R2000FX has the ability to deliver water at low-pressure, which reduces the need for tight spacing or application rates, unlike other types of low-pressure sprinklers. It employs a rotator mechanism alongside plate motion that is off-axis.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Growing Water Shortages Spur the Adoption of Microirrigation Systems</h2>
Water scarcity contributes greatly towards the adoption of microirrigation systems as a solution to overcome the challenges affecting agricultural productivity across the globe. Global warming, overutilization and depletion of water resources, and escalation in urban, industrial, and agricultural activities lead to competition for available water resources. This shortage, particularly in areas prone to drought, makes proper application of water imperative. In such situations, microirrigation systems such as drip and sprinkler irrigation, which supply water directly at the roots of the plant, are a better option as they help to reduce water usage considerably compared to the traditional ways of watering. For instance, in August 2024, the European Union and UNDP implemented a solar powered drip irrigation system in household gardens in Akkurgan district of Tashkent, known for its water scarcity. With the help of solar panels, the system included a water pump that extracted water from a vertical well 180 meters deep. This solar-powered irrigation system was designed to irrigate 3 hectares of land and cater to 30 households in total.
These systems are capable of maintaining high levels of productivity under water-scarce conditions as they allow the crops to be supplied with the required amount of water. With water resources becoming more limited, it is anticipated that the use of microirrigation systems will increase sharply, thus making it an indispensable component of sustainable agriculture in the forecast period.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Rising Need to Improve Crop Yields to Feed a Growing Population to Fuel Market Growth</h2>
The increasing global population, projected at 9.7 billion people by 2050, and food demand are major factors fueling the micro-irrigation systems market. This explosive expansion puts an enormous burden on agricultural systems to enhance food production, even on a small amount of available arable land, necessitating enhanced agricultural efficiency and output. In a bid to enhance agricultural productivity, governments across the globe are countering this challenge by providing subsidies and incentives for the use of water-saving irrigation techniques. As a result, the productivity of crops is improved as water and nutrients are delivered more effectively with the use of microirrigation systems. For instance, in February 2024, under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), the Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) entitled Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) was implemented in India. The aim of the PDMC is to enhance the economic productivity of water at the farm level through the adoption of microirrigation systems such as drip and sprinkler irrigation. The scheme provides a subsidy of 55% for the installation of microirrigation systems to the small and marginal farmers, while others receiving a subsidy of 45%. Moreover, some states provide additional benefits or top-up subsidies to farmers, encouraging them to adopt the practice of microirrigation.
With the help of these systems, farmers are able to grow crops with a higher economic value in areas with little water, helping to ensure that the food supply remains constant.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Commercial Usage to Hold Significant Market Share</h2>
A significant portion of the microirrigation systems market is from commercial usage as this class of users, especially farmers cultivating on huge agricultural lands, pursue maximum efficiency and increased production. Commercial farms, especially growing high-value crops such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, stand to benefit from microirrigation, since it ensures accurate delivery of water and nutrients, hence increasing the quantity and quality of crops produced. Such farms frequently work in areas with limited water resources. Therefore, efficient irrigation is critical to preserving their profitability and long-term existence. Also, the growing demand for produce of export-standards has driven commercial farmers to embrace modern methods of irrigation that are able to keep up with quality standards. Government subsidies and other incentives for the adoption of water-saving irrigation technologies serve to motivate the commercial farmers to apply microirrigation techniques. With the ongoing growth of extensive agricultural activities, the commercial sector&rsquo;s need for microirrigation systems is projected to increase, supporting its leading market share and enhancing the overall growth of the market.
In September 2023, to boost the irrigation economy and efficiency for sports fields, stadiums, and large commercial turf areas, Rain Bird Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. introduced its new 11000 Series in-ground rotary sprinklers. The 11000 series rotary sprinkler does not require as many sprinklers to cover a large area compared to ordinary rotary sprinkler solutions, as it can distribute water evenly within a radius of 32 meters. Moreover, a 6.9 cm top exposed diameter of the 11000 series allows the athletes to be less distracted by the sprinklers.
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">North America to Hold a Significant Market Share</h2>
A substantial portion of the global microirrigation systems market belongs to North America, attributed to its advanced agricultural techniques and emphasis on water efficiency. Above all, the United States boasts of an economically advanced agricultural society that encourages water conservation in all forms, ensuring efficient usage of water in all states, including California and Southwestern states, which are mostly arid. The implementation of microirrigation systems is increasing due to government initiatives and subsidies that aim to promote water-saving irrigation methods among farmers.
