Irrigation Automation Market Drivers and Opportunities
Growing Awareness Related to the Benefits Provided by Irrigation Technologies is Driving the Market
Farmers are becoming more aware of automated irrigation technologies associated with the high labor and electricity costs. Irrigation technologies provide significant benefits to the users, such as water conservation, process automation, and cost-saving, among others are driving the market. These benefits increase awareness among farmers, which surges the adoption of irrigation technologies. These technologies support farmers in decreasing daily electricity use, as well as reducing in time and effort spent on irrigation. Moreover, farmers were able to reduce the amount of farm trips through automation, resulting in lower labor expenditures. The installation of an automated irrigation system improves agricultural precision by determining the exact volume of water and irrigation time. This precision reduces crop losses for farmers and boosts total productivity.
Government Initiatives to Promote Irrigation Automation – An Opportunity in the Irrigation Automation Market
The majority of farmers in underdeveloped nations employ conventional irrigation systems (surface irrigation), which is a time-consuming process. This encourages the governments of various nations to take favorable initiatives to promote irrigation automation, which is expected to create opportunities in the market. Many governments in developing nations such as India, China, Brazil, the US, France, and other African countries offer grants for the purchase of drip and sprinkler systems in order to increase the efficiency of their irrigation systems. Moreover, strict policies that encourage the use of sprinkler and drip irrigation systems help farmers to adopt technologically developed systems on their farms, such as acquiring and reinstalling farm irrigation devices (sprinklers and drip irrigation systems). These factors are creating significant growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
