Water Testing & Analysis Market Trends:

Increase in Water Pollution Level

The rising global water pollution from chemical waste, urbanization, and agricultural drainage is propelling the water testing and analysis business forward, as industries such as manufacturing and agriculture contribute to hazardous pollutant contamination. In March 2024, the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) awarded projects led by Southampton researchers to design, build, and test devices that can radically improve the ability to measure water pollutants.

Widespread Awareness Regarding Water-Borne Diseases

Growing awareness about illnesses transmitted through water, such as cholera and typhoid, has led to an increase in global demand for water testing, which is backed by governments, non-governmental organizations, and healthcare groups advocating for clean and safe water. In July 2024, the Health Department across Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, launched a month-long Communicable Disease Control Campaign (CDCC). This initiative aims to tackle the spread of water-borne diseases and other seasonal health concerns, thereby contributing to the water testing & analysis market statistics.

Continuous Technological Advancements

The rapid advancements in modern water testing and analysis techniques, such as molecular approaches, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and sophisticated spectroscopy, have substantially increased the speed, accuracy, and range of contaminants that may be identified. In May 2024, Siemens, a leading technology company, expanded its software portfolio for the water industry by launching the new SIWA Leak Finder app, aimed at reducing water losses from pipe leaks by up to 50%.
