Micro Irrigation Systems Market
Expected to grow significantly to
2020
According to a new market report
"Micro Irrigation Systems Market -
Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share,
Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 -
2020," the market is expected to get
almost 3 times bigger by 2020. North
America was the largest contributor to
the global micro irrigation systems
market in 2013 and is expected to
keep dominate the market. The high
acceptance of micro irrigation systems
in irrigating different crop types is the
most significant factor for this growth.
However, with rising water scarcity,
Asia Pacific is expected to be the
fastest growing market for micro
irrigation systems.
