Global Fungicides Market is Expected to Reach $16.2 Billion by 2020 - Allied Market Research

Portland, OR, November 29, 2014 --(PR.com)-- A new market research report by Allied Market Research titled, "Global Fungicides Market - (Type, Geography) Size, Industry Analysis, Trends, Opportunities, Growth and Forecast, 2013 - 2020", indicates that the global fungicides market would reach$16.2 billion by 2020, registering a CAGR of 5.4% from 2014 to 2020. High growth segments such as Triazole and Strobilurin are expected to contribute substantially to the growth of the overall global fungicide market.

Triazole, with its preventive and post infection curative property has higher consumption as compared to other fungicides available worldwide. Strobilurin is another fungicide which has wide adoption due to its translaminar capability and ability to treat broad array of plant pathogens. On the other side, interest for bio based fungicides is also growing among farmers worldwide due to growing concerns over adverse effect of synthetic fungicides on environment and human health. In the U.S., usage of the Carbendazim fungicide is banned by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2012, as it was found to cause serious health issues such as infertility and cancer. The agrochemical companies are also showing interest in new bio based fungicide innovation through research and development.
