Biological fungicides or biofungicides comprise beneficial microorganisms that are used to control fungal diseases. Many of these beneficial microorganisms are naturally found in the soil. Biofungicides are mostly used before the occurrence of disease. Their efficiency increases if used in combination with good agricultural practices. 

Biofungicides have different modes of action, such as competition/exclusion, antibiosis, parasitism, induced resistance, and plant growth promotion. Also, the over-use of chemical fungicides has harmful effects on the environment and thus, the fungicides market for biologicals is projected to grow at a higher CAGR from 2019 to 2025.

Fungal infections contribute significantly to post-harvest losses in crops. The method is designed to reduce the amount of fungicides used and problems related to wastewater disposal. Fruits & vegetables are largely damaged after harvest by fungi and bacteria. Many chemicals are used as a spray or dip. Post-harvest fungicides are most frequently applied as aqueous suspensions.

The increasing agricultural practices and the requirement of high-quality agricultural produce are factors that are projected to drive the fungicides market growth in this region. Major crops produced in Asia include rice, sugar beet, fruits & vegetables, cereals, and grains. The region consumes 90% of the global rice produced. According to the FAO, the demand for rice is projected to increase by 2025, as in the majority of the Asian countries, rice consumption is expected to increase faster than the population growth. In addition, due to population growth, the demand for rice is projected to increase in the coming decades.   


Key players in this market include BASF SE (Germany), Bayer AG (Germany), Corteva, Inc. (US), Syngenta AG (Switzerland), FMC Corporation (US), and UPL Ltd. (India). These major players in this market are focusing on increasing their presence through expansions & investments, mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, and agreements. These companies have a strong presence in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. They also have manufacturing facilities and strong distribution networks across these regions.
