The market CAGR for copper fungicides is driven by the rising number of fungal diseases and the adoption of organic farming. The growing demand for organic food items and public awareness of the harmful effects of chemicals on the environment and human health have made organic farming a common practise during the past ten years. The need for organic inputs is rising along with the popularity of organic farming. The use of copper fungicides is common in organic farming, and they are permitted at specified quantities to prevent crop losses while leaving little to no chemical residue. Therefore, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, increased adoption of organic farming would fuel demand for copper fungicides.
Additionally, organic plant growers are frequently dependent on copper fungicides as they are the only organic products having efficiency against plant diseases, such as downy mildew and late blight, which are currently approved for application on plants. As these diseases can affect crops, disease control provided by the use of copper fungicides is critical for both conventional and organic farming operations around the globe.
Further, copper fungicides are frequently used as the first line of defense, particularly by gardeners who prefer not to use chemical fungicides. Copper fungicides might be confusing to apply, but knowing when to use them is the way to success. One of the most important causes driving copper fungicide growth is rising food demand and diminishing land. The primary factor that affects the use of a copper fungicide is the raised demand for food cultivation. The majority of copper fungicide products going off-patent would unleash a great opportunity. The adoption of organic farming and the practice of using fungal protection for crops can drive market growth. Awareness regarding the impact of chemicals and environmental regulations restricting their use on crops is likely to bolster market demand. Over the past 10 years, organic farming has become a widespread activity due to the rising demand for organic food products and public awareness of the detrimental effects of chemicals on the environment and human health. As organic farming becomes more popular, so does the need for organic inputs. In order to reduce crop losses and leave little to no chemical residue, copper fungicides are frequently used in organic farming and are allowed in certain amounts. The rising use of organic farming is therefore expected to raise demand for copper fungicides during the course of the projected period.Consequently, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, demand for Copper Fungicides will increase. Thus, driving the Copper Fungicides market revenue.
The Copper Fungicides Market segmentation, based on type, includes inorganic copper fungicides and organic copper fungicides. The inorganic copper fungicides segment dominated the market, having recorded the largest market share. This is because these products are used to control fungal and bacterial diseases in vegetables, roses, fruits, nuts, herbs, ornamentals, and turf. It is the most traditional and effective type of copper fungicide. It binds with the proteins in fungi and algae, eventually killing them. It is also used to overcome copper deficiency by foliar spraying of diluted copper sulfate.
However, organic agriculture has grown in popularity over the last decade due to the rising demand for organic foods and increased knowledge of the harmful impact of chemicals on health and the environment.
