adjuvants across the globe. The high consumption of surfactants recorded in countries across the globe and the advent of sustainable oil adjuvants are the major reasons for the dominance of activator adjuvants across the region.The agricultural adjuvants market is dominated by North Americaowing to the adoption of modern agricultural technologies and integrated pest management practices.
