Moreover, the nematicidies market size in the U.S. is projected to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 608.89 million by 2032, driven by rising need to increase crop yield and quality and declining arable land in the country. 


Amplified demand for high-value crops, such as fruits and vegetables, and rising incidence of nematode infestation are leading to the increasing demand for nematode control products. Higher acceptance and appreciation of the product amongst growers in developing and developed countries are influencing the market growth trajectory. In addition, the ongoing research & development activities for the production of sustainable nematode control products are fueling the present growth scenario.


The pandemic outbreak has resulted in the slowdown of the global market due to various socio-economic changes. Similar to the conventional pesticides industry, manufacturers of nematicides across various economies face challenges due to uneven supplies of raw materials and labor shortages. The leading market players witnessed a slight decline in their crop protection product segment's revenue generated during 2020. For instance, Bayer AG, a German multinational life sciences company, saw 5% decrease in sales of its crop sciences products in 2020 compared to 2019. The shift in customer demand and low product registration due to the COVID-19 disruption drove the decline in sales.


Nematicides Market Trends


Proliferating Demand for Sustainable Agri-inputs to Support Growth of Market


Increasing environmental concerns and health problems caused due to synthetic agri-inputs have led to the significant demand for sustainable agri-inputs such as bio-based nematicides. Organic farming is gradually encouraged as an ideal substitute for conventional practice to reduce the overall impact on human beings and the environment. The favorable growth trajectory of organic farming is predicted to benefit the future growth of bio-based crop protection chemicals during the forecast period.


Furthermore, prominent industry manufacturers are focused on getting regulatory submissions for bionematicide products to meet consumer and grower demand for sustainable agricultural solutions. For instance, in June 2023, Certis Biologicals, an agro-chemical company, received approval from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation for its biologicals nematicide - MeloCon LC, specially designed to control the threat of nematodes in crop fields, orchards, and vineyards.

Nematicides Market Growth Factors


Ever-rising Demand for Food is Playing a Crucial Role in Market Growth


The growing emphasis on food safety and security to achieve a sustainable future surges the demand for food products. Agriculture is one of the most important industries in terms of meeting demand. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the global cereal utilization in 2023-24 reached 2,822 million tons, growing by 1.2% from 2022-23. Developing countries in Asia Pacific are expected to account for half of the increase in global cereal demand due to rising urbanization and rapid economic growth. However, crop production suffers yield losses due to pest and pathogen attacks, prompting growers to use nematicides to improve quality and quantity. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), annual crop losses due to nematode infestation are estimated to be around 12.3%, amounting to USD 77 million per year. To overcome this, farmers focus on increasing productivity – greater yields from the available hectare of land, thus instigating the demand for high-quality nematocides.


Rising Investment in R&D Activities to Support Market Growth


The growing focus of key players on developing innovative and new crop protection solutions has influenced them to invest in research and development, positively impacting the market growth. For instance, in May 2020, Syngenta introduced the TYMIRIUM technology platform brand. It is a revolutionary nematocides and fungicide technology developed for seed and soil applications. Syngenta's investment in innovation, such as TYMIRIUM technology, demonstrates its commitment to providing farmers with tools that help them sustainably increase production.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Environmental Risk Associated with the Use of Chemical Pesticides is Restricting Market Growth


Pesticides are regarded as one of the most important components of agricultural production. Farmers have used them for centuries to control insects and weeds that reduce overall yield. Pesticide use has increased globally as agricultural production increased, raising concerns about environmental damage and calls to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals. Without pesticides, fruit, vegetable, and cereal production would be reduced by nearly 78%, 54%, and 32%. However, repeated use of such chemically synthesized pesticides can negatively affect the environment and human health, potentially impeding the nematicides market growth.


Nematicides Market Segmentation Analysis


By Type Analysis


Fumigants to be Leading Type Owing to its High Efficiency and Volatility


Fumigants are broad-spectrum nematicide products where the active component transfers through the soil as a gas. Fumigants are not bound by soil or taken up by plants. Thus, they have a short period of residual pesticide activity and are highly effective compared to other types such as organophosphate and carbamate. In addition to killing plant-parasitic nematodes, they are effective against various soil-borne pests and pathogens. They are used to disinfect soil and reduce the risk of yield loss due to soil-borne pests in high-value crops like vegetables and fruits. Numerous advantages of fumigants are likely to support the segment's steady growth.


The bio-based segment is growing at the highest pace in the global market. The increasing popularity and adoption rate of bio-based nematocide products is predicted to be a favorable factor for market growth. The use of bio-based products is eco-friendlier and economical than chemical-based products, which is expected to increase the utilization of bio-based nematicide products in the forthcoming years.


By Crop Analysis


Vegetables to Emerged as Leading Segment Due to Rising Incidences of Nematode Infestation in Vegetables


The vegetables segment is predicted to hold the largest market share due to the rising incidences of nematode infestation on numerous vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes. Nematode-infected roots become damaged and distorted, which hamper the quality and quantity of the product. Moreover, nematodes also aggravate the harmful effects of fungi and bacteria. Hence, vegetable crop growers use nematocide products to treat nematodes and avoid product losses. The increasing farmer inclination toward cultivating organic fruits, vegetables, and cereals is expected to boost the demand for bio-based nematicide products in the coming years.


The fruit segment is expected to witness significant growth, owing to the risk of plant-parasitic nematodes on the roots and leaves of fruit crops. Several types of nematodes are known to cause extensive root necrosis in fruit orchards, which results in significant economic losses. Major nematode pests that infect the fruit crop type are citrus, burrowing, and root-knot nematodes. Thus, nematode management is important for high yields and quality of fruit production, which further propels market growth.
