An irrigation controller is a device designed to use programmed information to initiate and, equally importantly, terminate irrigation. It serves as a fundamental tool for delivering water in precise quantities and at appropriate times to support agricultural productivity, promoting high levels of efficiency in water, energy, and chemical usage.
The main types of irrigation controllers for agriculture include weather-based controllers and sensor-based controllers. A weather-based irrigation controller is a device that gauges the evapotranspiration of plants using weather information. It is employed to automatically adjust the irrigation schedule to provide plants with the precise amount of water they require. Different types of irrigation methods, such as sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation, are utilized in both agricultural and non-agricultural applications.

The irrigation controller for agriculture market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.32 billion in 2024 to $1.42 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to water conservation initiatives, shift towards precision agriculture, government incentives, increasing farm sizes, environmental concerns.
The irrigation controller for agriculture market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.9 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of AI and machine learning, climate change adaptation, demand for remote monitoring and control, government support for sustainable agriculture, emphasis on water conservation. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of wireless connectivity, smart sensor integration, data-driven decision making, shift to automated systems, precision irrigation techniques.
The growing focus on water conservation is expected to drive the growth of the irrigation controller market in agriculture. Water conservation involves the protection, management, and development of water resources, including surface and groundwater, along with pollution prevention. Agricultural irrigation controllers utilize advanced technologies and networking tools to monitor, analyze, and manage water usage, thereby reducing consumption. For example, in August 2024, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a U.S.-based government agency, announced a $400 million investment in partnership with at least 18 irrigation districts to assist farmers in conserving water while maintaining commodity production throughout the western U.S. This initiative aims to save up to 50,000 acre-feet of water across 250,000 acres of irrigated land by promoting innovative water-saving technologies and sustainable farming practices. Hence, the increasing emphasis on water conservation is fueling the growth of the irrigation controller market for agriculture.
Rising labor costs are anticipated to drive the growth of the irrigation controller market in agriculture. Labor costs refer to the expenses incurred from hiring and compensating workers. The implementation of irrigation controllers can help mitigate the effects of rising labor costs by enhancing efficiency, reducing reliance on labor, optimizing resource utilization, and improving overall farm productivity and sustainability. For instance, in August 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that the average hourly wage for agricultural managers was $27.57 in 2022, reflecting a 7.9 percent increase from 2021. Thus, the increasing labor costs are propelling the growth of the irrigation controller market for agriculture.
Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the irrigation controller market for agriculture. Key players in this market are concentrating on developing innovative products to enhance their market position. For example, in February 2022, The Toro Company, a U.S.-based provider of cutting-edge irrigation system solutions, introduced the Tempus Automation system for agricultural irrigation. This system surpasses competitors in terms of range, ease of installation, and usability. It is the first in the industry to incorporate 4G/Wi-Fi/LoRa/Bluetooth technologies. The Tempus Automation controllers and measuring sensor devices, which are IP68-certified for water and dust resistance, are powered by a 9-volt battery. This design reduces the need for individual solar panels, making installation more space-efficient and system maintenance simpler and more convenient.
Leading companies in the irrigation controller market for agriculture are emphasizing product launches to boost their revenues. For instance, in April 2023, SemiosBio Technologies Inc., a Canada-based precision farming technology firm, launched the Nelson TWIG beta for automated irrigation control. This technology links Nelson TWIG's remote pump and valve automation control features to Semios Water Management Tools, enabling producers to manage irrigation systems more efficiently. A limited group of testers has access to the beta version of SemiosConnect for Nelson TWIG, which offers remote irrigation control, enhanced reporting, and other functionalities.
In June 2023, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), a Korean intergovernmental organization, partnered with the Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) to promote climate-smart agriculture in Nepal, which is connected to the irrigation controller market for agriculture. Climate-smart agriculture aims to improve resilience, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and ensure sustainable productivity. The Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) is an autonomous organization based in India that conducts agricultural research within the country.Prospera Technologies Inc. operates in the agriculture irrigation controller market, focusing on machine vision technologies for tracking and analyzing plant growth, health, and stress.
