Nematicides Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global nematicides market attained a value of nearly USD 1.48 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.00% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a value of USD 2.19 Billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

Nematicide is a term used to describe a kind of chemical pesticide used to eradicate plant-parasitic nematodes. These pesticides should only be used by skilled applicators who are aware of the hazards as they are known to be highly dangerous. These substances can be used to control nematode populations and infestations with different formulations and application methods. Nematicides are broad-spectrum poisons with high volatility and other characteristics that encourage soil mobility.

• One of the key factors propelling the growth of the nematicides market is the rise in consumer preference for organic food items. Demand for high-quality food and rising consumer buying power are some of the factors that are projected to drive the global market for nematicides.
• The rising trend of bio-nematicides due to the increasing adoption of sustainable agricultural methods is further supporting the growth of the market. There is increased focus on integrated pest management strategies and funding by governments for the creation of bio-nematicides as alternatives to traditional synthetic pesticides.
• The market for nematicides is also positively impacted by the growth in pollution incidents, increasing demand for high-value crops, increased use of diverse biological products, growing environmental concerns, and agricultural losses from insect infestations.
• Additionally, in the projection period, the use of biologicals to gain traction and the rise in demand for customised solutions aimed at certain pests, provide lucrative prospects to market participants.

Market Share by Chemical Type

In the forecast period, the bio nematicides chemical type is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate. With increased consumers awareness of the value of growing natural foods, there are now more viable farming and integrated pest management options available. This has sparked interest in biocontrol products like pheromones, bio fungicides, biopesticides, and bionematicides, among others, thus aiding the nematicides market development.

Additionally, in recent years, there has been a growing demand for biological nematicides, particularly as a result of the global adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies and sustainable farming practises. Since they are simple to use, biological nematicides have a decreased risk of application-related contamination. Bio-nematicides don't pollute the environment by leaving residues in the soil, which helps the segment flourish.

Market Share by Region

North America is anticipated to become a sizable regional market for the consumption of nematicides due to rising food demand and a reduction of arable land. Farmers are employing nematicides because of the presence of various nematode species causing harm to a variety of crops.

In the upcoming years, it is also projected that growing agrochemical and agricultural activities in the Asia Pacific region will likely provide lucrative opportunities for nematicides market expansion in the region. Due to the reduction of arable land due to industrialisation, demand for nematicides from China and India has increased.

Additionally, the market is expanding due to the increasing nematode infestations in a variety of vegetables, such as potatoes, tomatoes, peas, and carrots, in various developing nations, such as China and India. The market is further being stimulated by rising consumer demand for sustainable fruits and vegetables as well as growers' and farmers' awareness of the benefits of the applications of nematicides.
