Australia Micro Irrigation Market Overview 2027

The modern method of irrigation, or the micro irrigation system, is the system by which the water is irrigated through drippers, sprinklers, foggers, etc. Micro irrigation is a low-pressure, low-flow-rate type of irrigation that is used to reduce the likelihood of overwatering a landscape. This form of irrigation delivers water directly to the required place. The micro irrigation system is filled up with many types of irrigation systems, namely drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation systems, and the bubbler irrigation system. The micro irrigation system is fruitful in saving water and increasing water use efficiency as compared to the conventional surface irrigation method. Other than that, it helps reduce water consumption, growth of unwanted plants (weeds), soil erosion, and the cost of cultivation.

According to the report titled, Australia Micro Irrigation System Overview, 2027, the market is being observed with three dimensions. The overall market, by observing all the dimensions, was valued at more than 300 USD million in the year 2021. However, according to the forecast period, the micro irrigation system market is expecting growth.

By crop type, is the packing of all the agricultural crops that are being used in day-to-day life, wherein the orchards and vineyards are stated to be the growing crops. Here, the Australians produce the fruits like bananas which are most in demand among the consumers. Aside from bananas, the vine is thought to be the most important contributor to exports. Around 693 million litres of wine are being exported in the years 2020-2021. Because it is used for grape cultivation, it is the most popular crop among Australians. The wine industry is a significant contributor to the Australian economy through production, employment, exports, and tourism. It is also predicted that the wine market in Australia will rise at a rapid pace in the future. Whereas the plantation crops like rubber, tea, coffee, etc. are following the orchards and vineyards with growth expected of more than 10% in the future years as the demand for coffee has shown a slight increase, tea is consumed by around 38% of the Australians. The end-user type, the farmers, is examined as the driver for the growth of micro irrigation systems. Farmers are expected to drive the demand ahead with an expected CAGR of more than 10%. Australian farmers and their farms are considered the major contributors to the Australian economy. Most of the farmers in the Australian region use drip irrigation because of the climatic conditions that lead to high water scarcity levels. Many regions of Australia have water scarcity.

As a consequence of droughts and bush fires, Australian agriculture has lost an estimated $4-5 billion worth of economic losses to the Australian food system. The Australian government is investing $200 million to help native wildlife and their habitats recover from the devastating impacts of the fires. The irrigation system is generally more intensive and profitable than dry land agriculture. The Australian economy uses a total of around 6.5 million mega litres of water taken from various sources, including 2.2 million mega litres from the irrigation channels or pipelines. The major driver that is being considered is the strong productivity growth that farmers contribute to the economy. The future of Australian agriculture is estimated to be increasing as it is estimated that Australian exports are to almost double in the upcoming years.

Since every factor impacts the market for any product, considering that one of the factors that impacted almost every market is the novel coronavirus pandemic, initially, the trade impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak on Australia's agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors were limited to slowing demand in China. The subsequent global spread of the virus has affected global markets, extending the scope of possible impacts on Australian sectors. The four risk factors that have been experienced in Australia’s supply chain are logistics and freight; international processors; access to labour; and government service delivery. Presently, all four elements are either not appraised to be impeding Australia's trade position or have been the focus of direct government and industry responses to ease constraints.

The approach of the report:

This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research. Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and listing out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analysing the government generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducted trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources.
