Global Agricultural Surfactant Market Snapshot
The Agricultural Surfactant Industry analysis projects that the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period from 2019 to 2024. Meeting the growing food demand of the increasing global population has become a matter of concern at present. Arable land data in 2030 is expected to decrease to 1800 m? from 2,200 m? in 2005. Moreover, several types of pests infecting the crops are a major reason leading toward 10%-16% of global crop losses annually. Therefore, to meet the global food demand, using crop protection products is being increasingly adopted by the growers currently.



The agricultural surfactant market growth is majorly driven by factors such as rise in the demand for crop protection chemicals and increasing push from government for the adoption of protected agricultural practices. However, factors such as the use of genetically modified seeds and environmental concerns regarding the use of surfactants hamper the overall market growth. Moreover, the production of bio-based surfactants, and development of cost effective production techniques of surfactants are anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the market growth.

Expert Quote on Global Agricultural Surfactant Market
“With the increasing pressure on the global food production and adoption of modern farming practices and technologies, the demand for pesticides is expected to increase, which, in turn, would enhance the growth of the agricultural surfactant market.
