The smart irrigation market based on irrigation controllers and hardware & network components is expected to reach USD 1,504.6 Million by 2022 and to grow at a CAGR of 17.2% during the forecast period. The base year used for this study is 2015 and the forecast period is between 2016 and 2022. This report provides a detailed analysis of the smart irrigation market on the basis of irrigation controllers, hardware and network components, application, and regions.

Smart irrigation is also called technology-oriented irrigation or precision irrigation. Application of technology and tools in irrigation has led to minimized use of water for irrigating the same land and enhanced productivity of land and yield. Irrigation Controllers in smart irrigation function according to the weather conditions, it shuts off automatically in case of rain, wind, and others. It functions as an important tool to estimate and apply right amount of irrigation water at right place, at right time to enhance the productivity of land and crop.

To estimate the size of the smart irrigation market, the top players in the market and their shares in the market have been considered.

The smart irrigation market is expected to have a high growth potential by 2022. The total market segmented on the basis of irrigation controllers and hardware & network components is expected to reach USD 1,504.6 Million by 2022 and grow at a CAGR of 17.2% during the forecast period

The increasing global concern for water conservation and reduction in the wastage of resources are the major drivers for the growth of the smart irrigation market.

Smart irrigation involves the combination of various technologies in irrigation processes. The innovation in technology has led to the efficient water management, increased productivity of land, reduction in wastage of resources. It involves the use of various technologies such as weather-based controllers, rain sensor, temperature sensor, network elements, water meter, sensor-based controller, and others.

Sensors is expected to hold a large share of the market in the hardware and network components segment of the smart irrigation market in 2016. Sensor makes the irrigation smart as it collects data on soil, crop water management, weather, moisture-level, pH level, humidity, temperature, and assist in estimating the right amount of irrigation water. Sensor usage is increasing in irrigation as it helps to minimize the wastage of resources such as water, energy, nutrients, fertilizers, problem of water logging, land infertility, and others.

The agriculture application in global smart irrigation market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In agriculture, the crops require more irrigation water than what is actually is being provided to it. This has become a matter of concern for the crop growers globally.  The population explosion and recent droughts has put the water resources under immense pressure. This has resulted in new approaches towards water planning and management to avoid conflicts which, in turn, is increasing the application of technology-oriented irrigation in agriculture.

Sensor-based controller in the smart irrigation market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Sensor-based controllers estimate the amount of irrigation water with the help of sensor network, which typically comprises rain/freeze sensors, soil moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and more. Sensor-based controllers are the better controllers when compared with weather-based controllers as it does not depend on weather forecast or inputs about soil characteristics or depend on data from weather station. It works directly through the sensor which calculates the moisture present in the air of field.

North America is expected to hold the largest market share in 2022; however, the APAC region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. North America is home to many top players of smart irrigation market such as Rain Bird Corporation (U.S.), The Toro Company (U.S.), Hunter Industries (U.S.), HydroPoint (U.S.), and Baseline Inc. (U.S.).

With the increasing concern for water conservation and to minimize the wastage of resources, the governments in North America are actively participating and providing rebates and subsidy to enhance the application of smart irrigation for residential and non-residential use. For instance, the government of California is offering rebate on smart controllers. The U.S. and Canada have initiated large-scale upgradation and development of the water distribution infrastructure owing to the rising demand for water resources.

High capital investment in installation of irrigation devices and lack of awareness related to smart irrigation technology are the restraining factors for the smart irrigation market. The major players in this market adopted various strategies such as new product developments, partnerships, collaborations, and business expansion to cater to the needs of the smart irrigation market.
