Water supply and irrigation systems involve methods such as sprinkler irrigation, surface irrigation, drip irrigation, and sub-irrigation to deliver water from natural sources (e.g., rivers or lakes) to a reservoir or storage facility. Water is then transported from the primary intake structure or pumping station to the field ditches through the distribution system.
Water supply and irrigation systems are categorized into types such as center pivot, lateral move, solid set, and others. Center pivot systems are circular irrigation systems used in agriculture to water crops. These systems can be stationary or towable and are utilized for various crops such as cereals, oilseeds, pulses, fruits, and vegetables, across small, medium, and large fields.

The expansion of organic farming is projected to drive the growth of the water supply and irrigation systems market in the future. Organic farming utilizes environmentally friendly methods for managing weeds, pests, and diseases. Irrigation systems are essential in organic farming as they distribute water to the roots of crops, with water being released from multiple sprinklers mounted on mobile towers in center-pivot systems. Consequently, the rise in organic farming is expected to boost the demand for water supply and irrigation systems. For instance, in May 2023, the UK's Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs reported that the UK had a total organic farmland area of 509 thousand hectares in 2022 (including fully converted and conversion area), marking a 0.4% increase from 2021. This indicates that the expansion of organic farming is a key driver of the water supply and irrigation systems market.
Increasing water consumption is anticipated to drive the growth of the water supply and irrigation systems market in the future. Water consumption refers to the quantity of water utilized by individuals, communities, industries, or ecosystems for various purposes. This includes drawing water from supply and irrigation systems to meet diverse needs and support agricultural activities. For example, in September 2022, the Greater London Authority, a UK-based governing body, reported in its 2021/22 analysis that the average daily water consumption in London was 144.4 liters per person. Thus, the rise in water consumption is fueling the expansion of the water supply and irrigation systems market.
An escalating trend within the water supply and irrigation systems market is centered around product innovation. Companies in this sector are prioritizing the development of innovative products to strengthen their market positions. For instance, in April 2022, Viridix, an Israel-based manufacturer specializing in precision irrigation systems and innovative agri-tech platforms, introduced the Viridix Gen3 Auto-Pilot system. This system represents an advanced precision irrigation solution with distinctive features, incorporating sensors for water pressure, air humidity, and temperature, along with remote watering controllers. The platform stands out for its advanced capabilities and user-friendly interface, offering exceptional efficiency through a comprehensive autonomous solution tailored for optimized precision irrigation practices. This innovation signifies a significant stride in advancing irrigation systems to meet evolving industry needs.
Key players within the water supply and irrigation systems market are directing their focus toward cutting-edge solutions such as anti-clogging technology to meet evolving demands and elevate system efficiency. Anti-clogging technology encompasses features or mechanisms specifically designed to prevent blockages and ensure unhindered operation in various systems, notably in irrigation setups. For instance, in October 2023, Netafim India, a company based in India known for providing irrigation services and solutions, introduced Toofan, an innovative drip irrigation system integrated with anti-clogging technology. This system is engineered to guarantee the efficient delivery of water and nutrients to crops. Designed to resist clogging issues commonly encountered in traditional systems, the Toofan drip line boasts being 40% more durable and 20% more cost-effective compared to conventional alternatives. This advancement presents a promising solution for agricultural irrigation, and the company has set ambitious goals to revolutionize sustainable farming, aiming to cover 25,000 hectares of land and reach 35,000 farmers across India by 2025.
