Environmental testing services involve analyzing environmental samples to detect pollutants, evaluate contamination levels, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. This process helps identify potential weaknesses by simulating various climatic and mechanical stressors that may affect the samples throughout their lifecycle.
The primary types of services in the environmental testing market are on-site and off-site testing. On-site testing involves conducting environmental assessments directly at the location of interest, such as construction sites or industrial facilities. Sample types include water, air, soil, food, and biological materials, while the contaminants analyzed may include microbial pollution, organic compounds, heavy metals, residues, and solid particles. The market utilizes both rapid and conventional testing technologies, catering to a wide range of end-users, including government agencies, private companies, environmental consultants, and research and development institutions.

The environment testing services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $12.66 billion in 2024 to $13.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as expanding industrial activities, increasing demand for product safety assurance, the growing adoption of green chemistry, a rising need for water and soil testing, and an increasing requirement for reliable testing.
The environment testing services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth expected during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as rising pollution levels, increasing adoption of wastewater treatment, greater use of sensors, a growing emphasis on sustainability, and an increase in in-house testing. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, the adoption of water testing services, the implementation of green policies, the development of new diagnostic methods, and advancements in testing technologies.
The rising levels of pollution are expected to drive the growth of the environmental testing services market in the coming years. Pollution is increasing due to factors such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, deforestation, improper waste disposal, and the growing use of chemicals in agriculture and manufacturing. Environmental testing services play a crucial role in managing these issues by monitoring and evaluating the concentration of harmful pollutants in air, water, and soil. This helps identify pollution sources, assess environmental impacts, and guide regulatory actions for pollution control. For example, in June 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS), a UK government agency, reported that UK greenhouse gas emissions per resident increased by 1.2% between 2021 and 2022, signaling a slight rise in the country's environmental impact. As a result, the rising pollution levels are contributing to the expansion of the environmental testing services market.
Companies in the environmental testing services market are advancing synthetic chemical testing to identify and analyze harmful pollutants in air, water, and soil. These services are designed to detect toxic substances, ensure compliance with environmental regulations, and protect public health. For example, in October 2024, SGS S.A., a Switzerland-based testing, inspection, and certification company, launched a comprehensive suite of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing services. This initiative aims to address the growing concerns about these persistent environmental contaminants in various sectors, such as food and consumer products. The services help organizations comply with regulations and improve safety by reducing PFAS contamination, which has been linked to serious health risks such as cancer and thyroid problems.
In July 2024, Pace Analytical Services, a US-based technology company, acquired Environmental Services Laboratories Inc. for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is aimed at expanding Pace's laboratory network in the Northeast U.S., enhancing its service capacity, and providing clients with access to a wide range of environmental testing services, including expertise in Marcellus Shale testing and PFAS testing. Environmental Services Laboratories Inc. is a US-based company specializing in testing drinking water, wastewater, soil, solid materials, natural gas, frozen dairy products, and meat.
