COVID 19 IMPACT

Halt on Production to Hinder Market Growth

The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the global economy, due to which numerous manufacturing units are facing dreadful consequences. The epidemic remains to have compound and far-reaching effects on the water-energy ecosystem. Moreover, the manufacturing sector was shut down due to limitations directed at comprising COVID-19. The scarcity of labor and rare obtainability of raw materials has caused reduced manufacturing productivity for the manufacturing of irrigation systems. 

LATEST TRENDS

Modern Irrigation System to Push Market Growth

The upsurge in acceptance of drip irrigation amongst farmers for its accurate application of the yields credited to government projects and funding from the financial organization, water shortage, and the technological invention is anticipated to drive the drip irrigation market during the forecast period. The market is motivated by the rising adoption of micro-irrigation systems, technological upgradation in the agriculture sector and growing awareness of modern agricultural irrigation systems. Prominent players and suppliers are aiming at emerging countries such as China and India owing to a huge demand for cost-efficacy and manufacturing factors.

  • Adoption of Precision Irrigation: According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), over 3.6 million hectares of farmland globally adopted drip irrigation systems in 2022, up from 2.8 million hectares in 2019, driven by water-saving needs in arid and semi-arid regions.
  • Integration with Automation: As per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), 41% of commercial farms in California integrated automated drip irrigation systems by the end of 2022 to optimize crop yields and reduce water waste.
