Synopsis
Smart sprinkler irrigation control systems are devices used to operate automatic watering systems, such as drip irrigation systems or lawn sprinklers. Irrigation control systems are used to ensure that plants maintain desired moisture levels with or without a human operator. Most of these control systems have the ability to adjust irrigation frequency, start time and duration. Smart sprinkler irrigation control system can adjust the nutrient requirements of crops to maximize their growth, which can effectively improve irrigation efficiency.
Global Smart Sprinkler Irrigation Control Systems market is projected to reach US$ 3703.5 million in 2029, increasing from US$ 1804 million in 2022, with the CAGR of 11.6% during the period of 2023 to 2029. Influencing issues, such as economy environments, COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine War, have led to great market fluctuations in the past few years and are considered comprehensively in the whole Smart Sprinkler Irrigation Control Systems market research.
A key reason for the growth of the smart irrigation market is the increasing relevance of efficient watering techniques and irrigation systems to non-agricultural sectors such as housing, lawn and landscaping, and golf resorts. Smart cities are a growing trend in many parts of the world. Smart cities emphasize efficient water treatment in residential and commercial spaces. As urbanization leads to the loss of green coverage areas to make room for concrete infrastructure, there is a need to maintain a green balance, for which smart irrigation concepts are used. In smart cities, the use of smart irrigation control is expected to surge over the forecast period. Smart irrigation systems are still too expensive for small farmers in rich countries and most landowners in developing economies. Now, the dominance of information technology is limited to advanced countries and is mainly focused on the cultivation of well-known and widely produced commodities such as wheat and rice. To utilize technology consistently and successfully, smart irrigation requires a large initial outlay, efficient farming tools, longer waiting times, and competent and well-informed farmers or producers, among others. The smart irrigation market holds huge growth opportunities in the future as organic farmers and homeowners can now remotely access their irrigation canals thanks to advancements in telecommunications. Wireless transmission technology is replacing traditional hard-wired technology. Advanced wireless sensors offer flexibility, simplicity, and other advantages. Irrigation using radio frequency technology is connected to a wireless signal transmission network. Technological advancements have increased compatibility between command centers and machinery, thereby improving the overall performance of the irrigation process.
