The global micro irrigation systems market reached US$ 10,896.9 million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ 28,953.4 million by 2030. The market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Micro irrigation systems reduce water waste and soil erosion, and increase crop yields without excessive water. Moreover, technological developments in data analytics will encourage adoption among small-scale farmers and larger corporate farming operations. Compared to the traditional surface watering system, the micro irrigation system is more efficient at conserving water and using it more effectively.
Greenhouses are mostly equipped with micro irrigation systems in which drip irrigation is the most common method. Many state governments in the country are giving subsidies for the construction of greenhouses. In greenhouses, various types of micro irrigation techniques are used for irrigation such as drip irrigation systems, sprinkler irrigation systems, bubbler irrigation, and sub-surface irrigation. These irrigation techniques are used to increase the annual production of the crops and provide effective irrigation to the crAn increaserease in government subsidies for greenhouses also helps to increase the number of greenhouses across the world. As greenhouse adoption increases, the demand for micro irrigation systems also increase.
For any micro irrigation system, energy cost plays a major market growth criterion and reduction in energy saving is a major hurdle in the micro irrigation system as with increment in energy saving, the cost of the product increases. Irrigating with a sprinkler system, which needs a water pressure of 60 psi, costs about US$ 223 or US$ 44.60 per acre in energy expenditures. Irrigating an acre with a drip irrigation system costs about US$ 53, or US$ 10.60, with a water pressure of 10 psi, saving 76%. High maintenance, energy, and logistics costs of micro irrigation systems hamper the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the market. One of the key players in the micro irrigation systems market, Valmont Industries reported a decrease in its net sales in the second quarter that ended June 27, 2020. Net sales of US$ 688.8 million declined by 1.7%. Under the irrigation segment of the company, global sales of US$ 150.6 million decreased by 3.0%. The COVID-19 affected the agriculture sector in developing countries. Greek drip irrigation manufacturers faced a reduction in production by 30% during COVID-19. The manufacturers got only export orders and they are facing a 35% drop in national orders. Global drip irrigation manufacturers who had a branch in Europe got 5-10% fewer orders according to their expectations. They received orders from the distributors but 20% less than their forecast. All the irrigation equipment manufacturers agreed that there is a 20-50% decline in their normal turnover.
The global micro irrigation system market is segmented based on component, application, type, cultivation technology, end-user and region.
Micro irrigation systems is segmented by component as valves, pressure pumps, emitters/drippers, fitting & accessories, filters & fertilizers injectors, drip mainlines/drip tubes and others.
Emitters/drippers segment in the global micro irrigation systems market was valued at US$ 1,269.4 million in 2022 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.4% over the forecast period to reach a market value of US$ 3,223.7 million by 2030. An increase in the innovative product launches by major key players boost the segment growth. For instance, in October 2021, Netafim launched Streamline X ReGen and NetBow. The first dripline made with the highest caliber of recycled material to be introduced in Europe is Streamline X ReGen. As part of its global sustainability action plan, Netafim invested millions of dollars over the past ten years to add recycled materials to drip lines.
By region, the global micro irrigation systems market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
The North America micro irrigation systems market was valued at US$ 2,814.5 million in 2022 and is likely to reach US$ 7,523.5 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.1% during 2023-2030. Many areas of the United States are highly irrigated and are regarded as having a water shortage. Farmers can use irrigation methods and water-saving techniques to better manage freshwater, a naturally scarce resource. Farmers in the region may also be able to prevent over-irrigation by using techniques like irrigation scheduling. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, farmers can save more than 25,000 gallons of water annually by installing a micro irrigation system as opposed to a conventional system.
The major global players include: Jain Irrigation Systems Limited, Netafim Limited, Lindsay Corporation, The Toro Company, Deere & Company, Rivulis, Harvel Agua India Private Limited, Mahindra EPC, Nelson Irrigation Corporation, and Rain Bird Corporation.
