The microbiological testing of water market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.68 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The anticipated expansion during the forecast period is ascribed to the market's heightened focus on point-of-use testing, initiatives to enhance water security, the incorporation of blockchain technology for transparency, an upsurge in consumer awareness and concern, and a growing demand for real-time monitoring solutions. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass a heightened emphasis on wastewater testing, an increased demand for environmentally friendly testing solutions, a surge in citizen science initiatives, the adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS), and the widespread integration of blockchain technology to enhance transparency.

The microbiological testing of water market is anticipated to experience growth, primarily driven by an increase in waterborne diseases. These diseases, caused by microscopic organisms present in contaminated water or transmitted through contact with feces, necessitate more frequent microbiological testing of water sources to ensure its suitability for human consumption. This heightened need is underscored by the rise in waterborne diseases, as exemplified in the Waterborne Disease Risk Assessment Program 2021 Annual Report by the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene Bureau of Communicable Disease and New York City Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Water Supply. The report indicates a notable increase in cases of Giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis in 2021 compared to the previous year, emphasizing the urgency of robust microbiological testing protocols to safeguard water quality.

The growth of the microbiological testing of water market is expected to be bolstered by an expanding global population. As the total number of individuals in a specific geographic area increases, so does the demand for water for various purposes such as drinking, sanitation, agriculture, and industrial activities. This surge in demand exerts pressure on existing water resources, necessitating regular microbiological testing to ensure the safety and quality of the water supply. Projections from authoritative sources, including the United Nations and the Congressional Budget Office, indicate a substantial growth in global and U.S. populations, reinforcing the expectation that the microbiological testing of water market will witness significant expansion in response to the growing demographic pressures on water resources.

The microbiological testing of water market is witnessing a prominent trend driven by technological advancements, with major companies strategically adopting new technologies to maintain their market positions.
