The key factors driving the growth of this market are increasing government regulations related to environment protection, growing need of cost saving and time-effective customized testing services, active participation of government and regulatory bodies to monitor environmental conditions, occurrence of natural calamities, and rising awareness about environmental pollution. Moreover, customized environmental testing solutions and introduction of innovative rapid technologies offer significant growth opportunities for environmental testing market players. However, high capital investment and lack of infrastructure are expected to hinder the growth of this market to some extent. On the other hand, lack of basic supporting infrastructure is the key challenge of this market. In addition, rise in academic collaborations is the major trend observed in the environmental testing market.
Analysis of Environmental Testing Market Segments
The global environmental testing market is segmented by product (mass spectrometers, chromatography products, molecular spectroscopy products, toc analyzers, pH meters, dissolved oxygen analyzers, conductivity sensors, turbidity meters), by sample (wastewater/effluent, soil, water, air), technology (conventional, rapid), contaminant (microbial contamination, organic compounds, heavy metals, residues, solids), end users (agriculture and irrigation sector, government institutes and R&D laboratories, industrial product manufacturers, forestry and geology, others), and geography.
Based on products, the mass spectrometry segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Based on sample, wastewater/effluent segment commanded the largest share of the environmental testing market in 2018, owing to the increasing wastewater with the growth in industrial activities, growing environmental concern related to waste disposal and treatment, and regulations on wastewater disposal. However, water testing segment is expected to witness the rapid growth during the forecast period. The rapid growth of this segment is primarily attributed to the rapid urbanization, increase in health standards, demand for clean water, and shortage in water supply.
By contaminant, the environmental testing market is segmented into microbial contamination, organic compounds, heavy metals, residues, and solids. Organic compounds segment accounted for the largest share in 2018 and it is also the fastest growing segment by 2025. This is due to its high level of emissions and sustained growth in consumption, mainly of hydrocarbons.
Based on end-users, the environmental testing market is segmented into agriculture and irrigation sector, government institutes and R&D laboratories, industrial product manufacturers, forestry and geology, and others. Agriculture and irrigation sector accounted for the largest share of global market in 2018, mainly due to increasing demand to improve the efficiency of the resources in this sector. Also, growing demand for precision agriculture compels the growth of environmental testing market for agriculture and irrigation sector.

Environmental Testing Market Future Outlook
Nowadays, the global freshwater availability is shrinking not only in quantitative terms, but also in qualitative terms because many freshwater systems have become increasingly polluted with a wide variety of human, agricultural, and industrial waste. Water shortage and pollution are causing widespread public health problem, limiting economical and agricultural development, and harming a wide range of ecosystem. Therefore, environmental testing is important to determine hazards within our environment that can be harmful to people. Moreover, rising urbanization and environmental pollution, high industrial growth in developing nations, and growing awareness of health is driving the interest of companies towards the environmental testing.
