Mechanized Irrigation Systems Market By Type (Center Pivot Irrigation Systems, Linear Move Irrigation Systems), By Application (Agriculture, Gardens & Landscape) - Growth, Share, Opportunities & Competitive Analysis, 2016 - 2022

Increasing population worldwide has resulted into a strong need for efficient and modern agricultural practices. With the rising population and uncertain climatic conditions, the farmers are increasingly shifting towards automated irrigation systems reduced water loss. Thus, irrigation systems remain among the most important components in agriculture and need to be chosen carefully. Due to rising water scarcity issues worldwide, it becomes essential to adopt modern irrigation techniques. Some of the most popular irrigation used are sprinkler irrigation, drip irrigation and mechanized irrigation systems.

Mechanized irrigation systems are equipment comprising components such as spans, towers, drivetrains, tubing, control unit and sprinklers. The major difference between mechanized and conventional irrigation systems is the mechanical construction of the former for better operation and land coverage. With the help of spans, towers and drivetrains, these irrigation systems can be used across large stretch of land for irrigation. This makes mechanized irrigation highly water efficient systems that deliver water with minimum losses. Mechanized irrigation systems are among the most promising ways of achieving productive agricultural practices.

The mechanized irrigation systems market is largely propelled by the agriculture modernizing worldwide. The demand for these systems is also driven by the rising water scarcity issues coupled with need for higher food agricultural yield. Further, companies across the world are focusing on providing automated irrigation systems including moisture sensors and remote control. This is another factor fueling the market growth.

Application Segmentation Analysis

On the basis of applications, the mechanized irrigation systems market is segmented into following categories:

• Agriculture
• Gardens & Landscapes

As of 2014, the global mechanized irrigation systems market was dominated by the agriculture segment. The segment accounted for a market share, in terms of revenue, of over two third of the total market. Mechanized irrigation systems are highly suitable for large farms and landscapes. The demand for mechanized irrigation systems is mainly driven by the rising adoption of automated irrigation systems in agriculture practices.

Additionally, with rising population and water scarcity issues, it becomes essential to increase agricultural yields with minimum wastage of natural resources. Many national governments are now making efforts towards development of their agriculture sector. Additionally, automation in agriculture too is expected to witness strong penetration in the coming years. Thus, the demand for mechanized irrigation systems is expected to remain strong in agriculture during the forecast period. Subsequently, the segment is expected to retain its dominant position in the market throughout the forecast period.

The others segment is expected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The segment comprises nurseries, greenhouses and sports grounds. Due to uncertain weather conditions, many farmers worldwide are turning towards greenhouse and nursery farming. Mechanized irrigation systems are increasingly being used for irrigating nursery crops. As a result, the others segment is expected to register strong mechanized irrigation penetration during the forecast period.
