Irrigation Automation Market to be Worth $12.7 Billion by 2030

Irrigation Automation Market by System, Irrigation Type, Component, End Use (Agricultural, Non-agricultural) and Geography - Global Forecast to 2030

Meticulous Research^®—a leading global market research company, published a research report titled, 'Irrigation Automation Market by System, Irrigation Type, Component, End Use (Agricultural, Non-agricultural) and Geography - Global Forecast to 2030.’

According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research^®, the irrigation automation market is projected to reach $12.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 16.6% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of this market is driven by the increasing adoption of smart agriculture technologies and the growing benefits offered by automated irrigation systems for agriculture. Automated systems use sensors and timers to deliver the right amount of water directly to the root zones, reducing water wastage compared to manual watering methods. The increasing government support for automated farming technologies and the growing proliferation of automated irrigation systems for large-scale farming are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for the stakeholders in the irrigation automation market. The high cost of installing automated irrigation systems may restrain the market's growth. Furthermore, implementing automated irrigation systems in fragmented land is expected to pose challenges to the growth of the irrigation automation market.

The global irrigation automation market is segmented by system (automatic and semi-automatic), irrigation type (sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, surface irrigation, hose reel irrigation, pivot irrigation, and other irrigation types [subsurface irrigation and spray irrigation]), component (hardware [controllers, sensors {weather-based sensors, soil moisture sensors, other sensors (flow sensors and capacitance sensors)}, valves, sprinklers, filters, PVC pipes & fittings, other hardware {spray heads, starter, and timers}], software [interfacing software, forecasting software, other software {real time alerts dashboards, remote monitoring mobile apps}, and services), end use (agricultural [open field, greenhouse, other agricultural end-uses {underground farming} and non-agricultural [residential, turf & landscape, golf courses, other non-agricultural end uses {education and government & public sector}]). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on system, the global irrigation automation market is segmented into automatic and semi-automatic. In 2023, the automatic segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global irrigation automation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing implementation of automatic irrigation systems, growing demand for automatic plant irrigation systems to reduce water use & save customers time, and technological advancements in automatic irrigation systems to offer unique features. This segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on irrigation type, the global irrigation automation market is segmented into sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, surface irrigation, hose reel irrigation, pivot irrigation, and other irrigation types. In 2023, the sprinkler irrigation segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global irrigation automation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing need for sprinklers or sprayers to distribute water in a controlled manner, the rising need to improve water-use efficiency and achieve higher crop yields by delivering water and nutrients directly to the plant’s roots, growing need of affordable irrigation systems, growing benefits offered by sprinkler irrigation systems such as chemical resistant, and easy to operate and transport, and install.

However, the drip irrigation segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is driven by the increasing need for the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops; the surging need for a cost-effective and sustainable solution to improve crop yields while conserving water resources; the increasing use of drip irrigation in row crops, orchards & vineyards, lawns and gardens with varying water requirements; and the need to maintain soil moisture levels in between rows.

Based on component, the global irrigation automation market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. In 2023, the hardware segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global irrigation automation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the exerting efforts by market players to design and implement intelligent irrigation control systems, surging use of valves, sprays, and sprinklers over a larger area to manage the water supply efficiently and drippers in orchards & vineyards, and vegetable gardens, increasing implementations of sensors to give feedback and information about the irrigated area to customers, and growing demand for smart irrigation controllers and sensors to reduce outdoor water use by irrigating based on plant water need compared to traditional automatic system timers, which irrigate on a user-determined fixed schedule. This segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on end use, the global irrigation automation market is segmented into agricultural and non-agricultural. In 2023, the agricultural segment is expected to account for the larger share of the global irrigation automation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing demand for smart water irrigation systems among farmers to automate their irrigation processes and reduce water use, the increasing need for cost savings due to minimized water waste, the growing popularity of IoT ecosystem for smart irrigation, growing need of consistent and efficient water usage, and rising need to increase crop productivity even in low rainfall. This segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on geography, the global irrigation automation market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2023, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the global irrigation automation market. Asia-Pacific’s major market share is attributed to the growing presence of the vast agricultural lands, rapidly changing climatic conditions, strong government support for implementing automated irrigation systems, increased need for reducing wastage of water, and technological advancement in irrigation components. Further, the high population burden and lowering water levels in countries such as India and China force customers towards sensor-based irrigation systems, which will likely fuel the regional market's growth over the coming years. In the region, various governments have started supporting the setting up of irrigation automation systems. They also promote water conservation, improving the demand for automated irrigation systems and supporting market growth.

However, North America is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this region is driven by the presence of leading market players such as The Toro Company (U.S.), Valmont Industries, Inc. (U.S.), Rain Bird Corporation (U.S.), Calsense (U.S.), Orbit Irrigation Products Inc. (U.S.), and Stevens Water Monitoring Systems Inc. (U.S.), increasing implementations of automated irrigation systems, and increasing adoption rate of irrigation systems owing to growing number of initiatives taken by government in the region for better water conservation.

Further, the leading market players are exerting efforts to launch irrigation automation systems, supporting the growth of this regional market. For instance, in February 2021, Rain Bird Corporation (U.S.) launched “Rain Bird Resources,” a free mobile app to help landscape contractors and other landscape irrigation professionals get the information they need – anytime and anywhere. Further, in May 2021, Valmont Industries, Inc. (U.S.) acquired Prospera Technologies Inc. (Israel), a global irrigation equipment and service provider for deploying AI technologies on irrigated land. Such developments are expected to support the growth of the market.
