The global agricultural testing market size was valued at USD 6.11 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 8.91 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.07% during 2025-2033. North America currently dominates the market, holding a significant market share of over 45.0% in 2024. The market is driven by increasing demand for food safety, regulatory compliance, precision farming, and sustainable agricultural practices.
Agriculture testing refers to the technique of measuring contaminant content and quality of water, seed, and soil. It is used for analyzing suitable resources and inputs, such as composition, moisture, soil fertility, acidity, and pH level, required to facilitate optimum crop yield. Agriculture testing includes bio-solid, manure, seed, soil and water testing, which primarily characterizes the fertility level and evaluates analytical water quality for irrigation. This, in turn, is assisting farmers, municipalities, and environmental agencies in selecting suitable fertilizers for enhancing crop production, quality, profitability, and nutrient availability across a field.
One of the key factors driving the global agriculture testing market growth is the increasing demand for agricultural products on account of rapid population expansion, urbanization, and industrialization, particularly in emerging economies. Agriculture testing ensures crops are made through genetic engineering, while maintaining the quality of ingredients. Additionally, the increasing outbreaks of various foodborne illnesses, including reactive arthritis, cancer, kidney and liver failure, and brain and neural disorders are facilitating the adoption of agriculture testing across the globe. Besides this, the increasing instances of improper disposal of untreated industrial wastes into the environment have prompted governments of various nations to perform periodical soil testing, which, in turn, is aiding in enhancing the safety and quality of agricultural commodities, Moreover, various technological advancements, such as the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), to provide real-time insights into the remotely located, insufficiently treated fields are providing an impetus to the market growth. Apart from this, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, along with the establishment of well-equipped laboratories to effectively test samples and commercialize farming, are creating a positive outlook for the market.
