Agricultural Adjuvants Market Report 2026

The agricultural adjuvants market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.06 billion in 2025 to $5.63 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of chemical crop protection products, expansion of commercial agriculture practices, rising demand for improved pesticide efficacy, growth in herbicide and insecticide applications, availability of diverse adjuvant chemistries.

The agricultural adjuvants market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable agriculture practices, rising adoption of precision spraying techniques, expansion of high-value crop cultivation, growing demand for low-drift formulations, increasing investments in advanced agrochemical solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of tank-mix adjuvants, rising demand for crop-specific adjuvant formulations, growing use of surfactant-based adjuvants, expansion of multifunctional utility adjuvants, enhanced focus on spray efficiency optimization.

The growth of organic farming is expected to drive the agricultural adjuvants market. This growth is fueled by rising consumer demand for chemical-free and sustainable food, increasing environmental awareness, government incentives, and recognition of the health benefits of organic products. Organic farming emphasizes natural processes and materials for crop cultivation and livestock rearing, avoiding synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Agricultural adjuvants are used in organic farming to enhance the effectiveness of natural pesticides and fertilizers, improve application efficiency, and support plant health while complying with organic standards. For example, in May 2023, the Organic Trade Association reported that total organic sales, including non-food products, reached $60 billion in 2022 and surged to a record $67.6 billion in 2023, reflecting substantial growth in the organic sector. Therefore, the expansion of organic farming is expected to drive demand for agricultural adjuvants.

Leading companies in the agricultural adjuvant market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as adjuvant solutions that enhance efficacy to optimize pest control and improve compatibility with various pesticide formulations. Adjuvant technology involves the creation and use of substances, known as adjuvants, which are added to pesticides, herbicides, or other agricultural products to boost their performance. For example, in February 2024, Innvictis Crop Care LLC, a U.S.-based manufacturer of crop protection, adjuvant, and nutritional products, launched Inntero. Inntero is an adjuvant technology designed to improve the effectiveness of pesticide applications. It comprises seven unique, multifunctional adjuvants that can be used in smaller quantities, enabling farmers to optimize their tank mixes and combat resistant weeds more efficiently. Inntero provides full-strength adjuvants that enhance various functions such as wetting, spreading, and penetration. By reducing surface tension and improving droplet spreading, absorption, compatibility, and deposition, Inntero allows growers to optimize their spray applications, resulting in less waste, faster mixing times, and more efficient use of storage space for inputs.

In October 2023, DE SANGOSSE, a France-based agricultural service company, acquired the agricultural activities of ALGAENERGY for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance DE SANGOSSE's sustainable agricultural solutions, with a particular focus on biostimulants, biofertilizers, and biocontrol products. ALGAENERGY is a Spain-based agricultural service company that specializes in providing agricultural adjuvants.
