3. Market Leaders: BASF SE, Syngenta AG, Corteva Agriscience, and Bayer AG are Focusing on New Product Registrations and Acquisitions to Enter New Markets in Fungicides Market

The global fungicides market will be valued at USD 20.8 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 28.0 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. Climate change poses a serious threat to sustainable agriculture, due to its relationship with biotic and abiotic pressures. Drought, flood, heat, and salinity stress are major abiotic risks connected with climate change. Fungicides of the triazole and strobilurin families not only treat fungal diseases but also promote plant development and production under abiotic conditions by influencing physiological and biochemical processes. Fungicides are one method of preventing and controlling fungal diseases in plants. Fungi are one of the leading reasons for crop loss across the globe. Fungicides, in general, find usage for disease control during the planting and growth of a crop, increased productivity, and reducing blemishes. The availability of fungicide products, growing awareness, increase in fungi attacks, and rising pest resistance toward crop protection products drive the multiple application of fungicides, increasing fungicide consumption across countries.

Key players in this market include BASF SE (Germany), Isagro S.P.A (Italy), Corteva Agriscience (US), Syngenta AG (Switzerland), and Bayer AG (Germany).
