Global Nematicides Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends, By Type (Fumigants, Bio Nematicides, Organophosphates, Carbamates, Others), By Form (Liquid, Granular), By Applications (Fumigation, Seed Treatment, Drenching, Soil Dressing, Others), And By Geography - 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 billion in 2025.

Nematicides are a type of pest control agent and solution widely becoming popular in the global agricultural industry. It is a chemical agent used to control and remove parasites, worms, or other types of harmful pests. Nematicides are used to maintain crop health and plant productivity. They also help enhance the yield, reducing the nematode population.

Several types of novel nematicides are available in the market, and various key players and manufacturers are investing a considerable sum of capital into developing sustainable and environment-friendly nematicides. This type of chemical agent is predominantly used to remove nematodes. Small doses of nematicides are employed and distributed in the field to protect crop seeds from nematode infestation. 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 nematicides market growth is the increasing demand for agricultural production worldwide, including crop production. It also helps in enhancing the quality of soil. Similarly, the rising investments in the global agrochemical sector are also expected to boost the market expansion during the forecasted timeline.

What are the global nematicides market drivers?

• Increasing global production of the agricultural sector

A major factor propelling the global nematicides market growth 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. They also help enhance the mineral nutrients of the plant and act as a food source for soil organisms.

The production of crops worldwide has witnessed significant growth over the past few years. In its global report, the US Department of Agriculture 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 316,398 thousand acres, which reached 319,602 thousand acres in 2023. In the USA, soybean and wheat production in 2023/24 was recorded at 113,273 thousand tons and 49,095 thousand tons, respectively. The production of sorghum and rice was recorded at 8,071 thousand tons and 6,931 thousand tons, respectively.

Similarly, in India, rice and wheat production in 2023-24 was recorded at 137,825 and 110,554 thousand tons, respectively. The production of corn and millet was recorded at 37,665 and 12,840 thousand tons, respectively, during the same period. In China, the production of corn and wheat was recorded at 288,842 and 136,590 thousand tons, respectively, in 2023-24.

• Growing investments in the agricultural chemical sector

With the increasing global demand for agricultural products, investments in research and developments in the agrarian chemical sector are expected to propel significantly. These investments, majorly by research organizations and governments worldwide, are expected to propel the nematicide market share during the forecasted timeline. Global countries, such as India, China, the USA, and Malaysia, have introduced key policies and investment opportunities to boost agro-chemical investments.  

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 significantly. The US market is growing at a supplementary rate because various types of nematode pesticides positively impact the 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 gradually adopting and investing in sustainable and environment-friendly pesticides.

Chemical Fumigants still hold a significant market share, 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. The Asia Pacific region will also register significant growth because of the presence of major players and an immense agricultural market.
