Segment Analysis

By Application Mode: Foliar Dominance Drives Innovation

Foliar treatments held 58% of the South America fungicides market in 2024 on account of their flexibility to tackle multiple pathogens in real time. Seed treatment occupies a smaller base but is the fastest rising at a 4.29% CAGR. The method's popularity stems from its cost-effectiveness and precise application capabilities, particularly in controlling diseases in pulses and oilseeds, where it has shown remarkable effectiveness against pathogens like Asian soybean rust and other foliar diseases. The segment's strength is further reinforced by its versatility across various crop types and its ability to provide both preventive and curative actions against fungal infections, making it a crucial plant protection chemical. 

The foliar segment is projected to grow steadily because growers see quick, visible returns on investment during critical flowering stages. By contrast, seed treatment growth comes from long-term integrated pest protocols that combine fungicides with inoculants and micronutrients. The segment's expansion is further supported by the adoption of precision agriculture practices and the growing recognition of seed treatment's role in protecting seeds and young plants from diseases originating from seeds and soil. The effectiveness of seed treatment in preventing early-stage infections and improving crop emergence rates continues to drive its adoption across various crop types, solidifying its role as a key agricultural pesticide. 

Drone-optimized suspension concentrates and ultra-low-volume formulations underpin next-generation foliar demand. Brazilian operators achieving 15% cost reductions compared to traditional ground-based equipment while improving coverage uniformity across uneven terrain..[2]Source: Brazilian Agricultural Aviation Association, “Drone Application Technology Report 2024,” sindag.org.br Soil treatment is gaining ground in Chilean vineyards and Colombian coffee estates where root rot pathogens threaten perennial assets. Chemigation retains niche relevance in drip-irrigated orchards, while fumigation remains confined to high-value greenhouse production.

By Crop Type: Oilseeds Leadership Faces Diversification

Pulses and oilseeds accounted for 45.8% of revenue in 2024, largely due to Brazil’s vast soybean acreage that depends on multi-spray rust control. Meanwhile, fruits and vegetables are forecast to expand at a 4.44% CAGR as Chile and Peru push export-oriented blueberry, avocado, and table-grape production. This significant market share is primarily driven by the extensive cultivation of soybeans across major agricultural nations like Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Asian soybean rust alone can take away up to 80% yield if unmanaged, meaning growers often invest in combinations of triazoles, strobilurins, and SDHIs. The segment's prominence is further reinforced by the crops' high susceptibility to various fungal diseases, particularly the devastating Asian soybean rust, which can cause yield losses of up to 90%. 

The fruits and vegetables segment is driven by increasing demand for high-quality fresh produce in both domestic and international markets. It will benefit from premium price incentives that offset higher per-hectare input costs. The segment's growth is particularly notable in crops such as tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, onions, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, as well as various fruits including citrus, stone fruits, and tropical varieties. The expansion is further fueled by the rising prevalence of fungal diseases such as Alternaria solani, Septoria leaf blight, angular leaf spot, powdery mildew, fruit rot, and downy mildew, which necessitate effective fungicide applications. The segment's growth is also supported by intensive cultivation practices and the increasing adoption of advanced fungicide application technologies to ensure optimal crop protection and yield enhancement. 

Grains and cereals carry steady but slower demand tied to wheat scab and corn leaf blight management in Argentina’s Pampas. Turf and ornamental care is emerging as municipal green-space budgets climb, though volume is still modest. As diversification continues, suppliers are segmenting portfolios to match residue thresholds and pre-harvest interval requirements for each crop.

Geography Analysis

Brazil dominated the South America fungicides market with an 81.6% share in 2024, while Chile is the fastest-growing market at a projected 5.79% CAGR. Brazil is supported by 38 million hectares of soybeans and another 24 million hectares of corn that require intensive in-season treatments. Expedited approvals under Law 14.785 and local manufacturing capacity in São Paulo and Paraná buffer growers against global supply turmoil. Precision spraying tools and real-time disease alerts from satellite imagery are mainstream among large farming groups in Mato Grosso and Goiás. Rapid uptake of carbon-linked subsidy programs further encourages adoption of combination fungicides that preserve yield potential and sequestered soil carbon. 

Argentina is leveraging the Pampas region’s deep soils for soybean and wheat output. Although currency swings hamper input purchasing power, cooperative hedging and government-backed credit lines sustain disease-control spending. Variable-rate applicators and drone surveillance help growers maintain high efficacy despite large field sizes. The government is aligning its registration pathways with Brazil, which will likely shorten time-to-market for new formulations by 2027.

Chile is fueled by fruit exporters racing to meet stricter European and North American residue regulations. Blueberry acreage in Biobío and Maule continues to expand, each harvest requiring multiple protective sprays against Botrytis and powdery mildew. Producers increasingly favor biofungicides and copper-based solutions, and they integrate weather-based forecasting to trim unnecessary applications. Colombia and Peru round out the core markets, each investing in coffee rust control and high-value vegetable exports. Harmonized Mercosur guidelines promise smoother cross-border registrations, allowing manufacturers to amortize data packages over several national markets.
