Water quality testing equipment refers to specialized devices used to measure various physical, chemical and biological parameters in water to assess its quality and suitability for specific purposes. These tools are essential for monitoring and ensuring water safety in various applications, including drinking water supply, wastewater management, industrial processes and environmental conservation. It detects contaminants, impurities and other characteristics, which prevents health hazards, optimize industrial processes and comply with regulatory standards.
The water quality testing equipment market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders or partnerships), of various instruments designed to assess the chemical and biological quality of water. These instruments measure critical parameters such as potential of hydrogen (pH), turbidity, dissolved oxygen and total dissolved solids (TDS), enabling the identification of contaminants and ensuring compliance with health standards.
The global water quality testing equipment market was valued at $3,802.16 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 3.00%.
Increasing Instances Of Water Contamination
Increasing instances of water contamination contributed to the growth of the water quality testing equipment market in the historic period. The growing frequency of water contamination has heightened awareness of associated health risks, including waterborne diseases. This increased awareness has driven demand for water quality testing equipment, which is essential for monitoring harmful contaminants such as bacteria, heavy metals, and chemicals. For example, in September 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization working to promote health, in 2021, over 2 billion people lived in water-stressed countries, with climate change and population growth expected to worsen conditions in some regions. By 2022, at least 1.7 billion people globally relied on drinking water sources contaminated with feces, posing significant health risks. However, 73% of the global population, or 6 billion people, accessed safely managed drinking-water services, characterized by on-premises availability, consistent supply, and freedom from contamination. Therefore, increasing instances of water contamination drove the growth of the water quality testing equipment market.
Innovative Solutions to Improve Chlorine Detection in Wastewater Applications
Major companies operating in the water quality testing equipment market are focusing on developing innovative analyzer solutions to improve chlorine detection in wastewater applications. The analyzers employ advanced sensors and transmitters to accurately measure chlorine concentration in water, enhancing the efficiency of chlorine dosing. Maintaining optimal chlorine levels is critical, as under-dosing can result in inadequate disinfection while over-dosing may lead to waste and environmental harm. By providing reliable measurements, these analyzers optimize dosing processes, ensuring the effective and efficient use of chlorine. For instance, in December 2024, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based automation company, introduced the ChloroStar family of analyzers, specifically designed for accurate chlorine measurement in water treatment applications. These state-of-the-art analyzers incorporate advanced self-cleaning technology, reducing maintenance requirements by up to 20%, making them especially well-suited for environments prone to fouling, such as municipal and industrial wastewater facilities. The ChloroStar family is engineered to optimize the efficiency and reliability of chlorine dosing processes, helping organizations maintain compliance with stringent regulations related to water quality and pathogen removal.
The global water quality testing equipment market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 20.09% of the total market in 2024.
