The global agricultural surfactants market size is expected to showcase significant growth by reaching USD 1,927.5 million by 2027 while exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% between 2020 and 2027. The growth is attributed to the increasing population rate and the growing demand for crop protection that is driving the adoption of advanced agricultural surfactants globally. This information is published by Fortune Business Insights, in its latest report.
Limited Availability of Agrochemical Supplies to Hamper Growth Prospects
The lockdown amid the novel coronavirus announced by the government agencies have halted several industrial operations globally. This has led to major supply chain disruption being experienced by the agriculture sector. Additionally, the limited availability of agrochemical supplies is likely to affect the market growth leading to several problems faced by the farmers. However, lifting off some restrictions is likely to aid the growth of the market in the forthcoming years.
Agricultural surfactants are additives that are widely adopted in the agriculture sector to improve the effectiveness of the pesticides. They are further used to efficiently and effectively obtain superior crop yield and manage better crop protection. The growing demand for food is propelling the manufacturers to develop advanced agricultural surfactants globally.
