Sprinkler irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water that mimics natural rainfall and is commonly utilized for watering farms, landscapes, gardens, and fields. In this system, water, supplied through pumps, is dispersed by sprinklers into small water droplets, ensuring uniform coverage across the entire soil surface. Considered one of the most technologically advanced irrigation systems, sprinkler irrigation enhances efficiency in water distribution.
The primary types of sprinkler irrigation include center pivot irrigation systems, lateral move irrigation systems, solid-set sprinkler systems, and others. Center pivots distribute water along the length of the system pipes, making them suitable for gardens with single crops such as fruits and vegetables. Lateral move irrigation systems are self-propelled and ideal for irrigating large rectangular areas. Sprinkler irrigation finds applications in various sectors, including field crops, orchard crops, landscape and turf, among others. Its widespread use is observed in small, medium-sized, and large fields. Based on mobility, types of sprinkler irrigation systems include stationary and towable configurations.

This sprinkler irrigation market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The sprinkler irrigation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.11 billion in 2024 to $3.41 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing concerns over water scarcity, increased agricultural productivity, government subsidies and incentives, climate change impact, labor savings.
The sprinkler irrigation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing environmental concerns, expansion into emerging markets, regulations and water management, growing adoption of sprinkler irrigation systems in agriculture, increasing awareness among farmers aboutThe benefits of using sprinkler irrigation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include mobile app and remote monitoring, adoption of vri systems, drones for irrigation management, soil moisture sensors, automation and smart irrigation.
The anticipated increase in public and private support for irrigation projects in developing countries is poised to drive the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market. Both public and private sectors are collaborating to provide advisory services and information to address the needs of rural communities and farmers. According to the World Bank Group, an investment of $2 billion is necessary to irrigate 1 million hectares of land in southern Ukraine. Public funds, combined with private sector solutions, play a crucial role in addressing the financing gap for large projects. Therefore, the growing public and private support for irrigation projects in developing countries is fueling the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market.
The growth of the sprinkler irrigation market is expected to be driven by the increase in irrigated agricultural land. Irrigated agricultural land refers to areas that are systematically supplied with water, typically through artificial means, to support crop cultivation. Sprinkler irrigation equipment is utilized in agricultural irrigation to enhance water conservation, protect crops, and improve efficiency in water and resource management. For example, in December 2023, The Government of the United Kingdom reported that the total croppable area in 2023 exceeded 6.0 million hectares, accounting for slightly more than one-third (36%) of the Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA). Therefore, the expansion of irrigated agricultural land is anticipated to propel the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market in the future.
Major companies in the sprinkler irrigation market are focusing on developing digital water distribution systems to improve precision, optimize water usage, and enhance overall irrigation efficiency. A digital water distribution system is a technologically advanced method for managing and distributing water through irrigation networks. This system leverages digital tools, sensors, and data analytics to monitor, control, and optimize the flow of water in real time. For instance, in May 2024, the National Informatics Centre (NIC), an Indian department under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, launched a unique digital water distribution system. This innovative platform aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in water distribution from the Gang Canal and Indira Gandhi Canal. It allows farmers to access information about the status of water reaching their fields, thereby minimizing human error associated with traditional manual systems.
Major companies in the sprinkler irrigation market are focusing on developing Gen3 Precision Irrigation Systems that leverage RooTense Technology to optimize water usage by monitoring soil moisture levels in real time, ensuring precise and efficient irrigation tailored to the specific needs of crops. RooTense Technology is an advanced irrigation management system that employs real-time soil moisture sensing and data analytics to enhance irrigation precision. For instance, in April 2022, Viridix Ltd, an Israel-based company, launched the Viridix Gen3 Precision Irrigation System. This system utilizes Viridix's proprietary RooTense sensors, which mimic plant roots to measure water potential in real time. This capability allows for accurate monitoring of soil moisture levels and enables timely irrigation adjustments based on actual plant needs. Additionally, Viridix's AI software aggregates data from RooTense sensors and external environmental factors (such as weather conditions) to provide actionable insights. The AI can autonomously recommend specific irrigation adjustments tailored to individual crops, thereby optimizing water usage and enhancing crop health.
In January 2022, TriCal Group, a US-based farming equipment manufacturer, acquired Landmark Irrigation for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition holds significance as it positions TriCal Group to expand its services, increase market share, and offer a more comprehensive solution to its customers. Landmark Irrigation is a US-based irrigation equipment manufacturer.
