Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market Global Report 2026

The agricultural irrigation machinery market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $26.28 billion in 2025 to $28.06 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing water scarcity in agricultural regions, rising government support for irrigation infrastructure, growing demand for higher crop productivity, expanding cultivation in water-stressed areas, and increasing adoption of modern farming practices.

The agricultural irrigation machinery market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investment in sustainable agriculture, rising adoption of solar-powered irrigation systems, growing demand for precision farming equipment, expanding commercial farming activities, and increasing focus on efficient water resource management. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of water-efficient irrigation systems, rising demand for precision water management, growing shift toward automated irrigation equipment, expanding use of low-pressure irrigation systems, and increasing adoption of climate-resilient irrigation solutions.

The rising food demand is expected to drive the growth of the agricultural irrigation machinery market going forward. Food demand refers to the total quantity of food that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given time and price level. Food demand is increasing primarily due to population growth, as a larger population requires greater food production to meet daily nutritional needs. Agricultural irrigation machinery supports rising food demand by providing crops with a reliable and controlled water supply, improving yields, enabling multiple cropping cycles, and reducing reliance on rainfall. For instance, in January 2024, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, a US-based federal executive department, food expenditures accounted for an average of 12.9 percent of U.S. household spending in 2023, slightly increasing from 12.8 percent in 2022. Therefore, the rising food demand is driving the growth of the agricultural irrigation machinery market.

Major companies operating in the agricultural irrigation machinery market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as precision drip emitter fabrication technology, to improve water-use efficiency, increase irrigation accuracy, and support large-scale sustainable agriculture through enhanced emitter quality and production scalability. Precision drip emitter fabrication technology refers to advanced manufacturing processes and automated systems used to produce drip irrigation emitters with highly accurate flow control, uniform performance, and consistent quality for efficient water delivery. For instance, in November 2025, Rivulis Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based irrigation technology manufacturer, launched the world’s largest dripper manufacturing facility, designed to significantly increase production capacity for drip irrigation emitters while ensuring consistent product quality at scale. The technology provides benefits such as improved manufacturing efficiency, greater drip uniformity, and reduced production variability. It is intended to help customers achieve higher irrigation efficiency and improved crop productivity while supporting global trends toward water conservation and precision agriculture.

In March 2023, Rivulis Pte. Ltd., an Israel-based manufacturer of agricultural irrigation solutions, acquired the international irrigation business of Jain Irrigation Systems Limited for $535 million. Through this acquisition, Rivulis aimed to strengthen its agricultural irrigation machinery portfolio by expanding its global manufacturing footprint, enhancing its drip and micro irrigation product offerings, and increasing its presence across key agricultural markets worldwide. Jain Irrigation Systems Limited is an India-based company that manufactures agricultural irrigation machinery, including drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and precision irrigation systems.
