Global Smart Irrigation Controllers Market Analysis & Trends - Industry Forecast to 2030

Smart Irrigation Controllers: Market Size

From $2.12 billion in 2024, the global Smart Irrigation Controllers market is projected to reach $5.99 billion by 2030. Based on our analysis the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% from 2024 - 2030 timeframe. Some of the prominent trends that the market is witnessing include advancements in sensors and controllers used in smart irrigation systems, integration of smartphones with wireless irrigation controllers, and government initiatives to promote water conservation.

Global Smart Irrigation Controllers Market: Market Dynamics

The rising importance of efficient watering practices and irrigation solutions for non-agricultural applications is a major factor driving the growth of this market. Smart cities emphasize on the efficient management of water in commercial as well as residential spaces. Urbanization leads to the decrease of green cover to make way for concrete infrastructure hence it becomes imperative to maintain the green balance for which the smart irrigation concept is being leveraged. The adoption of smart irrigation controllers is expected to increase exponentially in smart cities in coming years.

On the other hand, the limited technical knowledge among farmers is likely to obstruct the profit boundaries. In addition, advancements in communication technologies 5G network will further boost for the Smart Irrigation Controllers market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Smart Irrigation Controllers

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in the disruption of various sectors of the economy, and the agriculture sector is also being affected by it. However, the increased awareness among the farmers to use technology for farming operations, can lead to the automation of several field operations such as the use of various sensors. The other integrated solutions involving controllers and water flow meters for irrigation purpose can be seen to have a better adoption in the developing countries as the labor crisis are hindering the irrigation management.

By Type

Sensor-based controllers Segment Dominate the Market in 2024

The sensor-based controllers segment made huge revenue in 2024 and growing its prominence during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of sensor-based systems in agricultural irrigation to save water and increase crop yield. Sensor-based smart irrigation controllers are pre-programmed according to the level of moisture present in the soil. They are more effective than weather-based systems as they can respond to specific zone irrigation requirements based on actual soil moisture levels.

By Geography

North America Region is Leading in the Global Market Place

North America region is likely to have a huge demand in the forecast period. Manufacturers of smart irrigation controllers are targeting this region for business development as the region showcases high attractiveness and increase potential. This has triggered the use of smart irrigation controllers in the region.
