The global fungicides market is poised for substantial growth, with a projected valuation of US$ 29 billion by 2031, up from its current size of US$ 19 billion. This expansion represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% during the period from 2024 to 2031.
Product Overview
Fungicides, a type of pesticide designed to combat fungi and fungi spores, play a pivotal role in safeguarding crops in the agricultural sector. They are instrumental in preventing damage caused by fungal attacks, resulting in higher crop yields and improved crop quality. Fungicides also find application in controlling fungal infections in animals.
The choice of fungicide varies depending on the type of crop, with translaminar, systemic, and contact fungicides being among the available options. These fungicides contain active ingredients such as chlorothalonil, mancozeb, prochloraz, propicanazole, prochloraz, and propicanazole, to name a few. Sulfur is a commonly used active ingredient in many fungicides. However, it's worth noting that certain fungicides pose health risks to humans, and regulatory measures in different countries may impact the global fungicides market's growth, albeit moderately, in the near future.
