The global employer and workplace drug testing market size was estimated at USD 6,105.1 million in 2024 and is projected to reach 9,089.9 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2025 to 2033. This market focuses on detecting the presence of illicit drugs and controlled substances in biological samples to support workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and productivity.
Testing methods such as urine, oral fluid, hair, and blood analysis are widely used across industries, including transportation, manufacturing, construction, and energy, to reduce workplace accidents and absenteeism. Employer and workplace drug testing plays a significant role in pre-employment screening, random testing, and post-incident investigations, helping organizations maintain a safe and compliant workforce. The demand is driven by stricter government regulations, corporate policies promoting drug-free environments, and the availability of advanced rapid testing kits and laboratory-based confirmation methods. Growing awareness of substance abuse impacts on workforce performance and safety is further encouraging adoption across both developed and emerging markets.
According to a national survey by American Addiction Centers, 15.3% of U.S. workers reported working under the influence of alcohol, while 2.9% admitted to being under the influence of illicit drugs in 2024. These figures underscore a significant challenge for U.S. employers, highlighting the need for strong workplace drug testing policies. Furthermore, there is a growing emphasis on workplace safety and productivity, prompting organizations to adopt measures that ensure a drug-free environment. Rising awareness of the adverse effects of substance misuse in the workplace, including reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, workplace accidents, and legal liabilities, further drives demand for drug testing services.
