Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Market Analysis

The Sprinkler Irrigation Systems market is segmented by type, product, crop type, field size, mobility, application and region. Among product types, the center pivot sprinkler type segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The segment growth is predominantly attributed towards the higher demand for center pivot sprinklers for irrigation of most field crops, cereals, legumes, forage, and vegetables. It is also used as a supplementary irrigation for rain-fed grain. However, the price for each system unit is relatively high and is therefore reasonable for large irrigated farms.

Amongst product types, the lateral move sprinkler segment is anticipated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period owing to the lower capital costs for lateral move systems than that of center pivots as these are desirable for large areas. Also, unlike center pivots, these systems have a constant pressure along the length and are also more labor-intensive. One of the key disadvantages of lateral move sprinkler systems is that it waters over recently irrigated land when changing direction, which leads to operational problems such as non-uniform irrigation.
