South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market Insights Forecasts to 2035

• The South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of around 4.9% from 2025 to 2035
• The South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market size is expected to Hold a Significant Share by 2035

According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by strong demand in agricultural fungicides, government support for crop protection inputs, and high demand in the rubber and polymer industry.

Market Overview

Dithiocarbamates are organosulfur heterocyclic compounds with an extensive application profile in South Korea in crop protection, rubber industries, and industry. As fungicides, they play an important role in the control of fungal diseases in crops such as potato, grape, and rice. South Korea's value agriculture sector, especially greenhouse and horticultural crops, depends on effective fungicides, and as such, there has been increasing demand for dithiocarbamates like mancozeb and thiram. Yet, the market is also increasingly being condemned on grounds of environmental toxicity and residue problems, and hence, regulatory control and safer alternatives are increasingly being accepted.

Driving Factors

The demand for dithiocarbamates is high in agriculture, where these compounds have extensive use as fungicides to increase crop yield and protect against fungal diseases. South Korea's booming rubber and manufacturing sectors also utilize dithiocarbamates as vulcanization accelerators to increase elasticity and curing potential. Increased need for efficient water treatment and expanding dithiocarbamate applications as chelating agents in chemical processes also promote higher market growth. Nickel extraction employed in the production of batteries and electronics is also a driving force behind increased demand. South Korea's status as a significant exporter of dithiocarbamates also further establishes it as a market leader, underpinned by a very advanced basis of chemical production. Over the next few years, technological advancements and growing environmental regulations will prevail upon the market to steer development toward eco-friendlier and bio-based products.

Restraining Factors

The major restraint is that some dithiocarbamates are under scrutiny due to their potential health hazards and persistence in the environment. The South Korea Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety apply strict rules over residue level standards, reducing usage in certain crops. The gradual shift to eco-friendly fungicides may reduce the market share of traditional dithiocarbamates.

Market Segmentation

The South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market share is classified into product type, application, and form.

• The mancozeb segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market is segmented by product type into ziram, thiram, ferbam, mancozeb, and others. Among these, the mancozeb segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Mancozeb is the largest dithiocarbamate fungicide used in South Korea. It is used on a variety of crops such as rice, potatoes, and grapes because of its broad spectrum of activity. It is the largest marketer in the agriculture inputs market among dithiocarbamates because of its relatively low cost and proven efficacy against fungal diseases.

• The agriculture segment dominated the market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market is segmented by application into agriculture, rubber industry, paints and coatings, pharmaceuticals, and others. Among these, the agriculture segment dominated the market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Agriculture is the leading application sector of dithiocarbamates. Dithiocarbamates are included in disease control programs for open field and protected cultivation crop production systems. Their prevention action is vital in high-value crops such as orchards and vegetables, where fungus control is highly emphasized.

• The powder segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea Dithiocarbamate Market is segmented by form into powder, liquid, and granules. Among these, the powder segment held the largest market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental expansion is attributed as they are simpler to transport, warehouse, and blend with other agrochemicals. Powdered dithiocarbamates are used extensively through aerial and ground spraying in South Korea's mountainous orchards and rice paddies. Their reduced production cost, as well as compatibility with knapsack sprayer and motor-driven sprayer, enhances their demand by small and medium-sized agricultural businesses.
