Drip Irrigation Market Trends

• Rapid Growth in Greenhouse Vegetable Production to boost market growth

Controlling soil moisture, especially in the case of specialty greenhouse plants, requires automatic drip irrigation. Drip irrigation systems that are fully automated offer a straightforward, careful way to manage soil moisture and administer water. Some elements boosting demand for automatic drip irrigation systems are efficient time management, abolishing human estimation mistakes, and adjusting the available soil moisture levels. Also, it is anticipated that these techniques will boost earnings per yield. Water scarcity is a significant problem for many growers of greenhouse vegetables in many European nations like the United Kingdom and Germany. Drip irrigation systems are becoming extremely popular in these areas, especially in southeast European countries, primarily to improve greenhouse production.

Furthermore, these systems improve crop productivity and minimize the use of fertilizers and water, along with the risk of pathogen attacks. In the United States, Canada, Japan, the Middle East, and European countries, soilless culture is primarily used to produce greenhouse vegetables. As greenhouse vegetables require ample water, farmers are switching to sprinkler and drip irrigation systems to achieve higher crop productivity. Thus, increasing the production of greenhouse vegetables is expected to augment the market's growth.

Therefore, the rise in popularity of drip irrigation among growers for its precise application of the crops, attributed to government initiatives and support from the financial institution, global water scarcity, and technological innovation has enhanced the Drip Irrigation market CAGR across the globe in the recent years that drives the growth of the Drip Irrigation market revenue.
