This Irrigation Automation market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.
The irrigation automation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.07 billion in 2024 to $7.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in unpredictable rainfall patterns, rise in mechanization of agriculture, rise in government support and initiatives, increase use of automated irrigation systems, and increase use of remote control and monitoring systems.
The irrigation automation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing in agriculture productivity, rising demand for advanced irrigation systems, increasing water scarcity instances, increasing water crisis coupled with unpredictable rainfall patterns, and increasing investment in research and development of automation technology. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in water conservation solutions, technological advancements, integration of smart technologies, advancements in irrigation automation techniques, and advancements in smart sprinklers.
The growth in agricultural productivity is expected to fuel the expansion of the irrigation automation market. Agricultural productivity is driven by technological advancements, improved farming practices, upgraded irrigation systems, high-yield crop varieties, better pest and disease management, and more efficient use of fertilizers and pesticides. Irrigation automation enhances productivity by optimizing water usage, ensuring consistent and precise irrigation, reducing labor requirements, and improving crop health, which leads to higher yields and more efficient resource use. For example, in December 2023, the Food and Agriculture Organization, a United Nations specialized agency based in Italy, reported that global production of primary crop commodities reached 9.6 billion tonnes in 2022, up from 9.53 billion tonnes in 2021. As a result, the rise in agricultural productivity is driving the growth of the irrigation automation market.
Leading companies in the irrigation automation market are focusing on cutting-edge technologies such as AI-driven precision irrigation systems. These systems optimize water use by making real-time adjustments based on environmental data and crop needs, thereby enhancing crop yields and sustainability. For instance, in April 2022, Viridix, an Israel-based agritech company, introduced its next-generation precision irrigation system featuring AI-based autonomous capabilities. This system uses a root sense soil moisture sensor to provide real-time data on water availability to plant roots, enabling precise irrigation decisions and improving water efficiency, crop yields, and agricultural productivity.
