The Global Nematicides Market is projected to exceed USD 4.28 Billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% from 2022 to 2032. The market of nematicides is expanding rapidly due to rising demand in countries that are developing, easy availability of products for crop protection, increased area under high-value cash crops such as vegetables and fruit, and rising demand for food products due to rising population.

 

Market Overview

The nematicides market refers to the agricultural chemicals used to control plant-parasitic nematodes, which are microscopic roundworms that can damage crops and reduce yields. Nematicides are typically applied to the soil before planting or during the growing season to protect crops from nematode damage. The use of nematicides has become an essential practice for farmers worldwide, particularly in areas with high nematode populations. The global nematicides market is expected to grow in the coming years due to increasing demand for food production, especially in emerging economies, coupled with the rise in nematode infestations. The market is highly competitive, with numerous global and regional players vying for market share.

 

Key players in the global nematicides market include Syngenta AG, BASF SE, Bayer CropScience AG, FMC Corporation, Adama Agricultural Solutions Ltd., DowDuPont Inc., and Nufarm Limited. These companies focus on expanding their product portfolios, investing in research and development, and forming strategic partnerships and collaborations to gain a competitive edge in the market.

 

For instance, in December 2022, BioConsortia Inc. disclosed the results of its 2022 field trials for nematicide seed treatment products. The data show that BioConsortia's R&D platform consistently delivers a strong pipeline of microbial product leads that boost yields in a wide range of crops, such as vegetables, maize, wheat, and soybeans.

 

North America is the largest market for nematicides, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to experience the highest growth rate due to the rising demand for food and the increasing awareness about crop protection.

Driving Factors

As the world's population continues to grow, there is a need to produce more food to feed the growing population. Nematodes can cause significant damage to crops, leading to reduced yields and economic losses for farmers. The use of nematicides has become an essential practice for farmers worldwide, particularly in areas with high nematode populations.

 

The expansion of agricultural land and increased crop intensification has led to higher nematode infestations, further driving the demand for nematicides. The intensification of agriculture involves planting crops more frequently, which can lead to an increase in nematode populations. In addition, climate change has led to changes in temperature and rainfall patterns, which can also lead to increased nematode populations.

 

Another driver of the global nematicides market is the increasing trend toward sustainable agriculture. Farmers and consumers are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of conventional agriculture practices, including the use of chemical pesticides. This trend has led to the development of new, safer nematicides with lower toxicity to humans and the environment. These newer nematicides are becoming increasingly popular among farmers.

 

Restraining Factors

The high cost of nematicides is major significant restraint for the market. Nematicides are often expensive to produce, which can make them unaffordable for small farmers in developing countries. The high cost of nematicides has also led to the development of cheaper, less effective alternatives, such as using crop rotation and cover crops to manage nematode populations.

 

The increasing availability of nematode-resistant crops is another challenge for the nematicides market. Farmers are increasingly turning to genetically modified crops that are resistant to nematode infestations, which can reduce the demand for nematicides. However, the development of nematode-resistant crops is still in its early stages, and the technology is not yet widely available for all crop types.

 

The volatility of commodity prices is another factor that could restrain the growth of the nematicides market. The price of crops can vary significantly based on global supply and demand factors, weather conditions, and other factors beyond the control of farmers. As a result, farmers may be hesitant to invest in expensive nematicides when the economic returns are uncertain.

 

Market Segmentation

 

The Global Nematicides Market share is differentiated into type, nematode type, and mode of application.

• The chemical nematicides segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the global nematicides market over the projected period.

Based on the type, the global nematicides market is segmented into chemical and biologicals. Among these, the chemical nematicides segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the global nematicides market over the projected period. Chemical nematicides have been the dominant segment of the market for many years due to their effectiveness and availability. Chemical nematicides have a quick mode of action and can provide long-lasting protection against nematode infestations. Chemical nematicides are formulated with active ingredients that are toxic to nematodes. These active ingredients may include carbamates, organophosphates, fumigants, and others. Some of the commonly used chemical nematicides include aldicarb, carbofuran, fenamiphos, oxamyl, and methyl bromide. These chemicals work by disrupting the nervous system of nematodes, leading to paralysis and death.

 

• The cyst segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global nematicides market over the forecast period.

On the basis of nematode type, the global nematicides market is segmented into cyst, root-knot, lesion. Among these, the cyst segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global nematicides market over the forecast period. The high economic impact of cyst nematodes on crop yields drives the cyst nematodes segment of the global nematicides market. Abamectin, carbofuran, and fenamiphos are some of the most commonly used nematicides for cyst nematode control. Cyst nematodes are soil-borne nematodes that cause severe damage to a wide range of crops, including potatoes, soybeans, and cotton. They have a complex life cycle that involves hatching from eggs, infecting plant roots, and forming protective cysts that contain several eggs. 

 

• The soil dressing segment of the global nematicides market is expected to hold the largest share over the forecast period.

Based on the form, the global nematicides market is segmented into seed treatment, drenching, soil dressing, and fumigation. Among these, the soil dressing segment of the global nematicides market is expected to hold the largest share over the forecast period. The soil dressing segment of the global nematicides market is driven by the ability to apply nematicides to large areas of soil quickly and efficiently. Soil dressing involves applying nematicides to the soil surface and mixing them into the topsoil. This method is commonly used for crops such as potatoes, sugar beets, and other root crops. Some of the commonly used nematicides for soil dressing include carbofuran and fosthiazate.
