Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand for Agricultural Chemicals

  • Agriculture relies heavily on chemical pesticides for the eradication of plant pathogens, chemical fertilizers to improve soil fertility, and chemical surfactants in agrochemical formulations. Bio-surfactants are being replaced in the current times, due to several health hazards, owing to the usage of synthetic chemical-based products.
  • Bio-surfactants, owing to their properties, such as emulsification, foaming, dispersion, wetting, penetrating, thickening, microbial growth enhancement, and antimicrobial, are used in a wide number of applications in the agriculture sector.
  • Bio-surfactants are generally produced by bacteria, yeasts, and fungi, and they act as green surfactants. Due to their less toxic and eco-friendly nature, they are used in agricultural applications.
  • Bio-surfactants are used to improve soil quality by soil remediation. They act as mobilizing agents and enhance the solubility of bio-hazardous chemical compounds. In addition to this, bio-surfactants help microbes to absorb soil particles occupied by pollutants.
  • Moreover, they are also used for hydrophilization of heavy soils, in order to achieve good wettability and also in even distribution of fertilizers in the soil. They also prevent fertilizers from caking during storage.
  • Asia-Pacific region dominate the agriculture sectpr acrss the globe owing to the increasing agriculture activity in the countries such as China and India.
  • As of FY 2019, the agrochemical industry volume was accounted for about 1,442 kilotons in India and reached about 1,483 kilotons in FY 2020, with a growth rate of about 2.8%, which in turn stimulates the demand for the bio-surfactants market.
  • The rapid growth of the agricultural chemicals due to growing population and declining arable land, in order to feed the resultant population is further expected to impact the demand for bio-surfactants in the coming years.
