Controllers is expected to witness the largest market size in the smart irrigation market during the forecast period.
The smart irrigation market for controllers is expected to hold the largest market size due to the increasing adoption of this technology for irrigation scheduling in agriculture, residential and commercial properties, lawns, gardens, and landscaping. Smart controllers utilize weather and sensor data to automatically adjust irrigation schedules based on environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. They offer features like multiple programs for different plant watering needs, rain delay settings, sensor input terminals for rain/freeze and soil moisture, and remote operation.
Sensor-based controller system type is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The smart irrigation market for sensor-based controller system type is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This growth is driven by the increasing adoption of sensor-based controller systems in agricultural irrigation to save water and boost crop yield. Sensor-based controller systems can interpret precise data from various sensors, such as temperature, soil moisture, rain, and humidity sensors installed in the field.
They are preferred over weather-based systems because they do not rely on weather forecasts or data from weather stations but capture real-time data from field-mounted sensors and transfer it to the cloud. Sensor-based smart irrigation controllers are pre-programmed according to the soil moisture level, initiating irrigation as soon as the moisture reading falls below the threshold. These controller systems are more effective than weather-based systems as they can respond to specific zone irrigation requirements based on actual soil moisture levels.
Europe is expected to have the second-largest market size during the forecast period.
Europe is expected to have the second-largest market size during the forecast period. This is attributed to its extensive cultivated and irrigated land areas. Various European governments have launched initiatives to promote the adoption of smart irrigation, such as the European Irrigation Association (EIA) and the Flexible and Precise Irrigation Platform to Improve Farm Scale Water Productivity (FIGARO). Key drivers for the smart irrigation market in this region include rising farming operation costs, increased government initiatives to promote water conservation, and the growing importance of automated irrigation solutions to boost farm profitability.
