The nematicide market is projected to reach USD 3.0 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period. The global industry is estimated to be valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2022. Nematodes are non-segmented, bilaterally symmetric worm-like invertebrates that lack respiratory and circulatory systems but have a body cavity and a fully functional digestive system. It is difficult to create chemical countermeasures against worms that infests plants. It is challenging to administer a chemical to a nematode’s immediate surroundings since most Phyto-parasitic nematodes spend their whole lives isolated to the soil or inside plant roots.

Drivers: Economic damage such as crop production losses which leads to monetary losses, caused by Phyto parasitic nematodes continues to maintain the interest of private and public research institutes
According to CropLife India, food crops are damaged by more than 10,000 species of insects, 30,000 species of weeds, 100,000 diseases (caused by fungi, viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms), and 1,000 species of nematodes, globally. The losses caused need to be contained to meet the food requirements to keep crop production from stagnating.
According to the FAO, approximately 20%–40% of crop yield is lost every year due to pest infestation. Crop pests include fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, nematodes, viroid, and oomycetes. The diversity of crop pests continues to expand, and new strains are continually evolving. The effect of global warming would increase pest infestation further, as most of them thrive in warmer climates. Losses of major crops due to fungi, nematodes, and other such microorganisms are also on the rise. The study suggests that these figures would increase due to an increase in global temperatures, increased cropping intensity, and reduced crop rotations; this will lead to an increased demand for crop protection products such as nematicides.
Opportunities: Providing customized solutions targeted toward specific pests
With the growing environmental and pollution concerns and health hazards from many conventional agrochemicals, the demand for natural biologicals is rising steadily across regions. Customers are witnessing a high demand for new biological products such as bionematicides to use against nematodes on standing crops, which cause crop damages, thereby reducing the overall farm yield and quality. One such innovative method is seed treatment, which is gaining traction due to its less or non-toxic nature, reduced cost of cultivation, and favourable effect on the yield and quality of crops. Moreover, seed treatment is targeted toward the desired pests and improve efficiency in nutrient uptake.
The use of biologicals and related alternative management products is increasing. R&D teams of major global players are also engaged in discovering target-specific innovative products by using biological insecticides, which promote organic agriculture. For instance, Crop IQ Technology announced the release of NEMA-DEAD in 2018, the world’s first organic nematicide combining chemicals and natural nematicides in a single formula. NEMA-DEAD is therapeutic like chemical nematicides and preventive like biological nematicides, with no residuals. It does not produce stress on treated plants and contains bio stimulants that help wounded bio-stimulants biotic challenges.

Lower costs involved in the use of fumigation propelling the growth of the market
Soil fumigation is a process of pre-treatment of the soil and is highly effective in controlling the nematode population. It is a phytotoxic procedure that must be applied at least one month before seeding or transplanting. Fumigation with nematocidal action is very volatile because it evaporates in the gaseous state and fills the soils empty spaces when applied to the soil. Some of the most used fumigants, which aid in the control of nematodes, include methyl iodide, propargyl bromide, 1, 3-dichloropropene, chloropicrin, and calcium cyanamide. Before fumigation is undertaken, the soil is tilled to improve the porosity and uniformity of distribution. Further, the fumigants are injected into the upper layers of the soil with the help of shanks or chisels. The fumigants must be injected deep into the soil to prevent the escape of fumigants into the surrounding air.
North America is projected to reach USD 0.91 Billion during the forecast period.
In 2021, North America accounted for a market share of 31.60 % in the global nematicide market. With the rising disposable income among the consumers in the US and Mexico, the shift toward the use of recreational services is higher, as a result of which the demand for planting turf & grasses in amusement parks, shopping malls, and residential areas have increased. Turf & grasses are majorly affected by lesion and root-knot nematodes, due to which they stop responding to irrigation. Likewise, the growing international and domestic demand for fruits, vegetables, and field crops alongside the strong focus on the adoption of organic farming is driving the market for bionematicides in the region.
The key players in this market include Corteva Agriscience (US), FMC Corporation (US), American Vanguard corporation (US).
