The global drip irrigation market is projected to grow from
USD 4.9 billion in 2019 to USD 8.5 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.6%. The rise
in the popularity of drip irrigation solutions can be attributed to government
initiatives, water conservation activities, enhancement of production, and
decrease in production cost. Markets such as China and India are among the key
markets targeted by drip irrigation manufacturers and distributors due to the
large agriculture sector driven by regional demand and exports that are
adopting drip irrigation services in the region.
Increasing concerns over water withdrawal and government
initiatives are the key factor driving the growth in the drip irrigation market
during the forecast period
Drip irrigation helps minimize water loss due to evaporation
by distributing water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters.
Drip irrigation methods are known to offer a significant advantage in
efficiency against other conventional irrigation methods, including sprinkler
and flooding. The adoption of micro irrigation technology has helped achieve
higher cropping and irrigation intensity, which has made a significant impact
on resource saving, cultivation cost, crop yield, and farm productivity. This
technology has received considerable attention from policymakers and government
for its perceived ability to contribute significantly toward agricultural
productivity and economic growth.

By emitter type, inline emitters dominated the drip
irrigation market
Emitters are the most crucial components of a drip
irrigation system as they discharge water flowing through the lateral over the
crop root area. The role of emitters is to discharge water at a predetermined
rate and help prevent clogging. Inline emitters are usually present within the
laterals with equal spacing. They may be flat boat-shaped, cylindrical, or may
be attached to the inner wall of the lateral. Inline emitters are usually used
for row crops or field crops. They help provide maximum resistance against
clogging and are suitable for surface irrigation and subsurface irrigation. The
end users of inline emitters have substantial labor savings, as emitters are
preinstalled. The inline emitters are molded into the dripline, which helps
negate the costs for additional emitters.
Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the drip irrigation
market by 2025
The Asia Pacific drip irrigation market is anticipated to
witness significant growth during the forecast period due to the high
agricultural production, government initiatives incentivizing the adoption of
drip irrigation systems, and increase in irrigable areas in the region which
has resulted in water scarcity across multiple countries in the region. Asia
Pacific was the largest consumer of drip irrigation and is a key exporter of
agricultural products. The region is mainly dominated by large-scale
operations, primarily exports, with an organized distribution chain.
