The most dominant segment in the mancozeb market remains the fruits and vegetables sector, with an estimated share of 40-45% globally in 2020. This is due to the heavy utilization of mancozeb in plantings of fruit crops such as tomatoes, grapes, apples, and cucurbits. Following this, the cereals and grains segment accounts for 25-30% of the market, as mancozeb also helps control diseases such as blight and rust in wheat, maize, and rice. Other crops like tobacco and cotton account for the remaining share proportionately smaller, with oilseeds and pulses accounting for 15-20% of the market.
 

Regarding application techniques, foliar spray was the most popular form of mancozeb usage, commanding an approximate 60-65% of the global market in 2020. This method is widely accepted due to its straightforward application and perceived efficacy in protecting stems and leaves of plants, unlike soil and seed treatments. The latter account for smaller shares at approximately 20-25% and 10-15% respectively.
 

The global mancozeb market is seen growing in the future. This growth is expected on account of increased agricultural activities, crop protection from fungal diseases, and the adoption of crop protection solutions. Stability in the growth of this market will be achieved due to the APAC, North American, and European regional markets, which are boom markets currently.
 

Regulatory pressures expecting changes in the future to more environmentally sustainable agricultural practices are bound to shift the market dynamics in the coming years. However, the effectiveness, affordability, and versatility which mancozeb offers makes it the most favorable product in demand.
