Sprinkler Irrigation Global Market Report 2024

Sprinkler irrigation is a method of applying irrigation water that mimics natural rainfall and is commonly utilized for watering farms, landscapes, gardens, and fields. In this system, water, supplied through pumps, is dispersed by sprinklers into small water droplets, ensuring uniform coverage across the entire soil surface. Considered one of the most technologically advanced irrigation systems, sprinkler irrigation enhances efficiency in water distribution.

The primary types of sprinkler irrigation include center pivot irrigation systems, lateral move irrigation systems, solid-set sprinkler systems, and others. Center pivots distribute water along the length of the system pipes, making them suitable for gardens with single crops such as fruits and vegetables. Lateral move irrigation systems are self-propelled and ideal for irrigating large rectangular areas. Sprinkler irrigation finds applications in various sectors, including field crops, orchard crops, landscape and turf, among others. Its widespread use is observed in small, medium-sized, and large fields. Based on mobility, types of sprinkler irrigation systems include stationary and towable configurations.

The sprinkler irrigation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.85 billion in 2023 to $3.13 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including growing concerns about water scarcity, efforts to increase agricultural productivity, government subsidies and incentives, the impact of climate change, and the realization of labor savings.

The sprinkler irrigation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.42 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a variety of factors, including increasing environmental concerns, expansion into emerging markets, regulations and advancements in water management practices, a growing adoption of sprinkler irrigation systems in agriculture, and a rising awareness among farmers about the benefits of utilizing such systems. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the use of mobile apps and remote monitoring for irrigation management, the adoption of Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) systems, the integration of drones for precise irrigation management, the deployment of soil moisture sensors, and a broader trend toward automation and smart irrigation practices.

The anticipated increase in public and private support for irrigation projects in developing countries is poised to drive the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market. Both public and private sectors are collaborating to provide advisory services and information to address the needs of rural communities and farmers. According to the World Bank Group, an investment of $2 billion is necessary to irrigate 1 million hectares of land in southern Ukraine. Public funds, combined with private sector solutions, play a crucial role in addressing the financing gap for large projects. Therefore, the growing public and private support for irrigation projects in developing countries is fueling the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market.

The expansion of irrigated agricultural land is expected to propel the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market. Irrigated agricultural land refers to intentionally and systematically supplying water to land, typically through artificial means, to support crop cultivation. Sprinkler irrigation equipment is utilized in agriculture irrigation to enhance water conservation, protect crops, and improve efficiency in water and resource management. For example, as per the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare in May 2023, India had 12,908.44 thousand hectares of agricultural land equipped with micro-irrigation systems in 2021. Within this total, 6,112.05 thousand hectares were dedicated to drip irrigation, while 6,796.39 thousand hectares were designated for sprinkler irrigation. Consequently, the increased irrigated agricultural land is expected to drive the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market.
