Irrigation Equipment Market Report 2026

The irrigation equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.9 billion in 2025 to $8.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government irrigation projects, expansion of agricultural land, reliance on traditional irrigation, water scarcity concerns, growth of commercial farming.

The irrigation equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.69 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to precision farming adoption, climate variability, smart agriculture investments, demand for yield optimization, digital farm management. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of drip and micro-irrigation systems, integration of smart irrigation controllers, expansion of precision agriculture practices, demand for water-efficient irrigation, growth of sensor-based irrigation management.

The growing issue of water scarcity is expected to drive the irrigation equipment market's growth. Water scarcity, defined as the shortage of adequate freshwater resources to meet regional demands, is exacerbated by factors such as population growth, urbanization, climate change, unsustainable water practices, pollution, and inadequate water management infrastructure. Irrigation equipment helps address water scarcity by optimizing water distribution for efficient and sustainable crop and plant growth. For instance, Water Resources East, a UK-based non-profit, estimated in December 2023 that by 2050, Eastern England will face a scarcity of 800 million liters of water per day, one-third of the region's current water use. Consequently, the increasing water scarcity is boosting the irrigation equipment market.

Leading companies in the irrigation equipment market are developing innovative technologies, such as anti-clogging technology, to gain a competitive advantage. Anti-clogging technology includes mechanisms or materials designed to prevent blockages, enhancing system efficiency and performance. For example, in October 2023, Netafim India, a provider of irrigation solutions, launched Toofan, a drip irrigation technology featuring TurbuNext technology. This system includes a dripper labyrinth that prevents clogging and ensures consistent water flow by removing debris from the dripper, optimizing water and nutrient delivery and providing exceptional durability and resistance to clogging.

In April 2023, Rivulis, an Indian manufacturer of micro and drip irrigation systems, acquired Jain Irrigation’s International Irrigation Business for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Rivulis to lead the global adoption of modern irrigation solutions and digital farming, creating a global leader in irrigation and climate solutions. Jain Irrigation specializes in drip and smart precision irrigation technology for agriculture and farm irrigation systems.
