Agricultural Adjuvants Market by Type (Activator and Utility), Application (Herbicides, Fungicides, and Insecticides), & Region - Global Trends & Forecast to 2019

Developing technology in agricultural chemistry has enabled farmers to engage in effective productivity management. The extensive research in agricultural adjuvants has helped developed products that aid in efficient utilization of agrochemicals: in the right quantity and at appropriate target areas on plants. The increasing awareness about agrochemicals, application equipment (tractors, sprayers, dusters, and others), and increasing commercial agriculture together have stimulated the agricultural adjuvants market.

The global agricultural adjuvants market is fragmented and significantly price-sensitive. The market in Latin America is projected to emerge the fastest and grow at a CAGR of ~6.10% from 2014 to 2019. AkzoNobel N.V. (The Netherlands), Clariant International Ltd. (Switzerland), Solvay SA (Belgium), Dow Corning (U.S.), Croda Chemicals (India), Tanatex Chemicals BV (Europe), and Helena Chemical Company (U.S.) are the largest players in the agricultural adjuvants market.
