Micro and Mechanized Irrigation Systems Market

The global micro and mechanized irrigation systems market size was valued at USD 15.64 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to rise in global food demand.

Micro-irrigation is a type of irrigation that uses less water pressure and flow than a standard sprinkler system. It is also called as trickle irrigation or low-volume localized system of irrigation. Row crops, orchards, and vineyards are some of the key plants or crops that are likely to extract benefits from low-volume irrigation. Similar to micro-irrigation, mechanized irrigation is a method of watering crops and fields that rely heavily on mechanical aids such as pumps, sprinklers, spray nozzles, pressure regulators, and other mechanical devices.

Micro and mechanized irrigation systems including as drips and sprinklers promote sustainable agriculture approaches. Small-scale farmers are focusing on using these technologies to reduce crop water consumption and increase productivity. Furthermore, technological improvements have made it possible to monitor micro and automated irrigation systems using linked devices such as tablets and mobile phones. The system is widely applied in maintenance of public parks, sports turfs, and gardens.

The COVID-19 outbreak started in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and had rapidly spread around the world. Pandemic has impacted economies and businesses in a number of countries and caused lockdowns, travel bans, and company closures. The worldwide food and beverage industry is one of the key businesses experiencing significant disruptions due to the supply chain problems in particular. It also largely affected the micro and mechanized irrigation systems market due to shutting down factories, stumbling block in the supply chain, and a global economic downturn.
