Based on type, the agricultural surfactants market is segmented as non-ionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants. Non-Ionic Surfactants held a majority industry value of USD 0.4 billion in 2022. Non-ionic surfactants are compatible with a wide range of agrochemicals, making them a popular choice for tank mixing and enhancing the effectiveness of various pesticides.
Based on crop, the agricultural surfactants market is segmented as grains and cereals, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables, non-crop based, others. Grains and Cereals held a dominant industry share of around 32% in 2022. Agricultural surfactants ensure even distribution of agrochemicals on cereal plant surfaces, enhancing pest and disease control.
Based on function the agricultural surfactants market is segmented as wetting agents, spreading agents, adjuvants, emulsifiers. Wetting Agents segment is anticipated to grow at 4.8% CAGR by 2032. Wetting agents ensure uniform coverage of agrochemicals on plant surfaces, enhancing the effectiveness of pesticides and nutrients.
Based on application the agricultural surfactants market is segmented as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, others. Herbicides held a dominant industry share in 2022 and is anticipated to grow by 2032. Surfactants improve the spread and absorption of herbicides, leading to better weed control and crop protection.
U.S. dominated the North American region with majority agricultural surfactants market share and a revenue of USD 0.26 billion in 2022. North America grows a diverse range of crops, including cereals, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops. This diversity drives the need for surfactants tailored to different crop protection needs.
