Smart Irrigation Market:? Overview

Smart irrigation is the process of combining irrigation with technology. As compared to standard automatic system timers, which irrigate on a user-determined set schedule, smart irrigation controllers and sensors have been created to reduce outdoor water use by irrigating based on plant water need. These controllers collect local weather data and change irrigation run-time accordingly, ensuring that the landscape receives the proper amount of water.

One of the primary aspects driving the global smart irrigation market is concerns about issues such as per-hectare productivity and resource wastage. One of the upcoming trends in the market is the increasing integration of modern technologies such as wireless sensors, AI with irrigation sprinklers and dripping systems, solar-powered batteries, and others. Nowadays smart irrigation even provide data analytics, thereby providing farmers with data they could not earlier access. Such data can enable the farmers better understand the water requirements and optimizing production by minimizing waste.

Smart Irrigation Market: COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused supply chain disruptions across farm ecosystems, including the smart irrigation market. Hardware equipment supply has been hampered, affecting businesses across the agriculture value chain. It has also caused a shortage of labour due to reliance on seasonal or temporary migrants, as well as a lack of access to irrigation equipment and other inputs. Furthermore, farmers’ sales have suffered as a result of their limited market access.

Smart Irrigation Market: Growth Factors

With a rising trend of smart cities around the world, the market is expected to grow as adoption of smart irrigation controllers is high in such cities. With a number of regions around the world experiencing severe weather, smart irrigation systems can be extremely efficient. Smart irrigation systems with soil and weather sensors can result in efficient results as compared to traditional irrigation systems.

Moreover, the sensor network is a vital component of the smart irrigation system as it helps monitor a variety of parameters including pH, soil moisture, rain, temperature, water flow and also enables farmers recognize a number of different nutrients in the soil which can benefit them greatly. Such factors are also expected to boost the market growth.
