The India fungicide market size reached USD 695.79 Million in 2025. The market is projected to reach USD 976.7 Million by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.84% during 2026-2034.Grab a sample PDF of this report: https://www.imarcgroup.com/india-fungicide-market/requestsample
Rising fungal diseases from climate change and intensive cropping in grains (44.5% market share) and commercial crops like cotton drive fungicide demand, with foliar applications dominating at 61% usage. Northern states including Punjab and Haryana account for 35% of national consumption due to high-input wheat-rice systems. Government schemes like Namo Drone Didi equip 15,000 women SHGs with drones for precise pesticide application, enhancing efficiency.
Precision agriculture and bio-fungicide adoption, supported by Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana promoting organic inputs, boost sustainable demand amid regulatory pushes. Fungicide use per hectare reached 101.5 g/ha, up 5% recently from rising crop intensity and disease pressure. Launches like FMC's ENTAZIA bio-fungicide address eco-concerns while protecting yields.
Key Market Trends & Insights:
Government Support Initiatives
Government policies drive fungicide adoption through subsidies and extension services for disease management in crops like rice and wheat, combating threats such as rice blast and powdery mildew. The Namo Drone Didi scheme equips 15,000 women-led Self-Help Groups with drones for precise fungicide application, enhancing efficiency and farmer incomes.?
Biological Fungicide Shift
Farmers increasingly adopt biological fungicides using microorganisms like Bacillus subtilis to target pathogens sustainably, preserving soil health and meeting organic produce demand. FMC India's ENTAZIA launch exemplifies this eco-friendly alternative to chemicals, supported by policies promoting organic cultivation.
?
Precision Agriculture Drones
Drone-based systems revolutionize fungicide spraying with GPS and sensors, cutting chemical use by 30-40% via targeted application over fields. Government approvals for pesticide drones, amid a robust agricultural drone market, enable rapid coverage of acres while minimizing environmental impact.?
Digital Transformation Integration
Precision technologies like remote sensing, AI, and data analytics enable early disease detection and optimized fungicide use in cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Real-time crop monitoring reduces overuse, boosting yields and cutting costs through localized interventions.
Sustainable Crop Protection Focus
Rising environmental concerns and regulations spur bio fungicides and integrated pest management, improving plant resilience without ecosystem harm. Applications in oilseeds, pulses, and grapes highlight reduced synthetic chemical reliance for healthier produce and soil.
