Global Water Testing and Analysis Market to Reach US$4.3 Billion by the Year 2026

Water testing is extensively used in diverse industries globally for ensuring compliance to regulatory guidelines and maintaining public safety. Growth in the global market is attributed to increasing water pollution and the pressing need to ensure quality water for human use and industrial applications. Expanding global population and the subsequent focus on industrialization coupled with the growing demand from agricultural sector are expected to fuel growth in the market. Governments funding towards water pollution monitoring and control is expected to provide a significant push to the market. Global demand for these systems is also fueled by the need for clean water for personal hygiene and food preparation. Moreover, applications such as medical surgeries, renal dialysis, pharmaceutical operations and contact lenses require high-quality water. The rapid pace of urbanization in emerging countries is also driving the need for water treatment management solutions. Another factor driving demand is the replacement of aging water infrastructure in developed markets including North America and Europe. The growing need for high quality water in industries such as pharmaceutical and semiconductor coupled with emphasis on water reuse and recycling through programs such as zero liquid discharge is driving penetration of advanced technologies.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the global market for Water Testing and Analysis estimated at US$3.2 Billion in the year 2020, is projected to reach a revised size of US$4.3 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% over the analysis period. TOC Analyzers, one of the segments analyzed in the report, is projected to grow at a 6.3% CAGR to reach US$1.3 Billion by the end of the analysis period. After a thorough analysis of the business implications of the pandemic and its induced economic crisis, growth in the Turbidity Meters segment is readjusted to a revised 4.9% CAGR for the next 7-year period. This segment currently accounts for a 11.4% share of the global Water Testing and Analysis market. Government regulations require industries to examine and treat wastewater before it is discharged into water bodies so as to minimize water pollution. As a result, the demand is increasing for water testing instruments such as TOC analyzers, which help determine the pollution levels by testing the dissolved oxygen present in water bodies. Industrial applications pay high attention to parameters such as basicity, turbidity and alkalinity, which needs the use of sophisticated sensors. These requirements are pushing private players to invest in advanced water quality testing.
