The study involved two major approaches in estimating the current size of the precision irrigation market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer, and parent markets. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources—directories and databases such as Bloomberg Businessweek and Factiva—to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the market.
In the secondary research process, various sources such as annual reports, press releases & investor presentations of companies, white papers, food journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, directories, and databases were referred to identify and collect information.
Secondary research was mainly used to obtain key information about the industry’s supply chain, the total pool of key players, and market classification and segmentation as per the industry trends to the bottom-most level, regional markets, and key developments from both market- and technology-oriented perspectives.
Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the precision irrigation market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors from business development, marketing, research, and development teams, and related key executives from distributors and key opinion leaders. Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data on revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to precision irrigation type, technology, component, end use, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as farm associations, dealers, distributors, and government agencies, were interviewed to understand the demand side perspective on the suppliers, products, and their current usage of precision irrigation and the outlook of their business, which will affect the overall market.
Note: The three tiers of the companies are defined based on their total revenues in 2022 or 2023, as per the availability of financial data: Tier 1: Revenue > USD 1 billion; Tier 2: USD 100 million ≤ Revenue ≤ USD 1 billion; Tier 3: Revenue < USD 100 million.

Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the total size of the precision irrigation market. These approaches were also used extensively to determine the size of various subsegments in the market. The research methodology used to estimate the market size includes the following details:

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed, wherever applicable, to estimate the overall precision irrigation market and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from the demand and supply sides. Along with this, the market size was validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches.
According to Utah State University, precision irrigation involves technology and specialized equipment to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of agriculture irrigation management. This management process is beneficial in allocating water based on spatial variability throughout fields and can sometimes conserve water and improve crop quality.
Precision irrigation is a sustainable farming method that delivers water and nutrients directly to plants at the right time and location, in carefully controlled amounts. This approach ensures optimal growing conditions by providing plants with the necessary resources in a precise, timely manner. Precision irrigation might be used for a range of irrigation systems (sprinkler, drip, and others), including the appropriate sensing, control, and decision support requirements.
