Drip irrigation refers to a type of micro irrigation system that allows water and nutrients to drip slowly into the roots of plants from above or below the soil surface. The use of drip irrigation helps minimize water loss due to evaporation by distributing water through a network of valves, pipes, tubing, and emitters. Drip irrigation methods are known to offer a significant advantage in efficiency against other conventional irrigation methods, including sprinkler and flooding. Drip irrigation is essential in applying small amounts of water and fertilizers uniformly across a specific area, thereby preventing drift and runoff. Surface drip irrigation systems utilize close emitter spacing and a thin wall dripline, which is inserted below the surface. Subsurface systems use larger emitter intervals and comprise a thicker wall.

Emitters are among the most crucial components of a drip irrigation system. They discharge water flowing through the lateral over the crop root area. The role of emitters is to release water at a predetermined rate and help prevent clogging. They are made of polyethylene or polypropylene. Emitters can be classified on the basis of structure, discharge type (regulated/non-regulated), and durability. They can be placed on a lateral, or inside a lateral, which are respectively known as online and inline emitters. Inline emitters are usually present within the laterals with equal spacing. Inline emitters may be flat boat-shaped, cylindrical, or may be attached to the inner wall of the lateral. They are usually used for row crops or field crops such as onion, chili, potato, turmeric, vegetables, sugarcane, and cotton. They are prepared from superior-quality linear low-density polyethylene material. They help provide maximum resistance against clogging. Inline emitters are suitable for surface irrigation and subsurface irrigation. Thus, the inline emitter is projected to have the fastest growth rate among the types of drip irrigation emitter types used by farmers and growers.

The Asia Pacific drip irrigation market is estimated to be the largest between 2019 and 2025 and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR. Asia Pacific was the largest consumer of drip irrigation in 2019. The region is marking a dramatic shift from the installation of basic irrigation facilities to the adoption of precision irrigation systems through technological upgrading. The focus of agriculture has shifted from traditional crops to more commercial crops. Due to these changes, irrigation facilities are expected to modernize their irrigation management and preferably their infrastructure. Drip irrigation has become an essential aspect as commercial crops are sensitive to the amount of water required and the time taken for its delivery.
