Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Solar Powered Irrigation System Market size was over USD 69.97 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 211.97 billion by 2037, witnessing around 8.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of solar powered irrigation system is assessed at USD 80.29 billion.

The major factor dominating the market demand is the growing energy consumption of the agriculture sector. In 2022, the agri-food sector consumed about 29 of energy globally, and from this, most was fossil fuel-based. Hence, in order to protect the energy being depleted the use of solar in irrigation systems is set to grow. Solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS) constitute a clean technology irrigation option that replaces fossil fuels with solar energy for water pumping.

Moreover, the electricity price for the activity of distributing water in fields is one of the major concerns for the farmers, especially in developing regions. However, the decision of farmers to invest in diesel and fuel is also a costlier alternative for farmers owing to this rising price. Therefore, the adoption prevalence of solar in irrigation is anticipated to have significant growth during the projected period. Moreover, groundwater is the most accessible water source when the water must be carried over great distances. Moreover, SPIS may assist to mitigate the result of drought and alleviate water stress in the course of the dry season. When solar PV pumps take over the task of transporting water, it can also free up a significant amount of time that can be used for other beneficial endeavors.

Solar Powered Irrigation System Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Demand for Food

The demand for food is anticipated to have strong growth with about 10,093 million tons in 2030, and approximately 14,885 million tons in 2050, globally.  Hence, owing to this, agriculture activities are seeing a boost. Therefore, in order to make this activity more efficient and cost-effective, demand for solar-powered irrigation systems is set to rise.

  • Unavailability of Electricity in Remote Areas

In 2022, about 19 million of the population all across the world were living without electricity.  And the majority of them come from remote and rural regions. However, electricity is the major source of energy needed to keep agricultural activities productive. Hence, the installation of solar energy in such areas is growing.

  • Aims to Reduce Greenhouse Gases

A solar-powered irrigation system reduces dependency on foreign oil and fossil fuels and takes energy directly from the sun. Hence, it is known to be one of the cleanest sources of energy because it is pollution-free and causes zero greenhouse gas emissions after installation.

Challenges

  • High Price of Installing Solar Powered Irrigation System
  • Not Accessible in Every Situation - Solar irrigation systems have a number of drawbacks, including the fact that they could fail to generate enough electricity, especially at night or during cloudy conditions.  This means that solar irrigation is only practical in regions with plenty of sunlight. Moreover, the property might not receive enough sunlight to successfully power the system if it is shaded by trees or other structures. This may even need the use of a backup power source and could result in inconsistent watering schedules.
  • Requires Regular Maintenance

Solar Powered Irrigation System Segmentation

Type (Sprinkler Irrigation, Drip Irrigation, Surface Irrigation)

Solar powered irrigation system market from the drip irrigation segment is expected to generate the highest revenue between 2025 and 2037. In solar drip irrigation the water is directly applied to the roots of the plants using emitters, orifices, perforated pipes, and other irrigation applicators that function under low pressure and are either on top of the ground or buried beneath the ground. Hence, this is the most preferred method. Moreover, they are known to be more efficient as compared to all other methods since the water is applied slowly, further avoiding runoff and allowing the soil to absorb water.

Component (Solar Panel, Pump Controller, Submersible Water Pump, Inverter)

The submersible water pump segment in the solar powered irrigation system market is set to have noteworthy growth over the forecast period. This is since, they are the most suitable component for irrigation and supply of water as they are well structured in lifting water situated underneath ground level in depth. Additionally, these pumps do not discharge any kind of greenhouse gases which makes them preferable to farmers.
