• Further, drip irrigation system is widely suitable for greenhouses, spaced crops, and orchard trees.
• For instance, in August 2024, European Union collaborated with Union Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and launched solar-powered drip irrigation system which irrigates 0.8 hectares of land resulting in benefit of 10 households.
• Therefore, the rising adoption of drip irrigation systems is further driving the micro irrigation systems market trends.

Sprinkler irrigation system segment is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR growth during the forecast period.

• Sprinkler irrigation refers to a method of applying irrigation water through distribution of pipes by pumping and irrigating entire soil surface through sprinklers.
• Moreover, the sprinkler irrigation system offers various benefits such as uniform distribution, low labour costs, and easy operation.
• For instance, in December 2021, Netafim India launched Flexi Sprinkler Kit, which included D-Net sprinkler unit and FlexNet pipe for small as well as large farmers.
• Thus, the rising advancements in sprinkler irrigation systems are further are projected to drive the micro irrigation systems market size during the forecast period.

By System Component:

Based on the system component, the market is segmented into filter, pressure regulator, irrigation controller, and others.

Trends in the System Component:

• There is an increasing utilization of filters such as screen filters, media filters, disc filters, and others for filtration.
• Rising adoption of pressure regulator in micro-irrigation systems for controlling water pressure.

Filter segment accounted for the largest revenue share in the total market in 2024.

• Filtration is an essential component used in micro irrigation system for removing particles for preventing blockage of drippers.
• Moreover, there are various types of filters including screen filters, media filters, disc filters, hydrocyclone sand separators, and others.
• Further, by enabling reliable filtration, a drip irrigation system operates properly and provides adequate water delivery to crops.
• For instance, AZUD LUXON offers filters in its product offerings. It offers various kind of filters such as screen filters, disc filters, automatic filters, semi-automatic filters, and others for increasing water efficiency in irrigation.
• Thus, the rising adoption of filters in micro-irrigation systems is further driving the micro irrigation systems market size.

Pressure regulator segment is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR growth during the forecast period.

• Pressure regulator is an integral part of micro irrigation system, which is used for maintaining the system's preferred performance by controlling excessive inlet pressure.
• Moreover, pressure regulators are designed to operate at a specific flow and pressure rate.
• For instance, in November 2021, Senninger launched LDN Dynamic Drive, which is available in five different models with a pressure range of 10 to 50 psi and an extensive coverage of diameter.
• Thus, the rising advancements in pressure regulators are projected to boost the market during the forecast period.

By System:

Based on the system, the market is segmented into control system, delivery system, and emissions system.

Trends in the System:

• There is an increasing trend towards utilization of control system for providing specific amount of water.
• Increasing utilization of drip tape and micro-sprinklers in emissions systems for delivering water in a specific way.

Delivery system segment accounted for the largest revenue in the total micro irrigation systems market share in 2024, and it is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR growth during the forecast period.

• The delivery system distributes water from the source by pipes to the emitters that irrigate the plants above the surface.
• Further, the delivery system includes pipe, fittings, tubing, flush and vacuum relief valves, pressure regulators, chemical injectors, filters, and others.
• For instance, in September 2023, GS Vortex Systems launched vortex flow amplifier for solving fluid transportation cost and reliability challenges for agricultural irrigation systems.
• Thus, the rising advancements in delivery system for micro irrigation are driving the micro irrigation systems market trends.

By End-Use:

Based on the end-use, the market is segmented into commercial aircraft, military aircraft, and others.

By Application:

Based on the application, the market is segmented into vegetable gardens, orchards, vineyards, field crops, and others.

Trends in the Application:

• There is an increasing trend towards utilization of low pressure micro-irrigation systems for growing orchards.
• Rising adoption of micro irrigation systems in vineyards for reducing water contact with stems, berries, and grapevines leaves.

Vegetable gardens accounted for the largest revenue share in the total micro irrigation systems market share in 2024, and it is anticipated to register a substantial CAGR growth during the forecast period.

• Micro-irrigation is an effective way of watering vegetable gardens with an effective approach of saving water.
• Moreover, in vegetable gardens, micro-irrigation delivers water to the roots without moistening the foliage.
• Further, vegetable gardens can implement various types of micro-irrigation systems such as drip irrigation, micro sprays, and bubblers for irrigating the garden.
• For instance, in December 2022, Mukti launched winter vegetable gardens for 62 organic farmers, in which every garden have 10 varieties of vegetables such as coriander, spinach, red amaranth, beans, beetroot, okra, pumpkin, water spinach, and carrot bottle gourd.
• Thus, the rising number of vegetables gardens is further driving the adoption of micro-irrigation systems, which in turn propelling the market.
