Drippers Market by Type (Inline and Online), Crop Type (Field Crops (Corn, Cotton, Sugarcane, Rice), Fruits & Nuts, Vegetable Crops), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Rest of the world) - Global Forecast to 2027

Drippers Market by Type (Inline and Online), Crop Type (Field Crops (Corn, Cotton, Sugarcane, Rice), Fruits & Nuts, Vegetable Crops), and Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Rest of the world) - Global Forecast to 2027

According to MarketsandMarkets, the global drippers market is estimated to be valued at USD 288 million in 2022 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% and reach USD 469 million by 2027 in terms of value. The demand for irrigation and efficient water management systems has been witnessing steady growth in developing countries such as China, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, and India. The largest population and the ever-increasing demand for food grains in these countries are some of the major key factors driving the drippers market in these regions. In the developed markets, growers have been adopting innovative irrigation technology platforms for large-scale farming activities to improve crop yield and increase their returns. Adopting innovative irrigation technologies from developed and developing countries in agriculture has been driving the drippers market.

“By type, inline is forecasted to gain the largest market share in the drippers market during the study period.”

Inline drippers are prepared from linear low-density polyethylene material. Inline emitters are also mostly self-flushing and thus provide help to maximize resistance against clogging. Inline emitters are suitable for both surface irrigation and subsurface irrigation. Equally spaced plants are best suited for inline drippers to reduce connections with a plain pipe in potential irrigation-free zones. Inline drippers are simple to install and will start dripping dependably as soon as one end of the pipe is linked to a water source because the dripper insertion operation is carried out during the extrusion process.

“By crop type, field crops is anticipated to acquire the largest market share in the drippers market during the review period.”

Due to its precise application to the crops, drip irrigation has become more and more important to growers of field crops. Cotton is one of the major crops grown worldwide in which drip irrigation systems are being installed rapidly. With drip irrigation adoption, yields can be doubled with actual water use halved. If the water application method is precise and regular, an average of 4mm daily irrigation is sufficient for cotton. This drip is achieved by adopting quality drip systems with suitable drippers.

“The Asia Pacific region is projected to account for the largest market share in the drippers market during the forecast period.”

Low-pressure dripper systems have been applied to small-scale vegetable farmers in many countries in the Asia Pacific. As the focus has shifted from traditional crops to more commercial crops, irrigation facilities are expected to modernize their irrigation management and, preferably, move towards drip irrigation. The growth of this region is also attributed to countries like India and China. The high level of agricultural production, however, has led to the rapid depletion of groundwater levels, which has severely impacted the ecosystem in China. Inefficient irrigation methods used by Chinese farmers have resulted in a significant decrease in freshwater security. Considering this, the government designated USD 138 billion for developing and distributing drip irrigation systems across farms in different provinces.
