The expansion of smart cities is playing a significant role in the growth of the smart irrigation market moving forward. The rising need for efficient watering solutions in non-agricultural applications is the primary factor driving this market's growth. As smart cities become an ongoing trend in various parts of the world, they focus on the effective management of water practices for both commercial and residential areas. For example, in April 2023, the Smart City Index Report published by IMD Business School, a Switzerland-based institution, noted a 16.3% increase in the number of smart cities, rising from 118 cities in 2021 to 141 in 2023. Therefore, the growth of smart cities is contributing to the development of the smart irrigation market.

The rise in climate change is anticipated to drive the smart irrigation market in the future. Climate change refers to significant and long-term shifts in Earth's climate patterns, including alterations in temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other climate-related factors. Smart irrigation systems are crucial for mitigating and adapting to climate change. As climate change causes more unpredictable weather patterns, such as droughts and extreme heat, these systems utilize real-time data and weather forecasts to optimize water usage. They aid in conserving water resources, reducing the carbon footprint linked to irrigation, and improving crop resilience. For instance, in May 2023, the World Meteorological Organization, a Switzerland-based agency, predicted that the global near-surface temperature for each year between 2023 and 2027 would be between 1.1°C and 1.8°C higher than in previous years. Therefore, the rise in climate change is fueling the growth of the smart irrigation market.

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.

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.
