Driving Factors

The U.S. market for fungicides is driven by rising adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) techniques, growing consumer demand for cosmetically flawless produce, and growing protected cultivation like greenhouses. Furthermore, climate uncertainty is creating new fungal outbreaks, encouraging proactive fungicide application. Support from governments for research on crop protection and collaborations between agri-tech companies and farmers to create location-specific solutions are also driving market growth beyond conventional agricultural methods. For instance, in October 2022, FMC launched Adastrio fungicide, a new three-mode foliar fungicide that controls late-season diseases. This new product delivers essential Lepidopteran pest control that is convenient, targeted, and long-lasting on a range of permanent crops.

Restraining Factors

The U.S. fungicide market faces restraints from stringent regulatory approvals, rising environmental and health concerns, increasing resistance in fungal strains, and growing preference for organic, chemical-free farming alternatives among consumers.  

Market Segmentation

The United States fungicide market share is classified into crop type and application mode.

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

The United States fungicide market is segmented by crop type into commercial crops, fruits & vegetables, grains & cereals, pulses & oilseeds, turf & ornamental. Among these, the fruits & vegetables segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to their high economic value and susceptibility to fungal infections. Ensuring crop quality and shelf life drives the frequent use of fungicides, especially in perishable produce, to meet both domestic consumption and export quality standards.  

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

The United States fungicide market is segmented by application mode into chemigation, foliar, fumigation, seed treatment, and soil treatment. Among these, the foliar segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to its ease of use, rapid action, and effectiveness in targeting above-ground fungal infections. It allows direct contact with infected plant parts, improving efficiency and reducing crop loss, making it a preferred method among commercial and small-scale farmers.
