Sprinkler Irrigation Market Report 2026

The sprinkler irrigation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.36 billion in 2025 to $3.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of irrigated agricultural land, rising food production demand, dependence on rainfall variability, growth in commercial farming, adoption of mechanized irrigation methods.

The sprinkler irrigation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing water scarcity concerns, government support for efficient irrigation, growth in precision agriculture, expansion of orchard and turf irrigation, rising adoption of automated irrigation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of centre pivot irrigation systems, growing demand for uniform water distribution, increased use of low pressure sprinkler systems, higher focus on water use efficiency, expansion of modular and scalable irrigation setups.

The expansion of irrigated agricultural land is anticipated to drive growth in the sprinkler irrigation market. Irrigated agricultural land refers to land that is deliberately and systematically supplied with water, usually through artificial methods, to support crop cultivation. Sprinkler irrigation equipment is used in agricultural irrigation to improve water conservation, protect crops, and enhance efficiency in water and resource management. For instance, in December 2023, according to the Government of the United Kingdom, a UK-based information website, the total croppable area in 2023 exceeded 6 million hectares, accounting for slightly more than one-third (36%) of the Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA). Consequently, the rise in irrigated agricultural land is expected to support the growth of the sprinkler irrigation market in the coming years.

Major companies operating in the sprinkler irrigation market are concentrating on the development of digital water distribution systems to improve precision, optimize water use, and enhance overall irrigation efficiency. A digital water distribution system refers to an advanced technological approach to managing and distributing water through irrigation networks. These systems leverage digital tools, sensors, and data analytics to monitor, control, and optimize water flow in real time. For example, in May 2024, the National Informatics Centre (NIC), an India-based department under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, launched a unique digital water distribution system. This innovative platform is designed to improve transparency and efficiency in water distribution from the Gang Canal and Indira Gandhi Canal, enabling farmers to access information on the status of water reaching their fields and reducing human errors associated with traditional manual systems.
