"MarketsandMarketsTM"Fungicides market by Type (Chemical and Biological), Mode of Action (Contact and Systemic), Formulation (Liquid and Dry), Mode of Application (Foliar Spray, Seed Treatment, and Soil Treatment), Crop Type and Region - Global Forecast to 2029
The global fungicides market is estimated at USD 23.9 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 32.3 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. The fungicides market is showing rapid growth due to increasing demand from developing countries, easy availability of crop protection products, an increase in area under high-value cash crops, growing demand for food, and an increase in global population. Amendments in the regulations regarding environmental protection laws and changing government policies across various regions are the major factors challenging fungicide product manufacturers and service providers. Various chemicals and mechanical & biological measures were looked into to check the growing population of fungi in the world. Various chemical formulae gets listed under US Environmental Protection Agency, (USEPA) for use in the commercial and agricultural fields. With concerns related to the chemical method increasing every year, the introduction of biological fungicide products has many advantages, because of which they are favored over their chemical counterpart in North American and European regions.
By mode of action, systemic fungicide to hold highest market share in the fungicides market.
Systemic fungicides have a stronger market share in the global fungicides market because of their brilliant mode of action in providing full protection against fungal diseases. The systemic fungicides are mostly absorbed by the plants and distributed in all tissues, thereby offering very effective control of pathogens that may be unexposed at the time of application. Systemic action guarantees long-lasting protection and controls a wide spectrum of fungal pathogens, hence high efficacy in managing persistent and difficult-to-treat diseases. That, coupled with their efficacy and ability to reduce the frequency of application, makes them more attractive to farmers and continues to consolidate their leading position in the fungicides market.

In the mode of application segment, foliar spray holds the highest market share in the fungicides market.
Foliar spray hold the largest market share in the fungicides market due to the fact that they have a more direct and efficient way of application. Since foliar sprays target the outside of leaves, they provide immediate protection and control against fungal pathogens, ensuring delivery of the fungicide to the most vulnerable points. This method allows for application precision, which reduces the risk of diseases spreading but maximizes treatment efficiency. Besides, the foliar sprays are versatile and can be used in a wide range of crops and growth stages; this makes this segment very diffused and holds the maximum market share.
The North America region holds a significant market share in the fungicides market
The fungicides market holds a significant share in North America because of the well-built infrastructure for agriculture and the large adoption of modern technologies related to crop protection in this region. In this region, farming practices are extensive and varied, with the need for effective fungicide solutions against a wide range of fungal diseases and high yields. The Rio Grande Valley (citrus fruits) in Texas and Mexico, California's Central Valley (fruits and vegetables), the Gulf Coastal Plain (vegetables), and the Appalachian sandy valleys are all important agricultural areas in this zone (for cotton and tobacco). Moreover, this region also houses key manufacturers of fungicides and investment in continuous research and development that fuels innovation and product availability. Government regulatory support for agriculture productivity also aids the demand for fungicides, thereby cementing North America's dominant position within the global market.
