The global mechanized irrigation systems market was valued at USD 32.11 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 36.89 billion in 2025 from USD 112.08 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 14.9% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.
In many countries, agriculture is one of the leading sectors that have a significant impact on the economic development of those countries. Lack of proper irrigation and, thus, low agricultural production are a constant threat to the economy of those countries. With an increase in water scarcity across the world, mechanized irrigation systems became essential to deliver water with minimum losses.
The equipment used in mechanized irrigation systems comprises various components, namely spans, towers, tubing, drivetrains, control units, and sprinklers. With the construction of these components, irrigation can be done over a large area of land and deliver water efficiently. Many innovative and efficient systems are being introduced in place of conventional irrigation processes. Rain Bird is using “Pressure Regulating Systems (PRS)” in its rotors and sprinklers to guide water pressure at each head.
Water scarcity has become a major problem for agriculture as the cost of irrigation is increasing. With the introduction of mechanized irrigation systems in agriculture, the cost of irrigation has been reduced followed by an increase in productivity. The rapid increase in population leads to an increase in food demand across the world. Governments are funding the use of technology in agriculture to increase productivity. All these factors are driving the mechanized irrigation systems market. The high initial investment required to set up these irrigation systems is restraining the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mechanized irrigation systems, such as center pivot, linear move, and drip systems, automate water delivery to crops, improving water efficiency, reducing labor costs, and enabling higher yields, especially under climate-stressed conditions.
The market is growing due to increasing water scarcity, rising demand for food production, government subsidies promoting efficient irrigation, and the push for precision agriculture technologies that optimize resource use.
Center pivot irrigation leads globally due to its cost-effectiveness and wide coverage, while drip irrigation is gaining momentum for high-value crops like fruits and vegetables that require targeted water application.
Challenges include high initial setup and maintenance costs, limited adoption among smallholder farmers, technical barriers in emerging economies, and concerns about system durability in extreme weather conditions.
Future growth will be fueled by solar-powered irrigation, IoT-integrated smart irrigation management, real-time soil moisture monitoring, and innovations making systems more affordable and accessible for small and medium farms.
