Increasing
Adoption of Drip Irrigation to Boost the Growth of the Drip Irrigation Segment
The market is
classified into type, component, and crop type segments. Drip and sprinkler are
two segments of the type segment. Drip system is widely used in agriculture in
comparison to sprinkler due to its distribution of water through a network of
pipes. While sprinkler is used for the purpose of saving water. This has led to
largescale adoption of drip irrigation for crops that need significant amount
of irrigation and as a result, it is preferred over other systems, which is
creating a positive impact on the drip irrigation segment.
The component
segment is divided into irrigation valves, Drippers, Filters, and Polyethylene
Tubing while the crop type segment is segregated into Field crops, plantation
crops, and orchard crops.
Need to
Improve Water Distribution for Crops in the Asia-Pacific Region to Foster the Growth
of the Market
Increasing
need for adopting efficient irrigation systems in the Asia-Pacific region to
improve water distribution in agriculture is expected to boost the Micro
Irrigation Systems market in the region. Apart from this, government’s support
and policies are encouraging the farmers in the region and promotional
activities for the installation of the Micro Irrigation systems are likely to
foster the growth of the regional market.

Crop
Productivity – Reason for the Increased Adoption of Micro Irrigation Systems
Increasing the need to improve crop productivity and conserve soil and water has led to largescale adoption of the Micro Irrigation Systems. The necessity to incorporate an advanced agricultural system to monitor and control the agricultural field has resulted in increasing demand for a time-based system such as smart sprinklers. Minimizing the loss of fertilizers during irrigation is another important factor expected to boost the growth of the market.
