Germany Micro Irrigation Market Overview 2027

Micro irrigation is also known as the modern method of farming. The basic idea of drip irrigation was first traced in the 1860s, when farmers laid the clay pipes with open joints about 0.8 metres below the surface of soil in an effort to merge irrigation and drainage as the water table rose and fell during the year. This method of micro irrigation was developed by Simcha Blass, who was an Israeli engineer. Drip irrigation is known as a technique in which water flows through a filter into special drip pipes, with emitters placed at different spacing’s. Water is distributed through the emitters directly into the soil near the roots through a special slow-release device. However, on the other hand, the sprinkler irrigation system is known as a method of applying irrigation water which is similar to natural rainfall. Water is dispersed through a system of pipes, usually by pumping. It is then sprayed into the air through sprinklers so that it breaks up into small water drops which fall to the ground.

According to the report titled, Germany Micro Irrigation System Market Overview, 2027, Germany is the third largest exporter of agricultural products where one third of its produce is exported. The German nation is one of the nations that is being noticed because of its expertise in engineering and its innovative use of different techniques. The German nation has around 60.5 hectares of farmland, of which more than 5.2 lakh hectares are irrigated. Therefore, by type, the drip irrigation market size is about to dominate and grow at a rapid pace. The drip irrigation system helps farmers to save a larger number of financial savings and leads to the generation of higher revenues for them. The drip irrigation systems market is expected to grow by more than 9% in the future.

Around 80% of the land in Germany is used for farming and forestry purposes. Among these farms, the major cultivated crop is the wheat crop, which the nation exports to the European union. However, on the other hand, the market for orchards and vineyards is expected to be larger in the future with a CAGR of more than 7%. German wines are gaining more demand as Germany is also known as the 8th largest wine producing country. The vineyards are estimated to be the fastest-growing market in the future. The Germans have almost 3000 wineries, and some of the most legendary vineyards are being irrigated in order to produce the required wine. The Germans love their wine as much as they love their beer.

By end user type, which is filled up with industrial users, farmers, and the sports authority, community parks, etc. The major driver for increased market size is considered to be the farmers. Because around more than 7 lakh people work full time on the 5.5 lakh German farms and another 2.8 lakh people work part-time. These farmers use the micro irrigation system as they have some of the fragmented land. But fragmented land needs a controlled amount of water where the irrigation system proved fruitful. Irrigated land is twice as productive as rain-fed land.

The pandemic had a major impact on German agriculture inputs. The novel coronavirus had an effect on every country's household income. Farmers faced a serious issue regarding income. The unanticipated turn and downturn plunged most of the world’s countries into recession. This recession crisis has affected the farmers as well. At this stage, the greatest number of German people logged onto a national website offering to help farmers. But on one day, the German farmers also felt squeezed when the country’s Interior Ministry announced that Germany would bar all seasonal workers from entering the country, citing examinations by the public that they could bring the coronavirus with them.
