Growing Regulatory Policies and Requirements
The rising strict government regulations regarding environmental protection and pollution control mandate the monitoring of water, soil, air, and other environmental elements. These regulations ensure industries comply with environmental standards, thereby preventing and minimizing pollution. For instance, the World Bank program is introducing tools for airshed management and planning to support state and regional air quality management approaches. These efforts aim to facilitate the creation of India's inaugural State-wide Air Quality Action Plans and the first extensive Regional Airship Action Plan for the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), covering seven union territories and states. A study by the World Bank and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) shows that focusing on air pollution through a clean air pathway out to 2030 could bring about significant climate change co-benefits for India. Such a pathway, for example, will reduce India's CO2 emissions by 23% by 2030 and 42% by 2040-50. This is further influencing the environmental monitoring market statistics significantly.
Significant Advances in Technology
The increasing innovations in technology, such as the development of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and remote sensing technologies are significantly enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of environmental monitoring.

For instance, in October 2022, Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the release of its enhanced 8700 LDIR Chemical Imaging System, which has been further optimized for the analysis of microplastics in environmental samples. The newly improved package includes Clarity 1.5 software, a significant upgrade that advances the speed of analysis, enhances spectral acquisition, transformation, and library matching, and provides automated workflows for direct analysis of microplastics on a filter substrate. An innovative, redesigned sample holder allows the on-filter sample to be presented to the instrument more easily and consistently. This is expected to fuel the environmental monitoring market revenue.
Rising Environmental Concerns and Public Awareness
The increasing public awareness about environmental issues including climate change, water and air quality, and biodiversity loss is driving the demand for environmental monitoring. This awareness influences government policies and corporate practices which is leading to greater investment in environmental monitoring infrastructure and technologies. For instance, in November 2022, 3M and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) agreed on plans to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Cordova region. Through the agreement, 3M will build on its work address past PFAS manufacturing in the area and install new and innovative technologies at its Cordova site that will enhance the quality of water used in its operations.
