Middle East and Africa (MEA) Drip Irrigation Systems Market size is valued at USD 358.29 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 679.98 million by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period 2022-2028. Drip irrigation is also called as trickle irrigation and involves the dripping of water at very low rates onto the soil usually, 2-20 liters per hours 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 drip irrigation,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 the row crops (soft fruit and vegetable), 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.
