Rising population worldwide has resulted into the ever-increasing demand for food products over the period of time. Additionally, growing water scarcity issues coupled with uncertain/unfavorable climatic conditions is another major challenge for the agriculture sector. As a result, people are now turning towards advance farming practices as an effort to overcome these challenges and increase agricultural yield. Greenhouses are structures made of glass/plastic used for cultivation of various crops such as vegetables, fruits, flowers and others. These structures are capable of providing excellent climate control making crop cultivation easier irrespective of the regional climate.

Greenhouse irrigation systems refer to the subset of micro irrigation systems used specifically for the greenhouse application. These include various irrigation systems such as sprinklers and micro sprinklers, drip irrigation and boom irrigation. Since farming is carried under controlled climatic condition, the water requirement for the plants is relatively less. This makes drip irrigation systems the most suitable form irrigation technique in the greenhouse structures.

The greenhouse irrigation systems market is mainly fueled by the modernizing agriculture practices worldwide. Due to rising population as well as the food requirement worldwide, the adoption of greenhouse structures is expected to expand significantly in the coming years. This in turn is expected to boost the demand for irrigation systems designed specifically for the greenhouse structures. However, high initial and maintenance costs of these structure is major concern for the market growth. This is the most significant hindrance for the greenhouse irrigation systems market.

Product Type Segmentation Analysis

The greenhouse irrigation systems market was dominated by the drip irrigation systems segment in 2014. The segment accounted for a market share, in terms of revenue, of more than forty percent of the total market revenue. Greenhouse farming require lesser water as compared to the open land farming. Additionally, the water losses in greenhouse structures is also low as compared to the open land. This makes drip irrigation systems the most suitable form irrigation method in these structures. As a result, the segment is estimated to retain its dominant position in the market throughout the forecast period.

However, the boom irrigation segment is estimated to register the highest growth in the market during the forecast period. The penetration of boom irrigation systems is currently low. This is majorly due to their high cost and technical complication as compared to the drip and sprinkler systems. Nevertheless, these irrigation systems offer better precision and can be used to supply fertilizers to the plants using the same equipment. As a result, the segment is expected to witness the highest growth in the coming years. Further, the sprinklers and micro sprinklers segment is expected to continue its steady growth during the forecast period.

Application Segmentation Analysis

As of 2014, the global greenhouse irrigation systems market was dominated by the vegetable and fruit crops segment. The segment contributed to more than fifty percent of the total revenue generated worldwide. Greenhouses are highly appropriate for cultivating different vegetables and fruits irrespective of the climatic conditions. Due to strong demand for these food products, the segment is expected to retain its dominant position in the market throughout the forecast period. Some of the most popular vegetable crops cultivated in greenhouses include cucumbers, basil,tomatoes, lettuce and others.

Further, the others segment is estimated to witness the highest growth in the coming years in the global greenhouse irrigation systems market. The others segment mainly comprises nursery crops and herbs. Greenhouses are highly suitable for production of various herb crops. Thus, the adoption of greenhouses for cultivating herbs is expected to soar significantly in the coming years. Consequently, the demand for greenhouse irrigation systems for herbs is predicted to rise significantly during the forecast period. The flowers & ornamental crops are popularly being cultivated in the greenhouses since past several years. Thus, the segment is expected to register moderate growth in the global market during the forecast period.

Geography Segmentation Analysis

The global greenhouse irrigation systems market is dominated, in terms of revenue, by the Asia Pacific region. As of 2014, the region contributed to over one third of the total market revenue generated worldwide. The Asia Pacific greenhouse irrigation systems market is majorly backed by China and Japan. These counties have strong penetration of greenhouses thereby driving the demand for irrigation systems.

Greenhouse farming penetration is witnessing strong growth in India owing to rising population and food production requirement. As a result, the Asia Pacific segment is expected to retain its dominant position in the market throughout the forecast period. The region is projected to expand with the highest CAGR of 9.9% from 2015 to 2023.

The RoW region too is estimated to register strong growth in the global greenhouse irrigation systems market. The market is majorly driven by North Africa, Turkey, Israel and other Middle East countries. North America and Europe are expected to witness steady growth in the market during the forecast period.
