Increasing global agricultural demand
The rising demand for agricultural products is expected to boost the growth of the copper hydroxide market during the forecast period. Copper hydroxide is widely used as a fungicide to protect crops against numerous fungal diseases, such as fruits, vegetables, and cereal crops. The rising cases of fungal diseases among crops can be attributed to various factors such as the emergence of invasive fungal species, climate change (higher temperatures and humidity), and agricultural practices like monoculture.
The increasing global food consumption has led to an increase in the need for higher crop yields and quality, accelerating the adoption of copper hydroxide as a crop protection solution. The effective control of fungal diseases that affect crops is important for meeting the rising food demand globally, fuelled by the rapid surge in population. Regions with expanding agricultural activities, such as Latin America and the Asia-Pacific, are experiencing the rising demand for copper hydroxide. Therefore, the rising agricultural demand increases the need for stronger fungal resistance in crops.
Rising environmental and health concerns
The increasing environmental and health concerns are anticipated to hamper the market's growth. The excessive use of copper hydroxide in soil and water often increases the risk of harming ecosystems, as well as compelling regulatory bodies like the EPA and ECHA to implement stringent guidelines on the usage of copper hydroxide. Prolonged exposure to copper hydroxide can pose health risks to workers, such as skin irritation and respiratory issues. Moreover, the availability of alternatives like copper oxychloride and synthetic fungicides offer similar efficacy at lower costs, is likely to limit the expansion of the global copper hydroxide market.
