Water testing and analysis refer to processes used to assess the quality of water. These methods measure various properties of water, such as turbidity, dissolved gas content, radioactivity, and water conductivity. Water quality is crucial for numerous industries and activities, including agriculture, fisheries, electronics, food production, pharmaceuticals, aquaculture, and forestry.
Water testing and analysis markets include products such as TOC analyzers, pH meters, dissolved oxygen meters, conductivity sensors, turbidity meters, and others. A TOC analyzer converts organic carbon into CO2 using catalytic oxidation combustion at high temperatures. Testing methods encompass physicochemical analysis and bacteriological testing, including membrane filter, multiple tube dilution, visual comparison, spectrometric, titration, and other methods. These products are used across industries such as pharmaceuticals, power, semiconductors, food and beverage, mining, refineries, metals, chemicals, and environmental sectors.
The water testing and analysis market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides water testing and analysis market statistics, including water testing and analysis industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a water testing and analysis market share, detailed water testing and analysis market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the water testing and analysis industry. This water testing and analysis market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The water testing and analysis market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.91 billion in 2023 to $4.17 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to stringent water quality regulations, growing concerns about waterborne diseases, industrial pollution and effluent monitoring, expanding agricultural practices, and urbanization and infrastructure development.
The water testing and analysis market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by global population growth and the increasing challenge of water scarcity. There is also a growing awareness of emerging contaminants, leading to a focus on industrial water recycling. Climate change is impacting water resources, prompting governments to take initiatives for better water management. Major trends anticipated in this period include a heightened focus on emerging contaminants and micropollutants, the use of drones and remote sensing for water monitoring, increased collaboration between technology providers and water utilities, the implementation of real-time water quality reporting, and a growing emphasis on water recycling and reuse.
The increase in waterborne diseases has become a significant driver for the growth of the water testing and analysis market. Waterborne diseases are caused by pathogens such as protozoa, viruses, bacteria, and intestinal parasites contaminating drinking water. For example, a 2021 report from SCRIP (Scientific Research Publishing) indicated that globally, approximately 4 billion cases of waterborne diseases are reported annually, leading to at least 1.8 million deaths. Shockingly, 90% of these cases involve children under the age of five. Furthermore, these deaths account for around 4% of all global fatalities and 18% of deaths among children under five in developing countries. Waterborne diseases are estimated to contribute to 4.1% of the total daily global disease burden and cause 1.8 million deaths yearly, with most fatalities occurring in children under five in developing nations. Consequently, the rise in waterborne diseases is anticipated to propel the growth of the water testing and analysis market.
The increasing consumption of bottled water indeed contributes to the growth of the water testing and analysis market. Bottled water, which is packaged for commercial sale and consumption, undergoes rigorous testing and analysis to ensure its quality, safety, and compliance with regulatory standards. This testing is essential to provide consumers with a reliable and contaminant-free product. The data from the United Nations University-Institute for Water, Environment, and Health (UNU-INWEH) indicating substantial global bottled water sales underscores the significance of robust testing and analysis processes to meet the demands of this growing market. As the consumption of bottled water continues to rise, the need for comprehensive testing and analysis to maintain quality standards is expected to drive the growth of the water testing and analysis market.
The adoption of SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platforms is a recent and increasingly popular trend within the water testing and analysis market. Water testing companies are increasingly leveraging SaaS-based platforms to provide online services encompassing water quality management, EHS (Environmental Health and Safety) compliance, and carbon reporting. This delivery model allows software vendors to grant remote access to their software, functioning as a web-based service. Many companies are embracing SaaS solutions to enhance the operations of water testing and management firms. For example, in January 2023, Waters Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of analytical laboratory instruments, introduced a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application called waters connect System Monitoring. This application specifically targets high-volume quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) laboratories, demonstrating the integration of SaaS technology to streamline and improve operational efficiency in the water testing industry.
