The environmental testing market is estimated at USD 7.43 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 9.32 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2030. The global environmental testing market is growing substantially. The market for environmental testing is expanding because of strict environmental laws, increased levels of pollution, and a heightened sense of sustainability. Governments and regulatory agencies such as the EPA (U.S.), EEA (Europe), and MEE (China) are implementing stringent pollution control regulations, mandating industries to carry out frequent environmental testing for regulatory compliance. Furthermore, fast industrialization, urbanization, and concerns about climate change have increased the demand for air, water, and soil testing to measure levels of pollution.
Environmental Testing Market Trends
The environmental testing market is evolving rapidly due to increasing concerns over pollution, climate change, and regulatory compliance. Here are some of the latest trends shaping the industry:
1. Growing Demand for Rapid Testing Technologies
- Adoption of biosensors, immunoassays, and PCR-based techniques for faster and more accurate environmental testing.
- AI and IoT-powered sensors for real-time monitoring of air, water, and soil contaminants.
2. Stricter Environmental Regulations & Compliance
- Governments worldwide are enforcing stricter water and air quality standards (e.g., EU Green Deal, US EPA regulations).
- Industries must comply with new emission control and waste disposal laws, driving the demand for frequent testing.
3. Expansion of Water & Wastewater Testing
- Rising concerns over microplastics, PFAS (“forever chemicals”), and pharmaceutical residues in water.
- Increased focus on municipal wastewater testing to track environmental contamination and public health risks.
4. Adoption of AI & Automation
- Machine learning algorithms improve sample analysis and contamination prediction.
- Robotic and automated sample collection reduces human error and increases efficiency.
5. Rise in PFAS Testing & Remediation Efforts
- PFAS contamination in soil and water has led to new testing and mitigation technologies.
- Regulatory agencies worldwide are setting new limits on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
6. Growth in Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing
- Post-pandemic, there’s a higher focus on indoor air quality testing for VOCs, mold, and particulate matter.
- Use of low-cost air quality sensors for homes, offices, and industrial settings.
7. Surge in Demand for Sustainable Testing Solutions
- Shift toward green analytical methods using eco-friendly solvents and reagents.
- Increasing preference for portable and on-site testing devices to reduce waste and carbon footprint.

The organic compound segment dominated the environmental testing market during the study period.
The organic compound segment is estimated to dominate the environmental testing market. The organic compounds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pesticides, hydrocarbons, and industrial solvents are among the key sources of environmental pollution. Their airborne, aquatic, and terrestrial existence is a gravely serious human health and ecological hazard, necessitating stringent controls by regulatory organizations such as the EPA, EEA, and WHO. Moreover, the increased application of pesticides in agriculture, petrochemicals in oil & gas, and solvents in manufacturing has increased contamination concerns, propelling the need for specialized testing techniques. This is creating a need of environmental testing services.
The rapid technology segment within the technology has a larger share and is growing at a higher CAGR in the environmental testing market during the forecast period.
The segment of rapid testing will lead the technology segment of the environmental testing market as more demand rises for cost-efficient, real-time, and highly efficient solutions for testing. Laboratory-based test methods are usually time-consuming and costly, hence the requirement for quick and portable alternatives. Rapid testing technologies like biosensors, immunoassays, spectroscopy, and mobile analytical instruments facilitate in-place testing with fast and accurate results, lowering turnaround time considerably. Stringent environmental regulations by bodies such as the EPA, EEA, and WHO necessitate regular and extensive monitoring of air, water, and soil pollutants. Oil & gas, manufacturing, agriculture, and wastewater treatment industries are all aided by quick testing to ensure compliance with changing environmental standards without any delay. The growing threat of chemical spills, industrial emissions, and water pollution has also fueled the need for real-time monitoring solutions.

North America holds a significant market share in the environmental testing market.
North America holds a significant market share in the environmental testing market. This growth is attributed to stringent environmental regulations, advanced technology, and a robust industrial base. Organizations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have stringent environmental regulations that necessitate industries to frequently test air, water, and soil for pollutants. These regulations cause demand for environmental testing in these primary industries: manufacturing, oil & gas, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and waste management.
The region also has some of the largest names in environmental testing, such as SGS North America, Eurofins Scientific, Intertek, and Mérieux NutriSciences Corporation.

Recent Developments of Environmental Testing Industry
In January 2025, SGS signed an agreement to acquire RTI Laboratories, a leading environmental and materials testing provider in Detroit, Michigan. This acquisition expands SGS’s North American footprint, adding 30 skilled employees and strengthening its PFAS and Department of Defense-certified testing capabilities. It enhances material testing services, including metallurgical testing, alloy chemistry, and failure analysis, while providing local support in Michigan with pickup and courier services.
In January 2025, Eurofins Environment Testing Eaton Analytical developed a groundbreaking method to detect chlorotriazine anion, a newly identified Disinfection By-Product (DBP) in drinking water. This advancement follows a scientific study that revealed chloronitramide anion as a decomposition product of chloramine disinfection. Chloramination, used by about one-third of US water utilities, helps reduce regulated DBPs like total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5). This innovation strengthens Eurofins’ leadership in water quality analysis and enhances understanding of DBPs in drinking water.
