Agricultural Surfactants Market Segmentation:

Crop Type Segment Analysis

The global agricultural surfactants market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by crop type into cereals & grains, and fruits & vegetables. Amongst these two segments, the fruits and vegetables segment is expected to garner a significant share at the end of 2035. The growth of the segment is attributed to the rising need to produce more fruits and vegetables. At this time, the globe produces too many grains, fats, and sugars while producing insufficient amounts of fruits, vegetables, and protein to meet the nutritional needs of the population. Moreover, the world needs to boost the production of fruits and vegetables by 3 times, in order to compete the growing demand. On the other hand, low consumption of fruits and vegetables leads to various health problems that also boost the need for fruit and vegetables. Eating too little fruit and vegetables contributes to roughly 14% of all deaths from gastrointestinal cancer worldwide, 11% of deaths from ischemic heart disease, and 9% of deaths from stroke.

Application Segment Analysis

The global agricultural surfactants market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into herbicides and fungicides. Out of which, the herbicides segment is anticipated to hold the largest market size by the end of 2035 on the back of the improvement of spray droplet absorption and penetration of active contents into the plant foliage is estimated to fuel the market growth. The addition of adjuvants such as surfactants to the spray solution will change the density and viscosity of droplets thus improving the penetration and wettability of the plants which directly impacts the evaporation rate of droplets. As per the observations, the density of glyphosate solution is increased by 2% with the addition of synthetic adjuvant when compared to glyphosate alone.
