Innovations in Drip Irrigation: Latest Trends and Technologies

Drip Irrigation Market Report Size, Share & Forecast, 2027
The drip irrigation market size is expected to grow rapidly in the next years, rising from $5.2 billion in 2022 to $8.3 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2022 to 2027. Innovative irrigation techniques, such as drip irrigation, have been designed to deliver the required amount of water to a crop at a specified time. The usage of drip irrigation systems enables a 45% reduction in water requirement in comparison with conventional methods. Drip irrigation is more efficient than conventional methods and sprinkler irrigation because water is applied directly to the root zone; hence, water evaporation losses are also minimum. A well-designed drip irrigation system minimizes evaporation, water runoff, or deep percolation in silty soil. Owing to these advantages, drip irrigation is gaining popularity in many countries which have limited water sources for irrigation. Israel is the country that has innovated drip irrigation technology as the country does not have sufficient water for irrigation and is efficiently using the technology for crop cultivation.
