Global Environmental Testing Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Environmental Testing Market is estimated to reach USD 56.07 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 8.05%.
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Environmental Testing Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The global market for environmental testing was valued at USD 25.85 billion in 2024 and was expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.05% between 2025 and 2034. The rising public concern regarding environmental degradation, driven by increased industrial activity and pollution across global economies, is expected to propel the growth of this industry.
By Sample Insights
The wastewater/effluent sample sector generated the highest worldwide revenue share in 2024. To safeguard the environment and public health, wastewater must undergo routine analytical testing. Regulatory bodies require testing at various stages of wastewater treatment, such as sewage effluents. The soil sample segment involves testing polluted sites and is essential for understanding soil fertility and plant nutrient needs. The water sample segment also generated significant revenue in 2024, as regular water testing is crucial for tracking water quality over time, and the demand for clean water is expected to increase environmental testing services. Additionally, the air sample segment contributed notably to revenue, driven by the demand for services monitoring air quality and addressing pollution issues.
By Technology Insights
The rapid technology segment made the largest contribution to global revenue in 2024, as rapid testing methods lower labor intensity and costs per test. These methods improve efficiency, accuracy, and automation, leading to significant savings. There is an expected increase in demand for mass spectroscopy in environmental testing due to heightened awareness of chemical substances and the adoption of the Stockholm Convention aimed at reducing persistent organic pollutants. Conventional testing methods, such as the culture plate method and biological oxygen demand, are slower and more costly than rapid testing.
By Target-tested Insights
The chemical target-tested segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2024, reflecting industry's needs for chemical analysis amidst rising global concern about chemical pollution in water, air, and soil. The biological target-tested segment also saw substantial revenue, as biological testing evaluates the toxicity of substances on living organisms, and demand for such tests is expected to rise. The temperature target-tested segment grew steadily, driven by the need for temperature assessments in various environmental contexts. The particulate matter target-tested segment grew due to increased awareness of air pollution's health effects.
By End-User Insights
In 2024, the government end-user segment had the largest revenue share, with government departments conducting environmental testing to monitor pollution. The industrial end-user segment also generated significant revenue, particularly due to compliance with manufacturing regulations in sectors like pharmaceuticals and healthcare. The environmental testing laboratories segment experienced considerable growth, as urbanization and industrialization raised the demand for clean water. Finally, the energy & utilities sector is projected for rapid future growth, as environmental testing is critical for feasibility studies and projects in oil, gas, and power generation.
Regional Insights
The global environmental testing market is expected to grow significantly in the Asia Pacific area between 2025 and 2034 because to the region's fast population growth, increased urbanisation, and industrialisation in both developed and emerging countries, such as China, Japan, and India. This growth is contributing to rising levels of air pollution, water contamination, and soil degradation. Consequently, as industries in this region expand, the demand for environmental testing has surged to assess pollution levels and ensure adherence to regulatory standards.
Market Competitive Landscape
In 2024, SGS SA, Eurofins Scientific, and Element Materials Technology together commanded a considerable share of the environmental testing market. SGS is strategically enhancing its global footprint in environmental testing through acquisitions and investments in cutting-edge testing technologies. The company is improving its services in air, water, and soil testing, with a strong focus on sustainability and compliance with environmental regulations. Furthermore, SGS is emphasizing digital transformation to refine its testing processes, thereby enhancing data accuracy and minimizing turnaround times.
Recent Developments:
In January 2025, SGS entered into an agreement to acquire RTI Laboratories, a prominent environmental and materials testing provider based in Detroit, Michigan. This acquisition expands SGS's position in North America by adding 30 qualified people and increasing its PFAS and Department of Defense-certified testing capabilities. It improves material testing services, which include metallurgical testing, alloy chemistry, and failure analysis, while also offering local support in Michigan through pickup and courier services.
In September 2024, Montrose Environmental Group purchased Origins Laboratory, a leading environmental testing laboratory located in Denver, Colorado. This strategic acquisition is intended to improve Montrose's operations within the Rocky Mountain area and bolster its measurement and analysis division. In summary, this acquisition not only broadens Montrose Environmental Group's operational capabilities but also improves its capacity to address the increasing demand for thorough environmental testing solutions in a swiftly changing regulatory environment.
