DRIP IRRIGATION MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Using this method water is either dripped onto the soil surface above the roots or directly to the root zone. This method aims to reduce water evaporation. Drip irrigation system, with proper installation and management can help in substantial conservation of water by controlling evaporation and drainage. It can be used effectively for all soil types and it can control soil erosion. Moreover, the drip system is also helpful in providing organic matter and nutrients to the plants through the drip pipes.

It is most efficient method of irrigation, as it requires less amount of water and wets only the required area. This system has potential to provide high yield with limited resources, which has propelled its demand for agricultural use. Furthermore, government initiatives of providing subsidies for drip irrigation is major factor boosting growth of the global drip irrigation market. However, the high installation cost of drip irrigation system is expected to be the major restraining factor for growth of the market.
