Asia Pacific drip irrigation systems market size was valued at US$ 708.3 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 12.7% from 2024-2030. Drip irrigation is known as trickle irrigation. It involves the dripping of water at very low rates onto the soil usually, 2-20 liters per hour using small cylindrical plastic pipes filled with outlets called drippers or emitters. Unlike the other techniques such as surface and sprinkler irrigation, in which the whole soil profile is wetted, in the market, only soil where the routes grow is wetted. So there is a need for frequent irrigation and it provides a very favorable high moisture level where plants can flourish.

Drip irrigation is most suitable for row crops such as soft fruits, vegetable crops, and tree and vine crops, where one or more emitters can be provided for each plant. Typically drip system consists of the pump unit, controlled head, laterals, emitters or drippers, and main and sub-main lines. Therefore, regular irrigation is essential to maintain a high moisture level for plant growth. Drip irrigation is one of the most preferred and appropriate techniques for row crops such as vegetable crops, soft fruits, and vine crops where one or more than one emitter is provided for every plant. Generally, drip irrigation systems contain drippers, pump units, laterals, main as well as sub-main lines, and a controlled head.
