According to a research report published by Decisions Advisors, The Japan Drip Irrigation Market Size is Growing at a CAGR of 8.94% 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 in Japan is growing at a fast pace as there is a 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 fusion and pressure control is making the system perform better and more conveniently. The Japanese government has been actively promoting the adoption of drip irrigation systems to improve water efficiency in agriculture and mitigate the impact of water scarcity. Various policies and initiatives have been implemented to support the development of the drip irrigation market, including subsidies for farmers to invest in drip irrigation technology, research and development

Restraining Factors

The Japan drip irrigation faces several restraints, such as high equipment and installation costs, especially for small-scale farmers. Uncertainty is further diminished by unequal subsidization and a lack of government backing. Lastly, inappropriate maintenance can lead to blockage and damage to pipes, which can lower long-term benefits and increase operating expenses.

Market Segmentation

The Japan drip irrigation market share is classified into application, crop type, and emitter type.

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

The Japan drip irrigation market is segmented by application into surface and subsurface. Among these, the subsurface segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The reason for the large market share is that surface drip irrigation has become increasingly popular as it has relatively low installation and maintenance costs. Surface drip irrigation is commonly applied to perennial crops (vines and trees) and annual row crops.

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

The Japan drip irrigation market is segmented by crop type into fruits & nuts, field crops, vegetable crops, and 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 fertilisers 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 inline emitters segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The Japan drip irrigation market is segmented by emitter type into inline emitters, online emitters. Among these, the inline emitters segment held the largest share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to their ease of installation, uniform water distribution, and resistance to clogging. Inline emitters are integrated into the drip tubing during manufacturing, eliminating the need for separate installation and reducing labor costs. They also provide consistent water flow to the plants, which is crucial for optimal growth.
