Triazole Fungicides Global Market Report 2024

The triazole fungicides market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.87 billion in 2023 to $4.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including disease outbreaks affecting crops, the heightened intensity of commercial farming practices, the steady rise in global population, increased awareness, education, and the necessary regulatory approvals. These elements collectively contributed to the growth experienced within that timeframe.

The triazole fungicides market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.92 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by various factors, notably the impact of climate change on disease patterns, the continual expansion of precision agriculture practices, the globalized nature of agricultural activities, an increasing emphasis on sustainable agricultural methods, and the ongoing development of innovative fungicide formulations. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements in formulation methodologies, enhanced strategies for managing fungal resistance, the continued globalization of agricultural trade and practices, a heightened focus on disease forecasting and early intervention measures, integration within integrated pest management (IPM) programs, regulatory backing for safe pesticide utilization, and substantial research and development efforts aimed at pioneering novel formulations within the triazole category. These trends collectively contribute to the projected growth within this period.

The demand for disease management and crop protection is anticipated to be a significant driver for the growth of the triazole fungicide market in the future. Crop protection involves employing methods and practices to shield crops from pests, diseases, weeds, and other factors detrimental to their growth and productivity. Disease management encompasses various techniques to prevent, control, and mitigate the impact of diseases on plants, animals, and humans. Triazole fungicides, known for their broad-spectrum activity, systemic and curative action, and effectiveness against resistant pathogens, play a crucial role in safeguarding crop yields and quality. Ongoing advancements in formulation and application techniques have further contributed to their widespread adoption. As highlighted in June 2021 by the Food and Agriculture Organization, an Italy-based specialized agency of the United Nations, approximately 40% of global crop production is annually lost due to pest damage. Additionally, plant diseases alone incur a cost of around $220 billion to the global economy annually, with invasive insects causing losses amounting to approximately $70 billion. Consequently, the imperative for disease management and crop protection is a key factor propelling the growth of the triazole fungicide market.

The increasing prevalence of crop diseases is poised to drive the expansion of the triazole fungicide market. Crop diseases hinder plants from reaching their maximum potential, resulting in diminished yields and quality. Triazole fungicides, renowned for their broad-spectrum activity against a diverse array of fungi, are expected to witness heightened usage as farmers incorporate them into integrated disease management strategies to protect their crops. Citing data from June 2021 by the National Library of Medicine, operated by the United States, crop pests and diseases cause substantial mean yield losses in key food crops. Wheat, rice, maize, potato, and soybean face notable percentage losses, underscoring the urgency of effective measures to address crop health issues and ensure global food security. Thus, the escalating incidence of crop diseases emerges as a significant catalyst driving the growth of the triazole fungicide market.

The triazole fungicide market is currently witnessing a significant trend towards product innovation, with major companies actively incorporating new technologies to maintain their competitive positions. An illustrative example is BASF SE, a Germany-based chemicals company, which, in December 2022, introduced Revysion, a groundbreaking fungicide developed over an 11-year period with a substantial investment of €250 million. As a member of the triazole family, Revysion represents a notable advancement over conventional fungicides. Formulated with the active substance Revysol, it features a flexible molecule that adapts well to fungal enzymes, ensuring high efficacy and a broad spectrum of action. This fungicide targets various fungal diseases affecting crops such as grapes, apple trees, pear trees, and stone fruit. The product launch, held in Italy, showcased the extensive research process involving experts from the fruit sector. Revysion, the only fully approved triazole fungicide under EU regulations, highlights BASF's innovative approach, prioritizing regulatory compliance before evaluating efficacy. This product offers farmers an advanced solution for effective disease management across various crops.

Major players in the triazole fungicide market are embracing innovative technologies to maintain their market positions. The integration of cutting-edge technologies in triazole fungicides enhances precision, sustainability, and overall effectiveness, providing farmers with valuable tools for disease management and contributing to the industry's growth. A case in point is FMC Corporation, a US-based chemicals company, which, in November 2022, launched a new foliar fungicide with three modes of action targeting late-season diseases – Adastrio Fungicide. Designed for crops such as corn, wheat, and barley, Adastrio offers broad-spectrum control against key foliar diseases. With a wide application window, low use rate (7-9 fl. oz./A.), and long-lasting residual control, Adastrio aims to provide flexibility, efficiency, and stress tolerance benefits for plant health. This product exemplifies the industry's commitment to innovation and sustainability, reinforcing its position in the dynamic triazole fungicide market.

In May 2022, UPL Limited, a leading Indian chemical industry company, completed the acquisition of OptiCHOS, a naturally-derived fungicide, from BioCHOS. The financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed. UPL acquired OptiCHOS as part of its strategic expansion in the natural plant protection (NPP) sector. The NPP division intends to introduce products featuring OptiCHOS within the coming years. BioCHOS, based in Norway, specializes in plant protection products.
