Nematicides are a type of chemical pesticide used to kill nematodes. Nematodes are microscopic parasitic worms that can live in soil or water. Nematodes, especially root knot nodes, can cause loss of vegetables and other crops in greenhouses, home gardens, and commercial farms. Most nematicides are broad-spectrum, highly volatile pesticides. However, there are some natural nematicides that have little or no impact on the environment. Nematicides are generally available in two variations, one is fumigant and other is non-fumigant.

The major factors fuelling the growth of the global nematicides market include the growing demand of high value crops, increasing technological advancements in farming practices, and the rising losses of crops owing to pest attacks. In addition to this, the growing demand of high yielding crop due to reduction in arable land, rising crop protection and improve quality yield from limited crops, and rising governmental support coupled with development of bio-nematicides are some other factors that are expected to drive the growth of global nematicides market. Moreover, use of nematicides have less negative impact on human health along with reduced environmental side-effect, which is propelling the demand of nematicides in the market. The growing demand of sustainable agriculture products, increasing demand of fruits & vegetables and rising purchasing power of consumers across the globe are some factors that anticipated to drive the growth of global nematicides market in future. Additionally, the growing usage of biologicals around the world and rising customized solutions for specific pests are some major opportunities supporting the growth of global nematicides market in upcoming years. However, factor such as negative impact of pesticide residue on human health and lack of awareness about the consumption of biologicals are hampering the growth of global nematicides market.

Based on region, North America is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during forecast period due to the hosting of some major industry players such as BASF SE, Bayer AG, and Syngenta who actively invest on new product launches in the market itself. Moreover, the increasing production and consumption of soybean, cotton, and corn in the emerging countries such as U.S. and Mexico is fuelling the growth of nematicides market in North America.
