Smart Irrigation Market - Forecasts from 2019 to 2024

The smart irrigation market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.51% to reach US$1,896.742 million by 2024, from US$687.597 million in 2018. The rising scarcity of water, combined with the integration of technological advancements in the field of agriculture are the main drivers behind the growth of the smart irrigation market. Furthermore, increasing initiatives to promote efficiency and enhance land productivity are also some of the key reason fulling the smart irrigation market during the coming years. However, the high costs associated with the installation of these systems, along with the lack of awareness regarding their availability and usage, especially in developing economies are projected to heavily restrain the market growth during the forecast period. Geographically, Europe and North America are projected to hold a substantial share in the market owing to the early adoption of technology. The Asia Pacific is projected to show multiple growth opportunities in the coming years due to the increasing focus towards efficient management of resources and high economic dependency on agriculture in major developing nations.
