Urbanization and industrialization had led to the expansion of cities and a decrease in arable land for cultivation of crops. In addition, increasing trend of population migration from villages and towns to cities has resulted in reducing the workforce in agriculture industry. These factors together have contributed to increasing popularity of micro irrigation as they not only improve efficiency but also reduce labor.

Sprinklers dominated the global market accounting for over 30% of the revenue share in 2014. Flexibility and ease of use of the product is expected to result in its high demand over the forecast period. Moreover, sprinklers also offer more coverage in small quantities of water. Thus, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2015 to 2022.

Demand for micro irrigation systems was highest for orchards, accounting for over 30% of the global market. They water only the treeline of the orchard, thus, promoting healthy growth.

Plantation & field crops are likely to witness significant gains over the forecast period owing to rising awareness among farmers regarding the benefits of these equipment.Field crops are expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% from 2015 to 2022.

North America accounted for approximately 30% of the overall revenue in 2014, followed by Asia Pacific. Rising awareness among farmers regarding the benefits of using these systems has resulted in growth of the market over the past few years, and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.

Increasing adoption of these equipment to conserve water as well as reduce labor in agriculture-eccentric economies of Asia Pacific is expected to augment growth over the forecast period. The market is expected to witness a growth of 19.8% by 2022.Moreover, growing population and rising standard of living are expected to augment the market in the region over the forecast period.

Reduced arable land owing to industrialization, deforestation, soil erosion, and urbanization along with scarcity of water are the major drivers of the micro irrigation systems industry. Installing them minimizes soil erosion, increases crop yield with high quality, and low weed growth. Drought related issues can also be solved by these equipment under the guidance of considerable government policies and regulatory frameworks.
