Pesticide Adjuvant Market 2024

The pesticide adjuvant market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.2 billion in 2023 to $4.53 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing necessity to reduce pesticide waste, a growing demand for green adjuvants, enhanced efficacy in controlling pests, diseases, and weeds, a surge in the demand for organic food products, and a rising need for edible oils.

The pesticide adjuvant market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including a rising demand for eco-friendly adjuvants, increasing crop damage caused by insects, a growing population, heightened demand within the agricultural sector, rising pesticide consumption, and government initiatives that promote sustainable agriculture. Key trends expected in this period include technological advancements, innovations in agricultural technology, the integration of telematics and sensors, the development of innovative bio-based formulations, and progress in precision agriculture technologies.

The growth of the agriculture sector is anticipated to drive the expansion of the pesticide adjuvant market in the coming years. The agricultural sector encompasses the production, processing, and distribution of crops, livestock, and other agricultural products. Demand in this sector is influenced by changes in dietary patterns, increasing awareness of environmental concerns, and heightened investment in agricultural research, development, and infrastructure. Pesticide adjuvants are substances incorporated into pesticide formulations or tank mixes to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, or application of pesticides, ensuring better pest control in agriculture. For example, in February 2024, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, a UK government agency, reported that the average farm business income (FBI) across all UK farms rose significantly from $50,461 (£46,500) in 2020/21 to $78,133 (£72,000) in 2021/22. Additionally, the total income from farming (TIFF) in the UK for 2022 was $6.61 billion (£7.9 billion), marking a 17% increase. Therefore, the growth of the agricultural sector is fueling the pesticide adjuvant market.

Leading companies in the pesticide adjuvant sector are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as Inntero technology, to enhance pest control and improve compatibility with various pesticide formulations. Inntero technology is a type of adjuvant designed to boost the performance of agricultural pesticides. This technology emphasizes efficiency, providing growers with a tool to maximize pesticide effectiveness and improve crop protection during the growing season. For instance, in February 2024, Innvictis Crop Care LLC, a US company that produces crop protection, adjuvant, and nutritional products, launched Inntero, a new adjuvant technology for the 2023 growing season. This technology consists of seven unique, multifunctional adjuvants that can be applied in smaller quantities, enabling farmers to optimize their tank mixes and more effectively combat resistant weeds. Inntero provides full-strength adjuvants that enhance functions such as wetting, spreading, and penetration. It reduces surface tension while improving droplet spreading, absorption, compatibility, and deposition. This allows growers to optimize their spray applications, resulting in reduced waste, faster mixing times, and more efficient use of input storage space.

In May 2023, Nichino Europe Co. Ltd., a UK-based agrochemical manufacturer, acquired Interagro (UK) Limited for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance Nichino Europe Co. Ltd.’s product portfolio, and both companies plan to collaborate on research and development of innovative products that support global agriculture, with a focus on delivering improved and sustainable solutions to consumers. Interagro (UK) Limited specializes in manufacturing pesticide adjuvants and bio-stimulants.

A pesticide adjuvant is a substance incorporated into a pesticide formulation or tank mix to enhance its performance and effectiveness. These adjuvants improve the application process by modifying aspects such as spray coverage, absorption, and adhesion to target surfaces. By doing so, they help ensure that pesticides are applied more efficiently and uniformly, optimizing pest control and potentially reducing the quantity of pesticide required.

The primary types of pesticide adjuvants include surfactants and emulsifiers, drift control agents, oil concentrates, compatibility agents, water conditioners, and others. Surfactants are compounds that reduce the surface tension between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. Various formulations are available, including in-formulation and tank-mix options. These adjuvants are utilized across a range of crop types, including cereals and grains, oilseeds and pulses, fruits and vegetables, among others. They are also applied in various sectors such as agriculture, commercial use, and consumer applications.
