What Has Been the Progress and Growth of the Drip Irrigation Market in Recent Years?
The drip irrigation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The magnitude of the drip irrigation industry has witnessed a swift surge in recent years. The market size is anticipated to escalate from $7.31 billion in 2024 to $8.16 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%.
The expansion during the historic period is attributable to factors like concerns over water scarcity, enhancement in crop yield and quality, government incentives, growth in commercial farming, and emphasis on sustainable agricultural methods.
What Is the Forecasted Market Size and Growth Rate for The Drip Irrigation Market?
The drip irrigation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are high for the drip irrigation market to experience substantial growth in the coming years, expanding to a value of $12.69 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%.
This anticipated surge during the forecast period can be credited to a rising population and food security issues, the enlarging sectors of horticulture and floriculture, adapting to climate change, technological progress in irrigation systems, and increased awareness and uptake in emerging markets. In the forecast period, the booming trends will be the use of drip irrigation in greenhouse farming, the enhancement in the design of drip irrigation systems, micro-irrigation targeting small-scale farmers, the application of drip irrigation in urban and landscaping settings, and the shift towards organic farming and specialty crop production.
Which Drivers Are Accelerating Growth In The Drip Irrigation Market?
The growth of the drip irrigation market is being driven by a rising demand for agricultural products. This refers to any type of agricultural product, whether it's raw or processed, and including those derived from cattle or other agricultural commodities. The technique of drip irrigation is applied to provide water and nutrients directly to a plant's root zone, enhancing crop yield through effective water and fertility management, in order to fulfill the burgeoning demand for agricultural products. For example, in January 2022, the government of India shared an economic survey report for 2021-22, revealing that an unprecedented 308.65 million tons of food grain is anticipated to be produced across the country in 2020–21, which marks an increase of 11.15 million tons from 2019–20's production. Another record is set with an expected 150.50 million tons of food grain production across the nation in 2021–2022, a surge of 0.94 million tons from the Kharif production of 2020–2021. Additionally, as per the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s Crop Production 2021 Summary, the corn for grain output estimate for 2021 stood at 15.1 billion bushels, reflecting a 7% rise from the 2020 forecast. The projected grain output for 2021 was 448 million bushels, marking a 20% rise from the 2020 level. The total cotton put in the pipeline for production is 17.6 million 480-pound bales, indicating an increase of 21% from 2020. Consequently, the escalating demand for agricultural products is providing impetus to the growth of the drip irrigation market.
