Saudi Arabia Micro Irrigation System Market Research Report, 2029

Saudi Arabia, home to approximately 35 million residents, encounters distinct challenges related to water scarcity and agricultural output. The nation is predominantly arid, characterized by extensive desert regions that receive limited precipitation, averaging around 100 mm per year in several areas. Consequently, agriculture contributes only 3% to the country’s GDP, yet it remains vital for ensuring food security. The reliance on irrigation is substantial, with over 80% of agricultural land being irrigated to offset the deficiency of natural rainfall. Historically, groundwater extraction has served as the primary water source for agricultural activities; however, excessive extraction has resulted in the depletion of aquifers, raising concerns about the sustainability of this approach. Additionally, the quality of water sources is of paramount importance, as pollution from industrial and agricultural runoff threatens the availability of clean water for irrigation. The Saudi government has acknowledged the significance of sustainable water management in agriculture, highlighting the necessity for advanced technologies to optimize water usage while enabling the agricultural sector to satisfy the increasing demands of its populace. According to the research report, "Saudi Arabia Micro Irrigation System Market Research Report, 2029," published by Actual Market Research, the Italy Micro Irrigation System market is anticipated to add to more than USD 54.10 Million by 2024–29. Farmers are increasingly adopting micro-irrigation methods, including drip and sprinkler systems, as they serve as efficient means to optimize water usage. These systems ensure that water is delivered directly to the root zones of plants, which significantly curtails water loss and boosts crop productivity—an essential factor in a nation where water conservation is paramount. The Saudi government has introduced several initiatives to advance modern irrigation technologies in alignment with its Vision 2030 framework, aiming to enhance agricultural sustainability and lessen reliance on water-intensive crops. Furthermore, investments in infrastructure and the provision of subsidies for micro-irrigation systems have expedited their implementation.

The micro-irrigation system market in Saudi Arabia is dominated by drip irrigation systems, which account for a significant portion of the market share. Drip irrigation, also known as trickle irrigation, is a highly efficient method that delivers water directly to the root zone through a network of emitters, minimizing water losses due to evaporation and runoff. This technology is particularly well-suited for Saudi Arabia's arid climate and limited water resources, as it allows for precise water application, reducing the risk of over-irrigation and waterlogging. In addition to its water-saving benefits, drip irrigation can also help to improve soil health by promoting deep root development and reducing nutrient leaching. While sprinkler irrigation systems and other irrigation methods (such as bubbler and spray systems) are also used in certain applications, drip irrigation's superior efficiency and adaptability have made it the leading choice for many farmers in Saudi Arabia, particularly in regions with limited water availability. Field Crops, Orchards and Vineyards, Plantation Crops, and Other Crops are the main market categories for micro irrigation systems in Saudi Arabia. Due to their high water requirements and the urgent need for effective irrigation techniques in the nation's arid climate, plantation crops and field crops dominate the market. Micro irrigation systems, which provide precise amounts of water directly to the root zone, greatly benefit field crops like wheat and barley. This maximizes development while conserving water, which is crucial in an area where water shortage is a major problem. In a similar vein, plantation crops—including fruits like citrus and dates—need steady moisture to grow at their best. For this reason, farmers are increasingly using micro irrigation systems to make sure these crops get enough water without using too much. COVID-19 Impact COVID-19, followed by lockdowns across several economies is negatively influencing the agriculture industry, especially from the perspective of labor. The crisis is expected to continue in the upcoming months owing to suspended trade across economies at present. There is no doubt that the pandemic will affect the market negatively as well, however, to what extent can only be anticipated once the pandemic ends. Less labor associated with the operation of some of the micro irrigation practices, coupled with the availability of automated systems especially across the developed market is expected to remain the prominent reasons for the plausible market stability. the economic slowdown caused due to the COVID-19 can impact the number of annual installations of high-priced micro irrigation systems.

The approach of the report: This report consists of a combined approach of primary as well as secondary research. Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and listing out the companies that are present in the market. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual report of companies, analysing the government generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources primary research was conducted by making telephonic interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducted trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this we have started doing primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting consumers in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us we have started verifying the details obtained from secondary sources. Intended audience This report can be useful to industry consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, associations & organizations related to micro irrigation market trends, agriculture industry, and other stakeholders to align their market-centric strategies. In addition to marketing & presentations, it will also increase competitive knowledge about the industry.
