TOP 10 COMPANIES IN IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT MARKET

The Irrigation Equipment Market is projected to reach $15.75 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2024 to 2031. The growth of the irrigation equipment market is driven by increasing water scarcity, government initiatives for water conservation, and the growing need to mechanize agricultural operations. However, the high costs of implementing and maintaining advanced agricultural irrigation equipment restrain the market’s growth.

Furthermore, technological advancements in irrigation equipment and increasing automation in irrigation systems are expected to generate growth opportunities for the stakeholders in this market. However, the lack of awareness regarding advanced irrigation technologies is a major challenge impacting the market’s growth.

Additionally, the increasing adoption of precision farming techniques and the emergence of Irrigation as a Service (IaaS) are prominent trends in the irrigation equipment market.
