Smart Irrigation Global Market Report 2024

Smart irrigation involves a technique that calculates the irrigation needs of a landscape using meteorological or soil moisture data. By analyzing weather information or measuring soil moisture, this approach determines the optimal irrigation requirements for the landscape. Smart irrigation solutions enhance efficiency by reducing water waste while ensuring the health and quality of plants.

The main types of smart irrigation are climate-based and sensor-based. Climate-based smart irrigation involves devices and services provided by entities manufacturing climate-based controllers that utilize local weather data. These controllers, also known as evapotranspiration controllers, gather local weather information to make irrigation run-time adjustments, ensuring the landscape receives the appropriate amount of water. Various technologies, including evapotranspiration and soil moisture, are employed, utilizing components such as sensors, controllers, water flow meters, software, and others. Smart irrigation is applied in sectors including agriculture, golf courses, residential areas, and others.

The smart irrigation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.61 billion in 2023 to $1.87 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as water scarcity, environmental concerns, the adoption of precision agriculture practices, government regulations related to water usage, and the trends of urbanization and landscaping. These factors have collectively contributed to the increased demand and adoption of smart irrigation solutions.

The smart irrigation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.36 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the impact of climate change, population growth leading to increased food demand, the need for effective water resource management, cost savings in irrigation practices, a rising adoption of smart irrigation in landscaping, and government initiatives promoting sustainable water usage. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) and big data, technological advancements in smart irrigation systems, the use of wireless connectivity, integration with weather data for precise irrigation planning, the implementation of remote monitoring and control features, and the development of industry-specific solutions catering to diverse needs.

The proliferation of smart cities is playing a crucial role in the substantial advancement of the smart irrigation market. A key driver for this market's growth is the increasing significance of efficient watering solutions, particularly in non-agricultural practices. Smart cities, a prevailing trend globally, underscore the need for effective water management in both commercial and residential spaces. Notably, the number of smart city projects witnessed a 14% growth in 2020 compared to 2019, and this trend is expected to accelerate further in 2023 and 2024, as reported by the US-based magazine Cities Today. Consequently, the expansion of smart cities contributes significantly to the flourishing smart irrigation market.

The escalating impact of climate change is anticipated to propel the smart irrigation market forward. Climate change denotes substantial and enduring alterations in Earth's climate patterns, encompassing variations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other climate-related factors. Smart irrigation systems play a crucial role in both mitigating and adapting to climate change. As climate change leads to more unpredictable weather patterns, including droughts and extreme heat, smart irrigation systems utilize real-time data and weather forecasts to optimize water usage. They contribute to water conservation, reduction of carbon footprint associated with irrigation, and enhancement of crop resilience. For instance, the World Meteorological Organization predicts that the global near-surface temperature for each year between 2023 and 2027 will be 1.1°C to 1.8°C higher than in previous years, reinforcing the role of smart irrigation systems in addressing climate change.

Leading companies in the market are embracing new technologies like precision irrigation systems to maintain their competitive edge. Precision irrigation represents a distinctive and sustainable agricultural approach, ensuring the application of water and nutrients to plants at the right time, place, and in the right quantity. In April 2022, Viridix, an Israel-based company specializing in irrigation solutions, introduced RooTense, a next-generation precision irrigation system with groundbreaking AI-based autonomous capabilities. This technology provides real-time data and employs AI-based software to analyze data from various sources, enabling the system to make autonomous decisions. By leveraging data-driven decisions, optimizations, and Auto-Pilot automation, this technology supports large and small farmers in producing more with less.

Product innovation emerges as a prominent trend in the smart irrigation market, with major companies introducing novel varieties of smart irrigation systems like the Smart Sprinkler Controller to enhance profitability. The Smart Sprinkler Controller, launched by Moen in January 2022, serves as an intelligent and cost-effective means to control a home's irrigation system. This automated irrigation system uses local weather data to disable watering when unnecessary and monitors water usage and estimated savings. The Smart Water Network offers homeowners comprehensive control over water usage inside and outside their homes.

In July 2023, Lindsay Corporation, a USA-based manufacturer of irrigation tools and systems, acquired FieldWise LLC. This strategic acquisition aims to bolster Lindsay Corporation's position in the smart irrigation and AgTech markets, leveraging FieldWise's expertise in subscription-based precision irrigation solutions. Lindsay Corporation envisions expanding its customer base and distribution network through the integration of FieldWise's market-leading solutions.
