As per our analysis report, the global fungicides market is expected to reach USD 23.96 billion by 2029 from USD 18.97 billion in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.78 % during the forecast timeline. This market is developing rapidly because of the increase in crop loss due to infections and rising food quality concerns of a growing population. Fungicides are a type of pesticide mainly used to kill the fungi/fungi spore, which restricts the growth of crops. The use of fungicides differs based on the crop type. The active ingredients in the fungicides include mancozeb, prochloraz, chlorothalonil, propiconazole, etc. Sulfur is the most common ingredient in fungicides and is very toxic.
Rising need for food security for the increasing population, increasing loss of crop due to fungal disease, increasing investment in research and development, shrinking arable land, change in farming practices are the major factors boosting the market. However, factors such as stringent regulatory conditions differ in countries, an increase in environmental pollution, and a shift to genetically modified seeds hamper the growth of the fungicides market.
