India Mancozeb Market – Trend Analysis & Forecast

India has established itself as a dominant player in the global mancozeb market, with production reaching 118.7 thousand tonnes in 2022, reflecting a significant 51% growth since 2017. The country’s installed production capacity stood at 121.8 thousand tonnes in 2021-22, accounting for nearly 55-60% of the global supply. Mancozeb, a widely used broad-spectrum fungicide, is a critical component in safeguarding crops against fungal diseases, reinforcing its importance in ensuring food security. The steady expansion of India’s agricultural sector has been a major driving force behind the increasing demand for this essential agrochemical.

Market Demand & Growth Factors
The widespread application of mancozeb across various crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and cash crops, underscores its role in protecting agricultural yields from fungal threats such as mildew, blight, and rust. Farmers favor mancozeb not only for its broad-spectrum efficacy but also for its affordability and ease of application, making it a practical choice for both small-scale and large-scale cultivators. Regulatory backing further strengthens its market presence, as the Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee (CIBRC) ensures compliance with safety and quality standards.

India's key production hubs for mancozeb are concentrated in states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, where established agrochemical manufacturing facilities drive large-scale output. However, the industry has experienced price fluctuations, with production costs rising in 2022 due to labor shortages and increased input expenses.

Market Opportunities Market Opportunities & Challenges Challenges
India’s growing food demand, coupled with supportive government policies promoting sustainable agriculture, presents significant growth opportunities for the mancozeb market. The increasing adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices and the expansion of horticulture and specialty crops are further boosting the demand for effective fungicides. Additionally, India’s strong position as a global agrochemical supplier enhances the export potential of mancozeb, provided manufacturers continue to meet stringent international quality standards.

However, the industry also faces notable challenges. The availability of alternative fungicides, including copper-based compounds, triazoles, and strobilurins, poses a competitive threat to mancozeb’s market share. Regulatory scrutiny remains a concern, with environmental and health considerations prompting authorities to evaluate pesticide policies. India’s 2020 proposal to ban 27 pesticides, including mancozeb, created uncertainty within the industry. However, the 2023 regulatory revisions excluded mancozeb from the ban, allowing its continued use in crop protection.

Competitive Landscape
The Indian mancozeb market is highly competitive, with major players driving innovation and supply chain efficiency. UPL Limited leads as the market frontrunner, while other key manufacturers include Indofil Industries, Bayer CropScience, Syngenta India, PI Industries, and Rallis India. These companies continue to invest in research and development, focusing on sustainable formulations and improved product efficacy to maintain their market position.

Outlook
Despite regulatory and environmental hurdles, the demand for mancozeb in India remains resilient. Ongoing advancements in formulation technology, combined with an increasing emphasis on sustainable agriculture, will shape the future of the market. As India prioritizes food security and enhances crop protection strategies, the role of mancozeb is expected to remain vital in supporting the country’s agricultural productivity. With continued investment in innovation and adherence to regulatory compliance, the mancozeb industry is well-positioned for sustained growth in the coming years.
