預計到 2025 年，農業界面活性劑市場價值將達到 21 億美元，到 2030 年將達到 29 億美元，預測期內複合年成長率為 6.7%。

農業表面活性劑市場-IMG1

市場成長主要得益於精密農業設備的日益普及，例如無人機和靜電噴霧器等。這些設備需要特定的界面活性劑配方來最佳化液滴大小、減少漂移並提高田間施用效率。隨著生物農藥的推廣應用，業界正從合成化合物轉向兩性界面活性劑和有機矽製劑，這尤其受到生物農作物保護產品擴張的推動。生物農藥產品需要界面活性劑來維持微生物活性並增強吸收。歐盟的「從農場到餐桌」舉措旨在2030年將合成農藥的使用量減少50%，並正在推動低劑量施用奈米界面活性劑技術的研究與開發。市場結構的分散性為專業公司提供了透過區域性和作物特異性解決方案來獲取市場佔有率的機會。然而，不斷上漲的原料價格和日益嚴格的殘留物法規帶來了挑戰，凸顯了開發永續且經濟可行的替代方案的必要性。

全球農業表面活性劑市場趨勢與洞察

由於農藥的需求增加，農作物產量也隨之提高。

農業表面活性劑透過提高農藥輸送效率來促進作物產量，從而應對糧食安全和人均耕地面積減少的挑戰。在印度，田間試驗表明，多功能潤濕劑可在維持農藥有效性的同時，將農藥施用量降低15%至20%。巴西價值10億美元的生物投入品市場將微生物製劑與甲基化種子油結合使用，以增強其對根區的滲透性。 Bionema公司的SoilJet BSP100的田間試驗表明，最佳化後的助劑配方可使其生物功效提高30%。與天氣相關的病蟲害日益增多，促使大大小小的農場都採用界面活性劑作為經濟有效的作物保護解決方案。

精密農業的採用增加了表面活性劑的使用量

到2024年，堪薩斯州將有超過1030萬英畝的土地使用農業無人機進行噴灑，這些無人機採用特殊的兩性界面活性劑，即使在螺旋槳湍流中也能保持液滴大小的一致性。能夠將液滴沉積在葉片背面的靜電噴霧系統可減少60%的消費量，但需要添加具有特定電導率平衡的添加劑。在巴西戈亞斯州，變數噴灑技術已涵蓋100%的大豆田，農藝師會選擇pH值穩定的配方，以便在即時調整罐混比例時保持活性成分的穩定性。像贏創這樣的公司正在開發專為無人機噴灑系統設計的特種產品，例如Br​​akTrue MSO MAX 522。這些針對特定應用的需求正在推動農業界面活性劑市場的穩定成長，並支撐著其高價。

生物基原料生產成本高

生物基生產路線，無論是發酵或從植物油中提取，即使計入碳權額，其成本也比石油化學替代方案高出15-30%。陶氏化學近期將其螯合劑中間體的價格每磅上調0.10美元，凸顯了影響衍生性商品供應鏈的通膨壓力。在新興市場，小農戶擁有70%的耕地，如果沒有政府補貼，價格敏感型農民採用生物基產品可能會延遲。雖然提高酵素催化劑效率、增加反應器容量和產品特定利用率有可能實現成本持平，但目前兩年的成本劣勢限制了可再生等級產品在農業表面活性劑市場佔有率的成長。
