The water quality testing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.6 billion in 2024 to $4.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory compliance, industrialization impact, public health concerns, environmental awareness.
The water quality testing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.41 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global water crisis, urbanization and infrastructure development, industrial compliance, climate change impact. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, decentralized testing solutions, data analytics and ai integration, remote monitoring and cloud-based solutions, multi-parameter testing.
The anticipated surge in the water quality testing equipment market is driven by the escalating instances of water contamination. Water contamination involves the introduction of pollutants into groundwater or bodies of water, obstructing natural ecosystems' functioning or rendering water unfit for various uses. Water quality testing equipment is instrumental in identifying contaminants and assessing different facets of water quality. This equipment aids in detecting the presence and concentrations of various compounds and contaminants in water sources. Notably, in July 2023, the UK's Environment Agency reported an increase in instances involving sewage and water supply infrastructure, totaling 2,026 cases compared to 1,883 in 2021. The majority of these incidents impacted the water distribution system, emphasizing the rising concern over water contamination and propelling the growth of the water quality testing equipment market.
Rapid urbanization is anticipated to propel the growth of the water quality testing equipment market. Urbanization involves the concentration of populations in cities and the transformation of rural regions into urban centers. This process typically leads to population growth and increased economic activities, resulting in higher volumes of wastewater generation. Water quality testing equipment is crucial for monitoring and ensuring that wastewater is properly treated before being released into water bodies, thus preventing contamination. For example, in July 2023, UN-Habitat, a United Nations agency based in Kenya, reported that over half (55%) of the global population lives in urban areas, a figure expected to rise to 70% by 2050. Additionally, the World Bank, a US-based international financial institution, noted in April 2023 that more than 50% of the global population currently resides in urban areas. The rapid expansion of urbanization is projected to create significant demand for the water quality testing equipment market.
A prominent trend in the water quality testing equipment market is the adoption of technological advancements. Key industry players are actively embracing new technologies to maintain their competitive positions. In June 2023, In-Situ Inc., a US-based developer and producer of water treatment equipment, introduced the Aqua TROLL 700 and 800 Multiparameter Sondes. These instruments represent advanced multiparameter water quality instruments designed for continuous long-term monitoring of water. With features such as six Aqua TROLL sensors and an automated antifouling wiper, these instruments excel in various water environments, including freshwater, brackish, and saltwater. Their antifouling technology is particularly beneficial in marine applications where biofouling is a prevalent concern.
Major companies in the water quality testing equipment market are concentrating on product innovations, such as water quality test devices, to sustain their market positions. A water quality test device is an instrument utilized to measure the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water. In March 2023, NSF, a renowned US-based public health and safety organization, introduced the NSF P524 initiative, marking the first-ever protocol for water quality test devices used in drinking water. This groundbreaking protocol establishes a standardized third-party validation process, departing from the previous practice where manufacturers independently validated their devices. The protocol rigorously assesses accuracy and precision, comparing device measurements against established laboratory reference methods.
In April 2023, HORIBA Advanced Techno Co. Ltd., a Japan-based provider of services and products in liquid measurement, acquired Tethys Instruments SAS, a France-based manufacturer of water quality measurement technologies. This strategic acquisition enhances HORIBA Advanced Techno Co. Ltd.'s market-ready solutions and research and development capabilities in analytical systems for monitoring water quality. Additionally, it synergizes with Tethys' expertise in UV spectroscopy, complementing HORIBA's core strengths in electrochemistry and sampling.
