According to a Research Report Published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the South Korea Drip Irrigation Systems Market Size is Anticipated to Grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by rising focus on water conservation and government subsidies for modern irrigation systems and expansion of greenhouse farming and adoption of precision agriculture further fuel demand for drip irrigation pipes.

Market Overview

The market of drip irrigation pipe in South Korea is growing at a fast pace as there is growing concern about water conservation, implementation of new agricultural practices, and rigorous government support for green agriculture. As there is limited cultivable land and there is a growing need for effective management of resources, farmers are switching to drip irrigation systems that ensure accurate delivery of water and improved yields. Drip irrigation pipes have extensive use in greenhouse farming, nurseries, and cash crops like fruits and vegetables. High-density polyethylene and PVC are the most used materials because they are capable of withstanding rough conditions, are flexible, and durable. The incorporation of technologies such as fertigation and pressure control is making the system perform better and more conveniently. Government subsidies and awareness generation are also making mid to large farmers adopt it. As South Korea broadens its smart agriculture front, drip irrigation pipes are likely to be the center of gravity in improving productivity and encouraging ecologically consonant cultivation.

Market Segmentation

The South Korea Drip Irrigation Systems Market share is classified into application, crop type, and component

• The surface segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea drip irrigation systems market is segmented by application into surface and subsurface. Among these, the surface segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The reason for large market share is surface drip irrigation systems have become increasingly popular as they have relatively low installation and maintenance costs. Surface drip irrigation is commonly applied to perennial crops (vines and trees) and annual row crops. Design of farm machinery and management of these crops are different from other row crops. Additionally, the Asia Pacific surface drip irrigation market led the surface segment and is anticipated to expand with the highest growth rate over the coming years.

• The field crops segment dominated the market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea drip irrigation systems market is segmented by crop type into fruits & nuts, field crops, and vegetable crops, others. Among these, the field crops segment dominated the market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The reason for its dominance is it has certain benefits such as the capacity to enhance profit percentages with lower fertilizers and water consumption. Subsequent to this, urbanization has also encouraged farmers to grow sugarcane and corn, which will aid segment growth for the forecasting period.

• The emitters/drippers segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The South Korea drip irrigation systems market is segmented by component into emitters/drippers, drip tubes/drip lines, pressure pumps, valves, filters, and fittings & accessories. Among these, the emitters/drippers segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. It holds large share because of advantages like no water clogging. In addition to this, more technological advancement in emitters by the industry players as a result of growing demand from residential and commercial industries is expected to drive the new trends.
