Environmental Testing Equipment Global Market Report 2025

The environmental testing equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.23 billion in 2024 to $1.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory compliance, industrialization and urbanization, pollution control, occupational safety, environmental awareness.

The environmental testing equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emerging contaminants, infrastructure development, land use and land cover changes, climate change monitoring, public health preparedness. Major trends in the forecast period include iot integration, portable and field-deployable devices, data visualization and big data analytics, smart sensors and wearables, high-resolution remote sensing.

The forecast of 8.4% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through delays in pollution monitoring and compliance, as tariffs increase costs for precision air and water quality sensors imported from Germany and Japan. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The environmental testing equipment market is experiencing significant growth due to the escalating levels of environmental pollution globally. Factors such as rapid industrialization, urbanization, wildfires, transportation, construction, and deforestation have led to an increase in environmental pollution. Governments worldwide are investing in environmental testing equipment to monitor changes in air, water, and soil pollution continuously. This investment supports the implementation of innovative policies to address environmental challenges based on insights gained from testing activities. For example, Eurostat reported that the total general government expenditure on environmental protection in the European Union was approximately $125.84 billion (€119 billion), constituting 0.8% of the EU's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This underscores the growing need for environmental testing equipment to address the rising levels of environmental pollution.

The increasing industrial activities are expected to drive the growth of the environmental testing equipment market in the future. Industrial activities encompass the various processes and operations involved in the large-scale production, manufacturing, and processing of goods and services. Environmental testing equipment used in industrial activities ensures compliance with environmental regulations, helps reduce pollution, and fosters sustainable and responsible production practices, thereby protecting the environment and public health. For example, in October 2023, the Federal Reserve Board, a U.S.-based government agency, reported a 0.3% increase in industrial production in the U.S. in September, with an annual growth rate of 2.5% in the third quarter. Furthermore, manufacturing output also rose by 0.4% for the same month. Consequently, the rising industrial activities are fueling the growth of the environmental testing equipment market.

A key trend in the environmental testing equipment market is technological advancement. Leading companies in the market are focused on delivering technologically advanced solutions to meet the evolving demands of end-customers and enhance their global market position. In February 2023, Thermo Fisher Scientific, a prominent biotechnology company, introduced two new wet chemistry analyzers - Thermo Fisher Scientific's Aqua Master discrete analyzers and The Gallery Aqua Master discrete analyzers. These analyzers cater to various applications, including soil analysis, drinking water analysis, and wastewater and sewage water analysis. The integration of advanced technology in environmental testing equipment reflects the industry's commitment to providing accurate and efficient solutions for environmental monitoring and analysis.

Environmental testing equipment encompasses a range of products and devices designed to assess the durability and reliability of various components and products when exposed to different environmental conditions. These tools are instrumental in detecting and identifying contaminants that may impact the quality of air, water, and soil.

The primary types of environmental testing equipment include chromatography products, mass spectrometers, molecular spectroscopy instruments, total organic carbon (TOC) analyzers, dissolved oxygen analyzers, conductivity sensors, turbidity meters, and pH meters. Chromatography products, for instance, are electronic systems specifically created for the separation of components within a mixture based on the relative amounts of each solute in a moving liquid stream. These tools find applications in water, air, and soil testing across various sectors, including government agencies, municipal authorities, environmental testing laboratories, industrial facilities, as well as commercial and residential settings.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
