With the advancement of precision agriculture and environmental protection policies, the agricultural organosilicon surfactant market is experiencing rapid growth. It is predicted that the global market will grow at a CAGR of 5% from 2025 to 2031, with the Chinese market growing at an even faster rate of over 9%, becoming a core engine of global growth, and the contribution of demand from the agricultural sector continues to rise.
Technological innovation is driving product iteration and upgrades, with current mainstream products achieving breakthroughs in functional diversification. Polyether-modified trisiloxane products have become mainstream due to their stable performance, functioning effectively in neutral environments for extended periods. Some high-end products can reduce surface tension to 20.5 mN/m, exhibiting lower biotoxicity and greater safety for crops. Leading companies are improving product purity through process innovation, employing microchannel reaction technology, and developing AI-assisted formulation systems to optimize hydrophilic-lipophilic balance.
Future development focuses on two main directions: first, greening, with accelerated development of biodegradable products to meet environmental requirements such as the EU REACH regulation; second, localization, with domestic companies expanding their market share through cost-effectiveness advantages, and brands such as Jiangsu Meiside continuously increasing their market share in overseas farmlands. With the development of large-scale and intelligent agriculture, agricultural organosilicon surfactants will play a more important role in water-saving agriculture and green planting, contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture.
