Smart Irrigation Market by Type (Weather Based, Soil Moisture Based) Component (Monitoring, Controlling, Connectivity, Software), Irrigation Type (Sprinkler, Drip, Surface, Pivot), End Use, and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031

The research report titled 'Smart Irrigation Market by Type (Weather Based, Soil Moisture Based) Component (Monitoring, Controlling, Connectivity, Software), Irrigation Type (Sprinkler, Drip, Surface, Pivot), End Use, and Geography-Global Forecast to 2031' from Meticulous Research(R) provides an in-depth analysis of the smart irrigation market in five major geographies and focuses on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts to 2031.

The smart irrigation market is projected to reach $12.5 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 22.4% from 2024 to 2031.

The growth of this market is attributed to the rising need for water efficiency & conservation, the surge in government policies to promote sustainable agriculture & efficient use of water resources, and the growing demand for soil moisture monitoring in various areas, including agriculture, landscaping, and gardening. However, the high cost of installation restrains the growth of this market.

Furthermore, the increasing integration of technologies such as IoT sensors, Wi-Fi, & GPS in irrigation controllers and the increasing adoption of weather and sensor-based controllers are expected to offer significant opportunities for the growth of this market. However, the lack of proper water infrastructure in developing countries is a significant challenge impacting the market's growth.

The smart irrigation market is segmented by type, component, irrigation type, end use, and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Based on type, the smart irrigation market is segmented into weather-based irrigation and soil moisture-based irrigation. In 2024, the soil moisture-based irrigation segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the smart irrigation market. This approach utilizes sensors or similar technology to gauge soil moisture levels, enabling precise adjustments to irrigation schedules and volumes. This optimizes water usage and enhances plant health. The segment's large market share can be attributed to its affordability, ease of use, high capacity for moisture readings with continuous measurements at fixed locations, and durability. Smart sensor-based irrigation technology leverages soil moisture data to tailor irrigation strategies for diverse landscapes, ranging from small residential areas to extensively managed environments.

Based on irrigation type, the smart irrigation market is segmented into sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation, surface irrigation, pivot irrigation, and other irrigation. In 2024, the sprinkler irrigation segment is expected to account for the largest share of the smart irrigation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the growing adoption of sprinkler irrigation systems for agricultural and non-agricultural activities, growing population & urbanization, and the rising number of lawns, gardens, and sport & golf grounds where sprinkler irrigation controllers are used to control irrigation of turf and grasses.

However, the drip irrigation segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment's growth is driven by the cost-effectiveness and water efficiency of drip irrigation controllers, particularly for cultivating food crops. Drip irrigation has been shown to significantly boost crop yields, with potential increases of up to 90% compared to conventional irrigation methods.

Based on component, the smart irrigation market is segmented into monitoring components, controlling components, connectivity, and software. In 2024, the monitoring components segment is expected to account for the largest share of the smart irrigation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing deployment of various sensors for controlling and regulating the irrigation needs of plants according to soil and weather conditions, enabling significant water saving using accurate data on soil and plant conditions.

Based on end use, the smart irrigation market is segmented into agricultural and non-agricultural. In 2024, the non-agricultural segment is expected to account for the largest share of smart irrigation. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the presence of a large number of golf courses & sports grounds, lawns, and gardens, especially in developed countries, and the increased adoption of irrigation controllers to ensure adequate water supply to these areas. Smart irrigation controllers, with Wi-Fi capabilities and smartphone application management, have become increasingly popular in the non-agriculture industry. In addition, these devices can make managing one or multiple sports fields easy and water-efficient.

Based on geography, the smart irrigation market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of the smart irrigation market. The large market share of this segment is attributed to the increasing demand for lawn and garden equipment, the presence of a large number of golf courses & sports grounds, lawns, and gardens, especially in developed countries, and increased adoption of irrigation controllers to ensure the adequate water supply to these areas.

However, the market in Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of this regional market is driven by the rising adoption of modern irrigation techniques in developing countries, supportive government initiatives aimed at promoting the use of smart irrigation technologies, rapid population growth, an increasing need to enhance crop productivity and minimize water loss, and the rising awareness among farmers about the benefits of irrigation controllers.
