The microirrigation systems market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.3% from 2016 to 2021, to reach a projected value of USD 6.81 Billion by 2021. Microirrigation systems are gaining significance because they help in protection against drought situations; these systems being a low cost irrigation technique. On the other hand, increasing water scarcity and demand, and improvement in crop yield and quality are also some other factors that are driving the growth of the market.

Depending upon the application, the global market is led by orchard crops & vineyards, followed by plantation crops. Rapid growth in the production of greenhouse vegetables is driving the application of microirrigation systems in orchard crops. Higher yield requirement from limited areas has also led to the growth in its application.

Amongst the types of microirrigation systems such as drip and microsprinkler, drip irrigation systems accounted for the largest market share in 2015. Drip irrigation is widely used because, with its application, nutrient loss is reduced, leaching is minimized, growth of weed is reduced, soil erosion is checked and cost of energy is also reduced since it operates in lower pressure. Among the end users such as farmers, corporates and others, corporates accounted for the highest share in 2015, whereas the farmer end user segment is growing with a highest CAGR due to the increased awareness of the advantages of microirrigation for agricultural use.

North America accounted for the largest market share for microirrigation systems, Mexico being the fastest growing in the region, from 2016 to 2021. On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market for the period considered for this study, due to the growing demand for water and increasing water scarcity.

High investment required at the time of installation of microirrigation systems is one of the restraints for the global market. The continuous maintenance requirement is further hindering the growth of the microirrigation systems market.

Jain Irrigations Systems Limited, one of the prominent players in the microirrigation systems market, focuses on both drip irrigation and microsprinkler systems. The company’s core competencies are advanced manufacturing and quality-control systems, regulatory expertise, market knowledge, and R&D capabilities. Recently, the company signed an agreement with Tata Trust (India). The agreement encompasses working towards improvement of agribusiness and research, extension of agriculture and development structures in India.
