Micro Irrigation Systems Market (2023 to 2028)

The global micro irrigation systems market is expected to reach USD 21.8 billion by 2028 from USD 12.2 billion in 2023, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028.

The micro irrigation system is an advanced mechanism to provide water to the roots of plants and uses comparatively less water than the regular sprinkler system. The primary factor contributing to the demand in the global micro irrigation systems market is the rising population and the need for more food products to meet daily requirements. There is a surge in the scarcity of water resources across the world, which is also driving the need for micro irrigation systems to optimize water delivery and reduce wastage. Also, the benefits of these systems, like enhanced yield, improved quality, accurate water control, and delivery of nutrients, are promoting their adoption in farming practices.

The spike in the adoption of new practices in agriculture due to favorable government regulations and incentives is also supporting growth in the micro-irrigation systems market. Recent technological advancements have led to the implementation of new features in cultivation like sensors, automation, precision farming, and others to boost overall efficiency and sustainability. Besides, the recent trend of global warming is hindering the pattern of seasons and resulting in uncertain rain conditions. Therefore, there is a huge emphasis on effective solutions to ensure water supply at required times and maintain water levels according to climatic changes, which is promoting the micro irrigation systems market. Moreover, the boom in the adoption of greenhouse practices and cultivation of high-value crops, irrespective of seasons, are supposed to create lucrative opportunities for the micro irrigation systems market in the coming years.

The major challenge in the micro irrigation systems market is the concerns related to initial setup costs of techniques like drip and sprinkler systems among small and medium-scale farmers. The lack of a proper power supply and rising utility costs are creating a negative influence on the rapid development of this business. In addition, the technical experience to install and operate the irrigation systems because of the lack of proper training and knowledge in farmers is also influencing the market demand. Besides, the improper maintenance of the systems, such as failure to remove impurities in emitters in a timely manner, can increase the expenses. Also, the unavailability of affordable financial solutions and flexible payments, coupled with the shortage of water distribution networks and storage facilities, is limiting the global micro irrigation systems market. Furthermore, the resistance from farmers to adopting new technologies in some of the developing nations and small and fragmented lands is also acting as a threat to the growth of the micro irrigation systems market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the micro irrigation systems market:

The COVID-19 pandemic had an initial negative impact on the agriculture sector and micro irrigation systems market due to disruptions to the supply chain and restricted logistics across the globe to distribute the equipment. The lockdown situation globally changed consumer priorities towards essentials, limiting the production of tools and equipment used in the installation and repair of these systems. In addition, the temporary shutdown of industries and social distancing measures led to a shortage of workforce in the manufacturing units. The market instability along with the uncertainty in the adoption of new processes, had limited most of the companies to slow down their investments, which affected the micro irrigation systems market. In addition, several governments have shifted funds towards essentials during COVID-19, which impacted developments in the agriculture sector. Moreover, the strict lockdown conditions and safety protocols resulted in the closure of end-user industries like hotels and restaurants, which impacted the demand for food products. However, COVID-19 also highlighted the need for healthy food products and increased the scope of greenhouse implementations to handle natural or man-made calamities and weather uncertainties in several parts of the world.

This research report on the global micro irrigation market has been segmented and sub-segmented into the following categories.

Micro Irrigation Systems Market – By Type:

  • Drip
  • Micro-sprinkler
  • Spray

The drip irrigation systems are likely to witness the highest demand in the global micro irrigation systems market in the forecast period due to their ease of use and high efficiency. In particular, the cost-affordability and effective water management solution offered by the drip systems are propelling their adoption in crop cultivation.

Similarly, the micro-sprinkler system is also estimated to increase at a significant rate in the predicted period because of the rising demand for this mechanism to offer the required insulation for crops in cold climatic conditions.

Micro Irrigation Systems Market – By Crop Type:

  • Orchards and Vineyards
  • Field Crops
  • Plantation Crops
  • Vegetables
  • Others

The orchards and vineyards segment is anticipated to witness a considerable growth rate in the market owing to the requirement for precise water supply at appropriate times to obtain better yields. Sensor-based micro irrigation systems are finding huge demand in orchards and vineyards. In addition, the field crops segment is also estimated to develop at a notable rate in the following years.

Micro Irrigation Systems Market – By End User:

  • Farmers
  • Industrial Areas
  • Government Facilities
