Irrigation Controllers: "Less Water. More Savings and Healthy Landscape"
An irrigation controller is a device to operate automatic irrigation systems such as lawn sprinklers and drip irrigation systems. Most controllers have a means of setting the frequency of irrigation, the start time, and the duration of watering.
Irrigation controllers, especially smart controllers, are an advanced way of water management in the irrigation process. Traditional irrigation systems, such as surface irrigation, are prevalent and highly preferred due to their low investment costs. However, in this method, there are high chances of huge quantity of water wastage and low qualitative and quantitative crop production compared to advanced irrigation system. This factor forces growers to switch from traditional irrigation methods to advanced irrigation techniques such as irrigation controllers. Irrigation controllers monitor weather conditions, soil structure, evaporation status, water intake, and water usage & requirement. Smart irrigation controllers consist of sensors that have the capability to adjust the sprinkler time based on requirement and weather condition. Thus, irrigation controllers help to provide efficient flow of irrigational water, thereby declining water wastages and minimize the problem of water scarcity.
The growth of this market is backed by factors such as progressive government initiatives to promote water conservation, growing adoption of modern agricultural techniques, the growing importance of reducing water wastage, and increasing demand for irrigation controllers in lawns and gardens. Moreover, rising automation in irrigation and significant growth potential in developing economies provide significant opportunities in this market.

The irrigation controllers market is segmented based on type, irrigation type, application, and geography. The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the country level.
Rising automation in irrigation is one of the major factors driving the growth of the irrigation controllers market
Considering the benefits of smart irrigation and precision irrigation processes, there is rising adoption of automation in irrigation. To improve the yield and reduce the consumption of water, farmers are using IoT sensors. These sensors, placed in the field, send real-time data to a central gateway that automatically switches on a water pump whenever moisture or temperature values are outside the predetermined range. Wireless low-power networks like LoRa empower IoT sensors and allow the information to flow in real-time to and from the central gateway. An end-user can manage the entire smart irrigation system through a custom cloud-based platform or mobile application. It results in more efficient water management with higher crop yields and lowers costs.
Considering the rising adoption of automation in irrigation, major companies are investing in expanding their market presence. For instance, in January 2020, CropX, a leading global soil sensing and agricultural analytics company, acquired Nebraska-based CropMetrics, a prominent provider of cloud-based, precision-irrigation tools. CropMetrics added over 500,000 acres under management and over ten years of in-depth U.S. farm data to the CropX farm management platform. Further, in May 2021, Netafim Limited, a company that provides irrigation equipment and water technologies, launched an intelligent automated filter, AlphaDisc filter. The filter protects irrigation systems against clogging caused by organic contaminants and enables growers to more uniformly irrigate crops, leading to better productivity and cost savings.

To provide efficient analysis, Meticulous Research® has segmented this market based on type [smart irrigation controllers (sensor-based and weather-based irrigation controllers], tap timer, and basic controllers), irrigation type (sprinkler and drip irrigation), and application [non-agricultural (golf and sports grounds, residential, commercial, other non-agricultural applications) and agriculture (open-field and closed-field agriculture)], and geography (Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
Based on type, the irrigation controllers market is mainly segmented into smart controllers, tap timers, and basic controllers. In 2021, the smart controllers segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to their higher adoption in developed countries and growing demand in developing countries owing to their advantages over traditional or basic irrigation controllers.
Based on irrigation type, the irrigation controllers market is segmented into sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation. In 2021, the drip irrigation segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the rising innovation & automation in drip irrigation systems and the adoption of new agriculture technologies.
Based on application, the non-agricultural segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is mainly attributed to the growing demand for better sports grounds across the world, rising use of irrigation controllers for indoor and outdoor landscapes, and increasing implementation of irrigation controllers by commercial property management companies, educational institutes, public sector buildings, and public offices management companies to keep a check on water consumption.

Geographically, the market is segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The North American region is expected to account for the largest share of the global irrigation controllers market in 2021, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this region is mainly attributed to the strong government support, rapid population growth, increasing need to enhance crop productivity and minimize water wastage, increasing awareness among farmers about the benefits of irrigation controllers, and increased need for reducing wastage of water.
In North America, the U.S. is expected to account for the largest share of the irrigation controllers market. The market growth is mainly attributed to the growing need for water conservation, increased need for modern agricultural practices, and the growing lawn and garden area. The U.S. is considered as one of the most prominent countries on the global irrigation controllers market map. The U.S. is the world’s third-largest country in terms of area and population and facing the problem of water stress in many parts, mainly in the Southwest, Western Great Plains, and parts of the Northwest area due to limited water sources and increased water demand for the agricultural use. Continuously growing population, increasing urbanization & industrialization, and expansion of agricultural areas impose a rapid increase in the demand and pressure on water resources in the country.
