United States agricultural
surfactants market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the
forecast period. Surfactant is a soapy substance which helps in reducing the
surface tension of the water. Surfactants minimize the water surface tension so
that the pesticides can keep the spray targeted rather than mixing into the
water. Agricultural surfactants blended with agrochemicals improve the spread
of spray droplets on the surface of leaves and maximize the duration of spray
droplets. Agricultural surfactants also increase the proficiency of pesticides.
Growing adoption
of precision agriculture and rising demand for green solutions are the major
factors driving the United States agricultural surfactants market. Additionally,
agricultural surfactants improve wettability, spreading ability, retention and
penetration in leaf surface, which is further fuelling their demand. Moreover, changing
farming methods and adoption of new technologies are anticipated to propel
growth in the market in the coming years.
United
States agricultural surfactants market is segmented based on type, substrate type, crop type,
crop application, application, company and region. Based on type, the market
can be fragmented into anionic, cationic, non-anionic and amphoteric. The
non-anionic segment is expected to dominate the market during forecast period
on account of their low toxicity and stability in cold water. Additionally,
these are good dispersing agents. Based on substrate type, the market can be
divided into synthetic and bio-based. The synthetic segment holds a significant
market share since most of the agriculture surfactants are petroleum based and
are synthetic in nature. Based on application, the market can be categorized
into insecticide, herbicide, fungicide and others. The fungicides segment is
expected to witness growth during forecast period on account of increasing use of
surfactants in formulation to enhance fungicide adhesion to crops.
Additionally, surfactants increase the efficacy of fungicide and helps to stick
on plant surface.
The major players operating in the
agricultural surfactants market are Stepan Company, Bayer
(Monsanto Company), Loveland Products, Inc., DuPont de Nemours, Inc., BASF
Corporation, Huntsman Corporation, Helena Agri-Enterprises, LLC, Wilbur-Ellis
Co LLC, Croda International, Akzo Nobel N.V. and others. Major companies
are launching new products in order to stay competitive in the market. Other
competitive strategies include mergers & acquisitions and new product
developments. For instance, in 2018, Stephan company
announced acquisition of BASF Mexicana S.A. DE C.V. surfactant production
facility in Ecatepec, Mexico. Through this acquisition, Stephan expanded its
production capacity and attained a strong market position in Mexico.
