The global prothioconazole market size was USD 988.2 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 1727.08 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

A synthetic substance called protoconazole is created largely for its fungicidal effects. It belongs to the group of substances known as triazoles and has a special toxophore for its class of fungicides. Its capacity to obstruct CYP51A1, an enzyme necessary for the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungi's cell membrane, is what gives it its potent antifungal capabilities. Due to its broad spectrum of activity against numerous fungal infections of significant cereal crops, prothioconazole was initially introduced to the market by Bayer Crop Science in 2004 and immediately became well-known.

The USEPA classified prothioconazole and its metabolites as "Not likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans" as a result of extrapolating findings from animal studies1. It was evaluated by the GHS and found to be extremely hazardous to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H410).1. It has an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0.01 mg/kg body weight per day, whereas the acute reference dose (ARfD) was established as 0.01 mg/kg bw per day. The market's expansion can be ascribed to the rise in demand for prothioconazole fungicides from a variety of industries, including horticulture and agriculture. Additionally, this market is expanding as a result of rising consumer knowledge of the advantages of prothioconazole fungicides. The azole family includes protoconazole. It prevents the formation of ergosterol, which destroys cell membranes and kills cells. It is a fungus-fighting drug that is used to treat fungus infections. It functions by preventing fungus from growing.

COVID-19 Impact: Collapsed Public Health System to Impede Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden decline in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 crisis is having a negative impact on our way of life, the public health system, and the global economy. More than 3.6 million people have been affected by the virus worldwide, 250,000 have died as a result of it, and governments have been forced to take drastic action to stop the spread of coronavirus disease. Nearly half of the world's population lives in areas with limited mobility, international border crossings have been shut down, and economies across many nations have seen sharp declines as a result of the closure of non-essential companies. In order to conceal its actions, drug trafficking mainly relies on legitimate trade, as well as on individuals being able to distribute drugs to consumers. Therefore, all facets of the illicit drug markets have unavoidably been impacted by the government-enacted measures to combat the COVID19 pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Rising Global Food Demand to Enhance Market Growth"

To fulfil the rising global food demand, there is a growing need for vegetables and fruits of higher quality. During the forecast period, market growth is anticipated to be fuelled by farmers and producers' growing knowledge of the advantages of the chemical. Another important reason that will spur market expansion in the near future is the growing use of prothioconazole as a fungicide due to its qualities such as high efficacy, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. In the upcoming years, makers of prothioconazole may benefit from stricter laws surrounding the use of pesticides by various governments throughout the world.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Rising Need for Fungicides to Augment Market Growth"

Market growth for protoconazole is anticipated to accelerate. This expansion can be ascribed to the rising need for fungicides in a variety of industries, including horticulture and agriculture. Bayer use protoconazole as a fungicide. It is utilised in Bayer products to treat a number of plant diseases, including verticillium wilt and powdery mildew. The biggest producer of prothioconazole fungicides is Bayer Crop Protection LLC. Growing food demand as a result of an expanding worldwide population and rising food consumption are some of the major drivers propelling the prothioconazole market. This has resulted in an expansion of agriculture and the requirement for crop protection solutions, such as fungicides like Prothioconazole. Disease outbreaks are another problem, as fungal diseases can significantly reduce agricultural yields, costing farmers money.

"Fungicide Prosaro to Propel Market Growth"

A fungicide called Fox is used in the prothioconazole industry. Its aniline group has long been utilised as a contact applicator. Aniline's chemical composition resembles the mycelium-like fungus development on the substrate. Fox regulates this mycelium by preventing hyphal growth where it is wanted (the roots). Fungicide prosaro is used in the prothioconazole sector. The product works by breaking down the fungi's cell wall, which results in the release of cellular components including cytoplasm and nucleic acids into the media. A broad-spectrum fungicide called Xpro can control a number of fungal infections in crops. It is offered as a granular formulation or a water-soluble concentration.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Dependence On Fungicides to Impede Market Expansion"

Plant diseases seriously diminish the quality and quantity of plant-based goods. Modern agriculture is still heavily dependent on fungicides to ensure high yields and product quality, even though many aspects of agricultural practises are essential to decreasing disease outbreaks. For more than 40 years, the most popular fungicide family for treating fungal plant diseases has been the azoles, which are 14-alpha demethylase inhibitors. In order to ensure that there is enough nutritious food for a population that is expanding worldwide, efforts to decrease fungal diseases are essential. Fungicide use has become more and more important in modern agriculture in order to reduce crop losses caused by fungi.
