EUROPE MICRO IRRIGATION SYSTEMS MARKET FORECAST 2023-2032

The Europe micro irrigation systems market growth evaluation includes the assessment of France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy, Belgium, and Rest of Europe. The agricultural sector in the United Kingdom holds significant importance for its economy. Over the past decade, there has been a notable rise in farm mechanization, leading to a decreased demand for manual labor. Moreover, more than 60% of UK farmers have embraced precision agriculture solutions, employing them for irrigation, monitoring soil and crop behavior, record-keeping, and data management.

As of June 2021, the Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA) in the UK covered an extensive 17.2 million hectares, which accounts for approximately 71% of the country’s total land area. The UAA entails a diverse range of land uses, including arable and horticultural crops, uncropped arable land, grazing areas, and land allocated for outdoor pigs. In terms of economic contribution, agriculture added £11,222 million to the UK economy in 2021, constituting 0.5% of the GDP, indicating an 8.9% growth from the previous year. The industry was comprised of 216,000 farm holdings.

Further, given the common agricultural policy in Europe, the agricultural sector in Frane has undergone a significant transformation. With approximately 90% of the nation’s land being fertile, it serves as a valuable resource for the abundant production of wheat, cereals, sugar beets, potatoes, wine grapes, beef, and dairy products. Modern agricultural solutions have gained substantial ground in the country, leading to reduced labor demand and heightened productivity on farms. 

Nevertheless, French farmers remain apprehensive about the initial high investment required for agricultural equipment and the lack of awareness about suitable options. Besides, anticipated government investments in sustainable farming are expected to boost the adoption rate of micro irrigation systems in the coming years. Such factors propel market growth in these countries. 

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

Sprinkler irrigation refers to the process of pumping and distributing water through a network of pipes, which is then sprayed using sprinklers. To improve efficiency, modern sprinkler irrigation systems have incorporated enhancements like surge protection and pressure regulation. Additionally, manufacturers have developed manually adjustable sprinkler heads, enabling easy changes to the radius, trajectory, and arc. 

Advancements in technology have further led to the introduction of computerized irrigation programs that utilize GPS information or aerial photography to generate scaled field maps. Furthermore, the market has experienced a revolution with the adoption of computer and wireless-controlled systems, providing efficient field operation.
