Dublin, March 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Environmental Testing Market by Sample (Wastewater/Effluent, Soil & Sediments, Water, Air), Technology, Tested Material (Microbial Contamination, Organic Compounds, Inorganic Compounds, Residues, Solids), End User, and Region – Global Forecast to 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The environmental testing market is estimated at USD 7.43 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 9.32 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.6 % from 2025 to 2030. Increasing industrialization, urbanization, and waste production have led to rising levels of pollution in air, water, and land, resulting in environmental degradation. This creates a high need of testing services to mitigate the risk of contamination.
With the growth of industries, the emission of toxic pollutants into the environment like chemical waste, particulate matter, greenhouse gases, and heavy metals has become more common. Further urbanization also results in increased traffic emissions, construction-related pollutants, and greater waste generation, which further pollute the environment. Also, the lack of proper waste disposal, especially in landfills and water bodies, leads to the pollution of groundwater, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
The rapid testing segment dominated the technology segment of the environmental testing market
The rapid testing technology segment dominated the environmental testing market as it can meet the growing demand for faster, more accurate, and cost-effective testing solutions. This growth is attributed to its capability to provide fast, precise, and economical solutions for real-time monitoring of environmental parameters. For instance, handheld water testing kits have proved extremely useful in disaster relief operations, such as in Hurricane Katrina and the Haitian earthquake, when handheld water testing kits enabled quick identification of harmful pathogens in water. In urban areas such as California, IoT-enabled air quality sensors are giving real-time information about pollution levels, enabling authorities to take immediate measures to enhance air quality.
The wastewater/effluent segment dominated the sample segment of the environmental testing market
The wastewater/effluent segment is projected to dominate the environmental testing market, as the population worldwide has increased awareness about water quality, pollution control, and regulatory issues. The production of wastewater and effluent has risen, making it one of the largest areas for monitoring and testing due to an increase in industrialization in various economies. This aspect is specifically fueled by the necessity to track the quality of treated and untreated wastewater that is discharged into water bodies so that it meets strict regulations on pollutants like heavy metals, chemical toxins, microorganisms, and nutrients like phosphates and nitrogen.
During the forecast period, Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness a significant CAGR in the environmental testing market
Both rapid population growth, and rapid urbanization, would result in Asia Pacific (APAC) recording the most significant growth rates in the market for environmental testing. The region comprises booming economies like China, India, and Southeast Asia, where industrial development and urbanization are on the rise. This wave of industrialization creates immense pollution in air, water, and land, demanding more frequent testing of the environment to monitor and control the impurities. This creates a strong demand for environmental testing services and equipment to assess contamination levels and ensure adherence to environmental standards. Moreover, the region is also plagued by some serious issues like air pollution, water shortages, and waste disposal problems, and this increases demand for efficient test solutions to save public health as well as the environment.
