Irrigation Automation Market Worth $8.96 Billion By 2027 | CAGR: 16.8%

Irrigation Automation Market Growth & Trends

The global irrigation automation market size is anticipated to reach USD 8.96 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 16.8% from 2020 to 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Government subsidies and incentives in the form of low-interest loans for implementing automated irrigation systems are expected to increase usage of these systems in the forthcoming years. Also, government projects such as smarter irrigation for profit led by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC), the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC), and Department of Agriculture and Water Resources assist farmers and commercial irrigation system providers to save time and water by adopting smart automated irrigation systems.

Furthermore, the Australian Federal, State, and Territory Governments have facilitated the automation of irrigation infrastructures such as improvements in on-farm irrigation hardware and distribution channels. This has led to more efficient water usage and some of the water saved is being used for environmental purposes. Moreover, improved irrigation methods are likely to have a long-term impact on saving water resources. Consequently, the use of communication sensors and remote sensing networks are evolving in the irrigation sector, which is expected to improve water usage patterns worldwide.

Increasing awareness among farmers about the advantages of adopting irrigation automation systems is a strong contributor to market growth. However, factors such as high cost associated with the installation of an irrigation system and lack of suitable infrastructure might impede the market growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, expanded penetration of solar-powered irrigation systems due to its low fuel costs and minimum maintenance requirement is likely to aid the market expansion at a strong rate over the next few years.
