The sprinkler irrigation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been a significant expansion in the market size of sprinkler irrigation. The market value is projected to surge from $3.11 billion in 2024 to $3.41 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%.
The positive shift experienced in the historic period can be traced back to rising worries about water shortage, an upswing in agricultural output, governmental financial aids and incentives, effects of climate variation, and conservation of labor.
The sprinkler irrigation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of sprinkler irrigation is projected to undergo robust expansion in the coming years. The market is anticipated to escalate to $4.79 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%.
Factors contributing to this growth within the forecast period include rising environmental issues, penetration into developing markets, legislations and water management strategies, and the growing implementation of sprinkler irrigation systems in farming. Additionally, there is a heightened degree of awareness amongst farmers regarding the advantages of these systems. Notable tendencies within the forecast period encompass the utilisation of mobile applications and remote surveillance, the employment of vri systems, the use of drones for irrigation administration, soil moisture detecting devices, automation, and smart irrigation.
The rise in both public and private backing for irrigation efforts in developing nations is projected to advance the sprinkler irrigation market's expansion. Both these sectors are joining forces to deliver advisory services and information to meet the requirements of farming communities and rural sectors. As per the World Bank Group, a sum of $2 billion is warranted to enable irrigation of a million hectares of land in Southern Ukraine. Combining public capital and private sector options is crucial to close the funding shortfall for extensive projects. Hence, the escalating support from public and private entities for irrigation endeavors in developing countries is fueling the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market.

Leading companies in the sprinkler irrigation market are striving toward the creation of digital water distribution systems with the aim of increasing precision, reducing water use, and bolstering the overall efficiency of irrigation. The digital water distribution system is an innovative application of technology to regulate and distribute water in irrigation networks. With the aid of digital tools, sensors, and data analytics, this system enables real-time supervision, control, and optimisation of water flow. To illustrate, The National Informatics Centre (NIC), a department within India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, introduced a unique digital water distribution system in May 2024. This ground-breaking platform is designed to heighten transparency and efficiency in water delivery from the Gang Canal and Indira Gandhi Canal. It enables farmers to monitor whether water is reaching their fields successfully, mitigating human errors common in conventional manual systems.
