Micro irrigation system is one of the fastest growing segments in irrigation system market. Micro irrigation systems are further classified as drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation system across all geography and major country market in terms of both revenue and area under each micro irrigation system.

Micro irrigation systems are basically segmented further on the basis of applications such as agriculture micro irrigation, landscaping irrigation, and green house micro irrigation systems. Drip irrigation is the fastest growing market segment in terms of both revenue and area with 19% CAGR from 2011 to 2016 in terms of revenue. Drip irrigation is commonly used in fruits crops and green house crops across the globe. Micro irrigation systems are very important in order to maintain internal climate in green house application. Sprinkler irrigation is widely used in agriculture and landscaping to cover large area for irrigation.

Globally, the micro irrigation system market is dominated by sprinkler irrigation systems, accounting for over 72% of the total micro irrigation system demand in 2010. The global drip irrigation systems market is expected to reach $996.7 million by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 19.0%. The global sprinkler irrigation system market is projected to reach $2,418 million by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 17.4%. Orchard crop is the largest and fastest growing crop segment for micro irrigation system industry and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.3% from 2011 to 2016. Micro irrigation system for field crops is another growing segment for micro irrigation system market.

Rising water scarcity and cost effectiveness of fertigation and chemigation in micro irrigation systems over other crop protection and fertilizer application methods are expected to drive the demand for micro irrigation system market in the near future. Increasing population and water scarcity are another driving factors for this market. However, high initial and maintenance cost is major restrain for the market.

This report estimates the market size of the global micro irrigation system market in terms of revenue and area. The market has been further segmented on the basis of crop types such as field crops, orchard crops, plantation crops, and other crops such as forage and turf grasses as well as by sub-segmentation of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation. This segmentation is given for major regions and key countries in those regions. Market drivers, restraints and challenges, and crop type trends are discussed in detail. Market share by participants for the overall market is discussed in detail in the report. We have also profiled leading players of this industry including Netafim (Israel), Jain Irrigation System Limited (India), and John Deere & Company (U.S.).

The micro irrigation system market, which is a wider irrigation market primarily includes;

• Drip micro irrigation systems
• Sprinkler micro irrigation systems

Sprinkler micro irrigation systems majorly consist of micro sprinkler irrigation system and micro jet irrigation system. Sprinkler micro irrigation systems currently hold 72% of the global micro irrigation system market as the largest revenue generating segment. However, drip irrigation systems are used mostly for green house irrigation and water scarce areas holds a minor share in the market but expected to grow faster.

This report provides a comprehensive outlook on the global micro irrigation system market with respect to various geography and micro irrigation system type. In terms of revenue, the market was estimated to be worth $1,290 million in 2010 and is expected to reach $3,414.7 million by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2011 to 2016. Growth in revenue is expected to be higher than area occupied owing to the increasing cost of raw materials for micro irrigation system.

Source: MarketsandMarkets Analysis

North America and Asia-Pacific were the leading consumers of micro irrigation systems, together accounting for over 60% of the market till 2010. Constant Government push in form of subsidies have resulted in a significant increase in demand for micro irrigation systems in all regions.

Asia-Pacific, which has witnessed a steady demand for these micro irrigation systems in the recent years, is now one of the growing markets for micro irrigation system industry. Increasing modernization of agriculture and water scarcity issues in India and China are expected to drive the Asia-Pacific market in the near future.

Among all micro irrigation system products, sprinkler micro irrigation system insecticides forms the largest segment and accounted for almost 72% share of the global micro irrigation system market in 2010. Drip micro irrigation system forms the second largest segment of the global micro irrigation system market with 28% market share in 2010.

In terms of competition, the market is dominated by “innovators”, which are essentially companies having patented products and made them available in the market. Key market players include Netafim (Israel), Jain Irrigation System Ltd (India), and John Deere & Company (U.S.). Also, there are companies that focus on continuous developments in micro irrigation system products with new product launches. Many companies are following mergers and acquisitions and partnership, collaboration, and joint ventures as key strategy to spread business throughout the world. Key participants in the developments segment include Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd (India) and Netafim (Israel).

Key players in mechanized irrigation systems such as central pivot and lateral move irrigation systems are Valmont Industries (U.S), and Lindsay Corporation (U.S.).
