Growth Factors in the North America Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market
- Increasing Water Scarcity and Need for Efficient Water Management
Water scarcity is an immediate issue across North America, but it is most pressing in the western United States, where farmers have been managing water supplies for agricultural irrigation through extended droughts. To manage their water usage, farmers have resorted to more advanced irrigation systems that provide water through drip or sprinkler systems. Farmers in California, for example, a primary focus for agriculture, have increasingly adopted drip irrigation systems to manage high-value crop production of almonds and grapes by targeting delivery of water closer to the plant roots. Systems intended for drip irrigation are designed to minimize loss of water with increased efficiencies related to crop production resulting from these systems. Farms are facing water scarcity; as climate change is increasing the demand for irrigation techniques, adoption of more efficient irrigation systems could be at its tipping point; the potential for the market will only expand. - Adoption of Precision Agriculture Technologies
Due to the emergence of precision agriculture, farming is changing the way farmers are doing things in North America, and the need for advanced irrigation technology is growing. Technology that includes: GPS, IoTs sensors, and automation are available to help farmers define soil moisture and apply water correctly. For example, John Deere partnered with GUSS Automation in 2022 to launch semi-autonomous GUSS sprayers that incorporate precision irrigation to improve water use practices in orchards and vineyards. These technologies help the farmer to improve their yields while sourcing less resources, especially water intensive yields like corn and soybeans. The growth of precision farming also presents an increased demand for precision irrigation to maintain a compatible farming practices. - Government Support and Subsidies for Sustainable Practices
Various government programs across North America (the United States and Canada in particular) are also positively affecting the irrigation machinery market and they'll continue to do so by providing support for farmers looking to practice sustainable agriculture. In the USDA's Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), farmers can access subsidies for the adoption of water-efficient technology, for example. The USDA (2023) noted that irrigated farms produce over 54% of the value of U.S. crop output, demonstrating the impact that supported irrigation practices have on farm output. These support programs ultimately benefit farmers by incentivizing investment in advanced systems such as pivot irrigation (here is an example of a common system used when farming crops like wheat and cotton) to support crop irrigation practices and thereby making technology available for farmers, which will have a beneficial impact on the vehicle market.
Key Trends in the North America Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market
- Growing Use of Smart Irrigation Systems
Smart irrigation systems send out rippling waves through North America right now due to incorporating IoT and automation to minimize water usability. Smart irrigation systems utilize sensors to monitor soil moisture, weather conditions, and crop needs in order to create a real-time irrigation schedule for farmers to follow. For example, Rain Bird wholesale smart irrigation controllers have the most installations of any irrigation system in the U.S. and provide farmers with the capability to remotely control their water delivery and reduce wasted and inefficiencies due to continuous monitoring. We see most of this transition across large-scale farms mostly associated with corn and soybeans because this is where efficiency matters most to fruition. Farmers who commit to sustainable land and cost-saving methods transition into smart irrigation systems and shift the way market values work. - Increased Adoption of Drones for Irrigation Management
Drones are transforming irrigation management by providing farmers with real time data on crop health and soil moisture. Drones no longer fly undifferentiated like low-flying helicopters but rather drones equipped with thermal imaging and multispectral sensors. This ultimately equips the farmer to increase or diminish the amount of water to specific parts of their field. In 2024, the USDA reported an 8.5% increase in specialty crop acreage. Increased use of drones is being driven by many fruits and vegetables, which cover other subspecialties. Farmers from California's Central Valley are now on the forefront of monitoring their vineyard irrigation with drones, so water is being distributed optimally. This new use of technology will only grow as the business of farming will continue to exist all over the world. Large-scale operations will become the biggest benefactors of this new technology and take full advantage of efficiency and the potential to grow the market as a whole, not for individual benefits. - Shift Toward Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Solutions
Sustainability is integral to the agricultural sector, and specifically to irrigation machinery manufacturers, in North America. Recently, companies have been focusing on green solutions. For example, Netafim is a company that is adopting drip irrigation systems to use less water and energy while adhering to environmental regulations. In 2023, the EPA noticed that 25% of agricultural water sources needed advanced filtration, and therefore, there has been a concerted effort to incorporate sustainable technologies into irrigation systems. Both in Canada, and in the U.S., we have seen more farmer adoption of solar powered irrigation pumps, especially in rural areas where reducing carbon footprints while maintaining production is a priority.
