The global Fungicides Market was valued at USD 18.4 Billion in 2022 and it is anticipated to grow up to USD 28.4 Billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period.

In modern farming, fungicides play a crucial role in protecting crops from fungal diseases. Changes in farming techniques and technological advancements have encouraged the farmers to engage in effective pest management. Surge in pest management practices have also increased awareness of crop saving properties of the fungicides. These are used to kill the fungus spores and to improve the quality of crops. Fungicide reduces crop losses before and after harvest along with increase in crop yield. Chemical and pharmaceutical industries are the major sources of fungicides. In addition, there is an increase in the requirement of food products owing to surge in population. The losses in food crops mainly occur due to the diseases in crops during various crop development stages. There is an increase in the usage of fungicide in floriculture, horticulture, and mainly in farming to increase the yield of crops and to protect crops from several diseases. In farming, fungicides are primarily used in cereal crops.

Market Trends and Drivers

Multiple regions are agrarian economies including the majority of Asia Pacific, such as India, Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand, American countries, such as Mexico, and Central and South America. These countries are widely dependent on their agricultural output as agriculture presents a significant portion of their GDP. For such countries, agricultural produce directly impacts the nation’s economy and therefore the farming committee is constantly made aware of the benefits of using various chemicals and other products to boost crop yield with least possible crop loss.

Fungicides are one of the most commonly utilized pesticides, which kill fungi and their spores, controls blights, rust and mildews or prevents crops against fungal infections, thereby reducing damages. However, since fungicides cannot prevent crop losses against all sorts of diseases, it is critically essential to understand the cause of the disease. For instance, the substance cannot control crop losses caused due to insects and abiotic factors. Therefore, agricultural communities are constantly updating the farming committee about the use of precise chemicals for various pest management measure.

Market Restraints and Challenges

The key restraints and challenges in the Fungicides market are:

1. Stringent government regulations: Fungicides are subject to stringent government regulations in many countries due to their potential impact on human health and the environment. This has led to a decline in the use of fungicides in some countries and regions.

2. High cost of production: The high cost of production is another major challenge facing the fungicides industry. The cost of raw materials and the need for specialized equipment and skilled labor make fungicides among the most expensive pesticides to produce.

3. Intense competition: The fungicides market is highly competitive, with a large number of multinational companies and regional players. This intense competition has led to a decline in prices and margins in recent years.

4. Slow growth of end-use markets: The slow growth of end-use markets is another challenge for the fungicides industry. The main end-use markets for fungicides, such as agriculture and horticulture, have been growing at a slow pace in recent years.

Global Fungicides Market Segmental Overview

The report analyses the global Fungicides Market based on active ingredient, crop type, and region

Global Fungicides Market by Active Ingredient

By active ingredient, the Fungicides Market is segmented into Dithiocarbamates, Benzimidazoles, Chloronitriles, Triazoles, and Others. The Dithiocarbamates segment held the largest market share of xx% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Dithiocarbamates have been significantly in use in tobacco farming to control field disease, such as clue mold as well as seedbed. Ethylenebis-(dithiocarbamates) and N, N-dimethyl dithiocarbamate are the two commonly recognized dithiocarbamates that are used worldwide. Certain countries such as Argentina, Brazil, copyright, Chile, China, France, Germany, India, Greece, Indonesia, Cuba, and Colombia are among the largest consumers of dithiocarbamates for their tobacco farming.

Global Fungicides Market by Crop Type

By crop type, the Fungicides Market is segmented into Cereals & Grains, Oilseeds & Pulses, Fruits & Vegetables, and Others. Cereals and grains held the largest share of 65.5% in terms of volume in 2019. In cereals and grains, application of the substance needs utmost understanding of the disease types in order to be fruitful for both the farmers and the overall grains industry. Accurate identification of the crop symptoms enables farmers to apply precise amount of fungicides in order to refrain the spread of pathogens. Grains and cereals need constant monitoring across all seasons and understanding of cultivar resistance is considered to be the best approach towards ceasing fungal infections in grains. The use of the substance in adequate permissible quantity ensures the protection of plant tissues by controlling growth of pathogens. The two significantly followed methods of application of fungicides to cereals are through direct foliar spray into stems or leaves and by application in furrow. Spraying of the substance during stem elongation is considered to be the most effective method of application. If any pathogens are detected at an early stage, the application of the substance at that initial stage helps to prevent the spread of the disease.

Geographical Analysis of Global Fungicides Market

Region-wise, it is studied across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Europe has extensive scope for organized farming and the industry in this region is benefited by the induction of the latest technology and modern equipment. Among the various pesticides used across European countries for farming practices, bactericides and fungicides cumulatively account for the majority of the stake with 32,642,764 kilograms of substances sold in 2017, followed by other crop protection products. Increasing demand for food security in European countries is one of the key factors boosting high consumption of the product in the region.
