The rising levels of pollution are expected to drive the growth of the environmental testing services market in the coming years. Pollution is increasing due to factors such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, deforestation, improper waste disposal, and the growing use of chemicals in agriculture and manufacturing. Environmental testing services play a crucial role in managing these issues by monitoring and evaluating the concentration of harmful pollutants in air, water, and soil. This helps identify pollution sources, assess environmental impacts, and guide regulatory actions for pollution control. For example, in June 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK government agency, reported that UK greenhouse gas emissions per resident increased by 1.2% between 2021 and 2022, signaling a slight rise in the country’s environmental impact. As a result, the rising pollution levels are contributing to the expansion of the environmental testing services market.

Companies in the environmental testing services market are advancing synthetic chemical testing to identify and analyze harmful pollutants in air, water, and soil. These services are designed to detect toxic substances, ensure compliance with environmental regulations, and protect public health. For example, in October 2024, SGS S.A., a Switzerland-based testing, inspection, and certification company, launched a comprehensive suite of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing services. This initiative aims to address the growing concerns about these persistent environmental contaminants in various sectors, such as food and consumer products. The services help organizations comply with regulations and improve safety by reducing PFAS contamination, which has been linked to serious health risks such as cancer and thyroid problems.
