Market Overview
In 2023, the smart irrigation market was estimated at USD 1,492.8 million. The Smart Irrigation Market is expected to increase from USD 1,733.1 million in 2024 to USD 4,984.2 million by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.3% over the forecast period.
Smart irrigation systems monitor weather, soil, and water conditions by automating the irrigation system with controllers, sensors, and meters, making it efficient, data-driven, and cost-effective. Adopting an intelligent irrigation system can prevent different errors by utilizing controllers that help evaluate and detect problems with real-time monitoring of the irrigation system, allowing farmers to take corrective action. The adoption of IoT-based architecture, as well as government tight water conservation rules, are driving growth in the smart irrigation industry.
Smart irrigation systems have gained popularity in recent years as an alternative to traditional irrigation systems. This is primarily due to advancements in communication technology, which have made it easier for farmers and other stakeholders to monitor and regulate irrigation systems. Such a transition has been considerably aided by the widespread use of mobile phones, particularly internet connections. Mobile phones have thus become a must-have item for farmers, as they can now obtain critical information on weather conditions, soil, and crop conditions through some of the applications designed for mobile phones.
