The governing bodies around the world are focusing their efforts on using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve operational efficiency and quality of life in cities. The goal of smart city programs is to minimize resource use, cut costs, and improve sustainability. Given the crucial necessity of freshwater, governments are increasingly looking to smart irrigation systems to maximize water management across agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. Irrigation controllers emerge as critical components in this environment, leveraging weather and soil moisture parameters to improve plant health, increase production (especially for farmers), and automate irrigation operations, hence promoting water conservation.
The growing emphasis on smart city development and the imperative for efficient irrigation systems are expected to drive the adoption of smart irrigation controllers, consequently fostering the global smart irrigation market's growth. The proliferation of smartphones, especially among young adults globally, has paved the way for technological advancements across various industries, including agriculture. Advancements in the telecom industry have expanded network connectivity, reaching a broader consumer base.
In this evolving landscape, the development of software applications enables users to access data from irrigation controllers, facilitating informed decision-making to optimize water use in irrigation. This trend is particularly relevant as smartphones become increasingly prevalent among small-scale farmers. Smartphone applications offer the precision needed for growing plants according to their specific requirements without negatively impacting the environment. The ubiquity of smartphones ensures easy access from anywhere, empowering users to control the irrigation or fertigation process at their convenience.
The convergence of smart city initiatives, the imperative for resource-efficient irrigation, and the widespread adoption of smartphones contribute to a favorable environment for the growth of the global smart irrigation market. This technological integration not only improves the efficiency of irrigation processes but also aligns with broader goals of sustainability and resource
