The global agricultural adjuvants market was stood around USD 3 billion in 2020 and is expected to showcase a growth of around 6% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Over the years, world witnessed the rise in population and is continuously growing creating greater demand for food. And the strain on land, which is a limited resource, has also grown. However, growth of population outpaced the land growth, thereby reducing the agricultural land per capita. For instance, according to the Our World in Data, the global agricultural land per capita has decreased to 0.6 hectare in 2018 compared to 1.4 hectare in 1961. This reduction in agricultural land has increased the global focus on improving crop yield, thereby increased the interest of agrochemical manufacturers to produce more advance, productive, and less toxic to humans, agrochemicals. However, despite availability of wide range of agrochemicals, there is an increasing requirement of auxiliary products like adjuvants to improve the performance of agrochemicals. Adjuvants aids in agrochemical in various ways such as facilitated wetting, penetration, or better retention. This in turn has increased the consumers interest on agricultural adjuvants.
COVID-19 had the negative impact on almost all the industries, however few exceptional industries like healthcare and agricultural has showcase significant growth during the period. Agricultural falls under the essential industry due to which very limited hindrance has been witnessed, as a result demand for agricultural products like fertilizer, pesticides, and adjuvants has increased. For instance, in India, agricultural was the only sector to grow for April-June 2020 among eight used to compute India’s GDP. In the same quarter, the country GDP shrank by 23.9%.
