The surfactants segment is projected to be the largest segment in soil conditioners market during the forecast period.
Surfactants are also termed as soil wetting agents. Soil surfactants are the soil wetting agents that are designed for improving infiltration, water distribution, and water retention. Several players offer wetting agents having application in turf and agrochemicals industry. Solvay (Belgium) is among the leading player offering a wide portfolio of wetting agents having application in agriculture. Apart from this, Aquatrols (US) is also backed by a wide variety of surfactants portfolio having applications in turf and agriculture. Increase in number of sports turf in developed countries and increased demand for agricultural crops in developing countries is expected to drive demand for surfactants in the years to come.
The increasing demand for liquid soil conditioners in the South American region is projected to drive the growth of the soil conditioners market.
South American countries have agricultural hubs, such as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, which contribute to the major farm outputs in the region. Brazil is the largest producer of soybean in the region as well at a global level. It is also the largest producer of other crops such as sugarcane and other key crops at a global level. The farmers in the region have largely adopted the use of liquid soil conditioners and wetting agents, as they are easy to apply, do not require much labor, and increase the yield. The availability of arable land and the expansion of farmlands, especially in Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, promise the growth of this market. Moreover, the need to improve the per hectare crop yield is another opportunity for the growth of the market in South America.
