Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Irrigation Automation Market size was over USD 5.75 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 45.77 billion by 2037, growing at more than 17.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of irrigation automation is estimated at USD 6.6 billion.
The irrigation automation market growth can be attributed to the growing water wastage in irrigation practices. According to the National Institutes of Health, agriculture is the most water-intensive industry accounting for around 70% of the withdrawal volume. Traditional irrigation methods result in various types of water losses, such as seepage, erosion, water logging, deep percolation, salinization, and runoff. Growing water scarcity has accelerated demand for irrigation automation, as it supplies water to crops based on real-time soil water availability. This approach maintains soil water potential, ensures consistent irrigation, and maximizes water savings. By scheduling irrigation according to crop water needs, these systems deliver the right amount of water at the right time, resulting in efficient and sustainable water use.
