ASIA-PACIFIC MICRO IRRIGATION SYSTEMS MARKET FORECAST 2023-2032

However, the Asia-Pacific micro irrigation systems market growth is hindered by the lack of infrastructure and low awareness among farmers. 

The Asia-Pacific micro irrigation systems market growth analysis includes the assessment of Australia & New Zealand, Thailand, Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, South Korea, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. China boasts an extensive agricultural heritage and a deeply ingrained culture of intensive cultivation. With a rural population of over 300 million, the nation holds a prominent position in the global agricultural landscape. Currently, China’s agricultural industry plays a pivotal role, accounting for 18% of the world’s cereal grains, 29% of world’s meat, and an impressive 50% of the world’s vegetables. As a result, China contributes approximately 20% of the world’s total food production, establishing itself as the largest agricultural economy worldwide.

Over the course of decades, China has experienced significant per-capita agricultural output demand, and its agricultural sector remains heavily reliant on labor. According to the World Bank, 18% of the total employed population in China is engaged in the agricultural sector, signifying a remarkable reduction in agricultural labor force numbers. This shift has been a critical catalyst driving the widespread adoption of advanced agricultural equipment, technologies, and practices throughout the country.

Furthermore, in response to the widespread adoption of ICT in agriculture and its demonstrated advantages in enhancing agricultural productivity, the South Korean Government has taken the initiative to implement smart farming policies and initiatives. This includes the development of expansive smart farm complexes and targeted efforts to engage the nation’s young workforce in agriculture through specialized training courses. 

Additionally, the government aims to allocate small plots of farmland to those who have received training in smart farming techniques, thus enabling them to establish and operate their own smart farming enterprises.

The Asia-Pacific micro irrigation systems market segmentation includes crop type, product type, and end-user. The product type segment includes sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation. 

Drip irrigation is a highly efficient and precise irrigation method that delivers water directly to plant roots. It relies on a network of tubes, emitters, and valves to provide controlled water and nutrient supply. Within the micro irrigation systems market, drip irrigation has gained considerable popularity due to its manifold advantages.

One such advantage is water efficiency. By delivering water precisely to the plant’s root zone, this method minimizes water wastage through evaporation or runoff. Such a targeted approach ensures optimal water utilization, resulting in substantial water savings compared to traditional irrigation techniques.
