Nematicides Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global nematicides market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.80%, attaining US$2.796 billion by 2030, from US$1.752 billionin 2025.

Nematicides are a type of pest control agent and solution widely becoming popular in the global agriculture market. It is known as a type of chemical agent used to control and remove parasites, worms, or other types of harmful pests. Nematicides offers key applications across the global agricultural market. Nematicides are majorly used to maintain the crop health and the productivity of the plants. The nematicides also help in enhancing the yield, as they reduce the nematode population.

There are several types of novel nematicides available in the market, and various key players and manufacturers are investing a considerable sum of capital into the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly nematicides. This type of chemical agent is predominantly used to remove nematodes. To protect crop seeds from nematode infestation, small doses of nematicides are employed and distributed in the field. The nematicides are planted during the most critical and imperative stage of the plant's growth or crop. Nematicides are applied in a precise way throughout a field. In terms of plant population density, they are applied consistently.

The major factor propelling the growth of the nematicides market is the increasing demand for agricultural production across the globe, which includes crop production. It also helps in enhancing the quality of soil. Similarly, the increasing investments in the global agro-chemical sector are also expected to boost the growth of the global nematicides market during the forecasted timeline.

Global nematicides market drivers

Increasing global production of the agricultural sector

A major factor propelling the growth of the global nematicides market is the increasing global production of crops and other agricultural products, like floriculture. In the agricultural sector, nematicides help reduce the harmful effects of parasitic nematodes. Nematicides also help enhance the soil quality of the area and regulate the population of various types of soil organisms. The nematicides also help enhance the mineral nutrients of the plant and act as a food source for soil organisms.

The production of crops across the globe has witnessed significant growth over the past few years. The US Department of Agriculture, in its global report, stated that the total crop production across the globe grew significantly. The agency stated that in the USA, the total area planted in 2021 was recorded at 316.39 million acres, which reached 319.60 million acres in 2023. In the USA, the production of soybean and wheat in 2023/24 was recorded at 113.27 million tons and 49.09 million tons respectively, whereas the production of sorghum and rice was recorded at 8.07 million tons and 6.93 million tons respectively.

Similarly, in India, the production of rice and wheat in 2023-24 was recorded at 137,825 and 110.55 million tons respectively. Whereas the production of corn and millet were recorded at 37,665 and 12.84 million tons respectively during the same time period. In China, the production of corn and wheat was recorded at 288,842 and 136.59 million tons respectively in 2023-24.

Global nematicides market geographical outlook:

North America is forecasted to hold a major share of the global nematicides market.

In the global nematicides market, the North American region is expected to grow at a significant rate. The US market is growing at a supplementary rate because of the presence of various types of nematode pesticides that are impacting the growth of economic and essential crops. The country also has a higher per capita income, which is a major factor in the market's rise. Farmers in the country are adopting and investing in sustainable and environment-friendly pesticides gradually. Chemical Fumigants still hold a significant share of the market and soil fumigation is widely popular in the region. The soil fumigation method is applicable for the shorter term, and because of the substantial vitality of chemical nematicides, the chemicals are stored in warehouses, greenhouses, and others. Asia-Pacific region will also register significant growth because of the presence of major players and an immense agriculture market.
