Triazole Fungicides Market Report 2025

The triazole fungicides market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $4.06 billion in 2024 to $4.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to disease outbreaks in crops, increased intensity of commercial farming, global population growth, awareness and education, and regulatory approvals.

The triazole fungicides market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.3 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to climate change's impact on diseases, expansion of precision agriculture, globalization of agriculture, rising focus on sustainable agriculture, and development of new fungicide formulations. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in formulations, management of fungal resistance, globalization of agriculture and trade, focus on disease forecasting and early intervention, integration into integrated pest management (IPM) programs, regulatory support for safe pesticide use, R&D for novel triazole formulations.

The increasing demand for disease management and crop protection is anticipated to drive the growth of the triazole fungicide market in the future. Crop protection encompasses the methods and practices employed to shield crops from pests, diseases, weeds, and other factors that adversely affect growth and productivity. Disease management involves various techniques and strategies aimed at preventing, controlling, and alleviating the impact of diseases on plants, animals, and humans. Triazole fungicides provide broad-spectrum activity, systemic and curative action, and effectiveness against resistant pathogens, safeguarding crop yields and quality. Additionally, advancements in formulation and application techniques have further facilitated their adoption. For example, in February 2023, the Grains Research and Development Corporation, an Australia-based organization, reported a 42% surge in demand for diagnostic activities in 2022 compared to 2021, which also saw favorable conditions for cereal diseases. Thus, the need for disease management and crop protection is fueling the growth of the triazole fungicide market.

The escalating occurrence of crop diseases is expected to propel the growth of the triazole fungicide market in the future. Crop diseases hinder plants from reaching their full potential, resulting in diminished yields and quality. Triazole fungicides are recognized for their broad-spectrum efficacy against various fungi. Farmers are likely to increase their use of triazole fungicides as part of integrated disease management strategies to protect their crops from diseases. For instance, in February 2023, the Crop Protection Network, a US-based collaborative initiative, noted that in 2022, yield losses from tar spot and Fusarium stalk rot represented approximately 50% of the losses recorded for these diseases in 2021. Therefore, the rising incidence of crop disease is 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.
