Agricultural Surfactants Market by Type (Anionic, Nonionic, Cationic, and Amphoteric), Applications (Herbicides, Insecticides, Fungicides, and Others), Substrate Type (Synthetic and Bio-based), and by Region - Global Forecasts to 2020

The base year considered for the report is 2014, the historical year is 2013, and the forecast year is from 2015 to 2020.

This report includes estimations of market sizes for value (USD million) and volume (KT). Both top-down and bottom-up approaches have been used to estimate and validate the size of the global agricultural surfactants market and to estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets in the overall market. Key players in the market have been identified through secondary research, and their market shares in their respective regions have been determined through primary and secondary research. All percentage shares, splits, and breakdowns have been determined using secondary sources and were verified through primary sources.

This report provides both qualitative and quantitative analyses of the agricultural surfactants market, the competitive landscape, and the preferred development strategies of key players. The key players preferred new product development, joint ventures, agreements, expansions, and acquisitions as preferred strategies to gain a larger share in the market. The report also analyzes the market dynamics and issues faced by leading players.

The report is targeted toward the existing players in the industry, which include chemical manufacturers, agrochemical manufacturers, agriculture associations, biostimulant manufacturers, and research institutions. Key participants in the supply chain of agricultural surfactants are raw material suppliers, government bodies, distributors, and end users such as farmer cooperatives and associations.

Leading players that offer agricultural surfactants to the company’s manufacturing agrochemicals with surfactant formulations are also considered in the report, such as, BASF SE (Germany), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Akzonobel N.V (The Netherlands), Evonik Industries (Germany), and Solvay S.A (Belgium).

“The study answers several questions for stakeholders, primarily which market segments to focus on in the next two to five years for prioritizing efforts and investments.”
