Environmental Measuring Instrument Global Market Report 2025

The environmental measuring instrument market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.27 billion in 2024 to $12.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing environmental regulations, growing awareness of pollution, rising industrialization, higher demand for real-time monitoring, and greater adoption of sustainable practices.

The environmental measuring instrument market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be linked to the rising need for advanced sensor technologies, increasing government investments, growing focus on climate change mitigation, higher demand for portable testing devices, and expanding industrial development. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in IoT integration, innovation in miniaturized sensors, development of automated testing systems, incorporation of AI for predictive analysis, and improvements in real-time data analytics.

The increasing concerns about pollution are expected to drive the growth of the environmental measuring instrument market in the future. Pollution refers to the introduction of harmful substances or contaminants into the environment, causing negative effects on human health, ecosystems, and overall environmental quality. The growing concern over pollution is primarily driven by urbanization and industrial activities, which elevate air pollution levels. Environmental measuring instruments help address these concerns by providing accurate, real-time data on pollutant levels, enabling authorities and organizations to effectively monitor environmental conditions and take timely actions to reduce pollution and safeguard public health. For example, in August 2024, the American Lung Association, a US-based non-profit organization focused on improving lung health, reported that 125.2 million Americans, or 37% of the population, experienced unhealthy ozone pollution levels between 2021 and 2023. This represented an increase of 24.6 million people compared to the previous year. As such, rising pollution concerns are fueling the growth of the environmental measuring instrument market.

Key players in the environmental measuring instrument market are focusing on the development of advanced products such as the fifth-generation Aqualog system to support reliable water research and environmental monitoring. The Aqualog system is a cutting-edge device that simultaneously measures light absorption and fluorescence, delivering precise and reliable results for water research while minimizing errors. For instance, in August 2025, Horiba, a Japan-based company specializing in analytical and measurement technology, introduced the Aqualog-Next A-TEEM Spectrometer. This fifth-generation instrument enables rapid, high-resolution molecular fingerprinting to address critical environmental issues such as climate change, harmful algal blooms, and drinking water safety. The system works with EzSpec software to facilitate data collection, processing, and reporting, and it also offers NIST traceability, corrects for inner-filter effects, supports 3D-to-2D profiling, and enables multivariate analysis, making it highly versatile for a range of water research and environmental monitoring applications.

In October 2023, Particle Measuring Systems, Inc., a US-based provider of contamination monitoring and control solutions for clean manufacturers, acquired Environmental Monitoring Services IRL Limited and EMS Particle Solutions Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allowed Particle Measuring Systems to shift from an indirect sales approach to a direct sales and service model in the UK and Ireland, strengthening its local market presence and enabling the company to offer advanced contamination monitoring solutions directly. Environmental Monitoring Services IRL Limited and EMS Particle Solutions Ltd., both based in Ireland, specialize in environmental measuring instruments.

Major players in the environmental measuring instrument market are Siemens AG, General Electric Company, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Honeywell International Inc., 3M Company, Merck KGaA, Emerson Electric Co., PerkinElmer Inc., HORIBA Ltd., Fluke Corporation, Testo SE & Co. KGaA, Vaisala Oyj, TSI Incorporated, Antylia Scientific Company, Kanomax USA Inc., LaMotte Company, Met One Instruments Inc., PCE Instruments, E Instruments Group LLC, Aeroqual Ltd., GrayWolf Sensing Solutions LLC.

North America was the largest region in the environmental measuring instrument market in 2024. The regions covered in environmental measuring instrument report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.

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 swift increase in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the machinery sector by increasing costs for steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings critical components often imported from tariff-affected regions. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery now face squeezed margins, as many long-term contracts prevent immediate price adjustments. The uncertainty has also delayed investment in automation and smart machinery technologies, slowing productivity gains. To adapt, firms are accelerating local supplier development, redesigning products to use alternative materials, and leveraging predictive maintenance to extend equipment lifespans amid higher replacement costs.

An environmental measuring instrument is a device or system designed to quantitatively assess various environmental factors such as air, water, soil, or noise. Its main purpose is to monitor environmental quality and detect harmful substances, supporting environmental protection, health risk evaluation, and compliance with regulatory standards by providing accurate measurements and reliable data for analysis.

The primary categories of environmental measuring instruments include single-parameter and multiparameter instruments. Single-parameter environmental measuring instruments are designed to measure a specific environmental factor, such as temperature, humidity, or air quality. These instruments are applied in a range of settings, including indoor and outdoor monitoring, and are used by multiple end-users, including government and regulatory agencies, environmental testing laboratories, industrial facilities, utilities, commercial and residential establishments, research and academic institutions, agriculture and forestry, and construction and infrastructure projects.
