The emergence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has affected the smart irrigation market. COVID-19 has resulted in the disruption of various sectors of the economy, and the agriculture sector is also being affected by it. However, a silver lining to this pandemic is the increased awareness among the farmers to use technology for farming operations, which can lead to the automation of several field operations such as the use of various sensors such as rain sensors, climate sensors, soil moisture sensors, temperature sensors, and fertigation sensors. The other integrated solutions involving controllers and water flow meters for irrigation purpose can be seen to have a better adoption in the developing countries as the labor crisis are hindering the irrigation management. Moreover, the remote access to the irrigation controllers and to get adequate inputs from the farms could be a major driving factor for the development of the smart irrigation market in the post-COVID-19 period.
The growing importance of efficient watering practices and irrigation solutions for non-agricultural applications, such as residential, turf and landscape, and golf courses, is a major factor driving the growth of this market. Smart city is the ongoing trend across the major parts of the world. Smart cities emphasize on the efficient management of water in commercial as well as residential spaces. Urbanization leads to the decrease of green cover to make way for concrete infrastructure hence it becomes imperative to maintain the green balance for which the smart irrigation concept is being leveraged. The adoption of smart irrigation controllers is expected to increase exponentially in smart cities in coming years. A majority of the water is wasted due to overwatering caused by inefficiencies in traditional irrigation methods and systems and hence adopting the smart irrigation for smart cities would be a highly effective alternative. Thus, the growth of smart cities is expected to generate opportunities for players involved in the smart irrigation controller market. A few countries around the globe are characterized by extreme weather conditions. Irrigation systems in such regions need to be highly efficient. Smart irrigation systems with advanced soil and weather sensors can deliver high efficiency compared with conventional irrigation systems. The need for advanced irrigation systems is another factor pushing the growth of the smart irrigation system market.
Currently, smart irrigation technology is expensive, which makes it unaffordable for smaller farmers in developed regions and most farmers in emerging economies. According to the European Agricultural Machinery Industry Association, only a quarter of small farmers can afford advanced smart farming equipment and devices. Access to the latest technology is restricted to big and industrialized farms owing to high technology costs. Currently, the benefits of information and communications technology are limited to advanced countries with a focus on the production of well-known and widely grown crops, such as wheat, maize, and rice. Smart irrigation requires high initial investments, efficient farming tools, longer waiting periods, and skilled and knowledgeable farmers or growers, among others, for the uninterrupted and effective use of technologies. Farmers or growers have to make huge investments in smart controllers, sensors, software installation, and weather subscription to collect input data, variable-rate technology, and satellite devices, among others.
The impact of this restraint is currently high owing to the high cost of smart agricultural devices. Most farmers worldwide are marginal farmers or small landholding farmers, who find it difficult to invest in such expensive equipment. The impact of this restraint is particularly high on the market in developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil. In the coming years, advancements in technologies are expected to reduce the prices of farm management solutions, which, in turn, would minimize the impact of this factor on the smart irrigation market.
Continuous upgrades in communication technologies are enabling growers or residential users to remotely access their irrigation systems. Traditional hardwire systems are upgraded to wireless data communication systems. Advanced wireless sensors offer mobility, convenience, etc. Radio frequency technology in irrigation provides connectivity with wireless signal communication systems. Advancements in technologies increase interoperability between the control center and the equipment, which, in turn, enhances the efficiency of the overall irrigation system. In agriculture, 5G can further enable improvement in the entire value-chain, from precision farming, smart irrigation, improved soil and crop monitoring to livestock management.
COVID-19 has further accelerated the adoption of 5G technology in the agriculture sector. Some prominent growers in the US, Japan, and Netherlands have already started to take advantage of 5G technology for more efficient scheduling of irrigation in farms. 5G technology is potentially 100 times faster than 4G technology, making communication between devices and servers much quicker for irrigation scheduling.
In several remote rural locations across the world (particularly in developing countries, although several locations in the US suffer from this issue as well), strong, reliable, and stable internet connectivity is not available. This, in turn, thwarts the attempts to implement smart irrigation practices at such locations. Unless network performance and bandwidth speeds are significantly improved, the implementation of advanced IoT integrated smart irrigation will remain problematic. Furthermore, since many agro-sensors/gateways rely on cloud-based services for data transmission/storage, cloud-based computing also needs to become efficient. In addition to this, in farmlands where tall, dense trees are present or are situated on hilly terrains, reception of GPS signals becomes a huge issue.

The smart irrigation market for sensor-based systems is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of sensor-based systems in agricultural irrigation to save water and increase crop yield. The sensor-based systems are capable of interpreting precise data from various sensors, such as temperature, soil moisture, rain, and humidity sensors that are being installed on the field. Additionally, the sensor-based systems are preferred over the weather-based systems as they do not rely on weather forecasts or on data from weather stations. Sensor-based systems help to capture data from sensors that are mounted on the field and then they transfer the data to the cloud. Sensor-based smart irrigation controllers are pre-programmed according to the level of moisture present in the soil. Therefore, the smart irrigation system starts irrigating that particular zone or field as soon as the reading reaches below the threshold level. They are more effective than weather-based systems as they can respond to specific zone irrigation requirements based on actual soil moisture levels.
