Abstract The Indian pharmaceutical market has witnessed a significant rise in demand for antifungal drugs due to increasing cases of fungal infections, particularly among immunocompromised individuals and those with chronic diseases. This market survey explores the current landscape of antifungal drug usage, availability, pricing, prescription trends, and major players in the Indian context. It analyzes various categories of antifungal agents including azoles, polyenes, echinocandins, and allylamines, with a focus on commonly used medications such as fluconazole, itraconazole, amphotericin B, and terbinafine. Data was collected through retail pharmacy visits, doctor interviews, and online pharmaceutical portals. The findings indicate a growing reliance on generic formulations due to affordability and accessibility, with urban centers showing higher demand for systemic antifungals. Challenges such as self-medication, drug resistance, and lack of awareness in rural areas are also addressed. The study concludes with recommendations for rational use, need for public health education, and better regulatory control to enhance the efficacy and accessibility of antifungal treatment in India
