North America Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market

North America Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market Overview:

The North America agricultural irrigation machinery market size reached USD 8.55 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.06 Billion by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.90% during 2025-2033. The North American agricultural irrigation equipment market is fueled by growing water scarcity issue, rising use of precision farming technologies, enhanced emphasis on sustainability, innovation in smart irrigation systems, and government incentives for water conservation.

North America Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market Trends:

Automation and Smart Irrigation Systems

Irrigation equipment, mixed with automation and smart irrigation systems, is one of the most important trends. As per the 2017 Census of Agriculture, farms with some form of irrigation produced over 54% of the overall U.S. crop sale value, but irrigated land constituted barely 20% of the harvested cropland. This emphasis on sophisticated farming methods and its linkage to water conservation and technology innovation have claimed the region. Increased water conservation and more yield pressures have pushed farmers to adopt technologies that are precise and efficient. Sophisticated irrigation methods utilize IoT devices, sensors, and data analytics for the optimization of water use; such a system can modify its irrigation schedule on its own according to current weather conditions and real-time data on soil moisture and crop requirements. This has shifted the focus toward precision farming as well. Precision irrigation focuses on supplying water where it is required, with every inch of land receiving the optimal dose required. Such extra fine targeting prevents wastage of water, which is a huge consideration in the water-scarce zones. For example, drip irrigation systems embedded with sensors can directly water the roots of the plants, reducing runoff and evaporation.

Use of Drones in Irrigation and Field Monitoring

An additional significant trend in the agricultural irrigation machinery market is the increasing use of drones for irrigation management and field surveillance. According to the IMARC Group, the U.S. market for drones was valued at USD 7.6 Billion in 2024, and it is anticipated to reach USD 19.3 Billion by 2033. Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, are changing how farmers analyze crop conditions, estimate soil moisture, and manage irrigation systems. Equipped with aerial platforms with high-definition cameras, multispectral sensors, and thermal sensing technology, drones can continuously monitor large swathes of agricultural fields in real-time. With this, farmers monitor crop health, detect irrigation-related problems, and identify areas which need more or less water. Drones provide a far more convenient means of conducting assessments across vast areas in large farming operations, compared to physically surveying each section of land. By flying over crops, drones collect data on indicators such as soil water content, crop stress, and temperature-all of which are fundamental to effective irrigation management. For example, thermal imaging can identify where in a field dry areas locate patches that may require more irrigation. This information allows farmers to fine-tune irrigation timing and methods and to attain maximum efficiency for water use with increased yields. The integration of drones with other precision irrigation technologies enhances their efficiency.

North America Agricultural Irrigation Machinery Market News:

• In November 2024, Orbia's precision agriculture business, Netafim, and Bayer extended their strategic alliance to include new digital farming tools for fruit and vegetable farmers. Besides this, Orbia Netafim-generated irrigation information can be accessed via HortiView's platform now. These targeted watering suggestions are generated for individual farmers depending on the critical details they input on HortiView, as opposed to using the one-size-fits-all principle. Such collaboration will also offer connectivity to GrowSphereTM, Orbia Netafim's integrated irrigation operating system for best-in-class irrigation, crop protection, and fertigation treatment, will be included as a part of collaboration.
