The global water testing equipment market size is expected to reach USD 8,812.0 million by 2033, registering a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The surging demand for safe drinking water coupled with rising usage of bacteria & chemical-free water is expected to boost the demand for water testing equipment.
The demand for chemically treated water is escalating owing to its rising demand coupled with legislation and regulatory support for the production of high-quality food & beverages and pharmaceutical products. The growth in demand for chemically treated water is expected to positively influence the market growth over the projected years.
As clean water consumption increases in industries and power generation, companies have been compelled to treat this water after processing. This has increased the use of water testing equipment and has become a significant growth driver for the market and is likely to increase the market over the forecast period.
The governments in developing countries like India and China are imposing strict regulatory guidelines related to the use of water for the production of food & beverages, and pharmaceutical products. The government regularly monitors the operation of these industries and organizes tests to check safety standards. This factor escalated the product demand progressively.
Expanding industrial sectors, including food & beverage, chemicals, pulp & paper, pharmaceutical, power, and oil & gas, resulting in increased consumption of clean water. Along with this, the declining availability of fresh and potable water, primarily in the Middle East & Africa, and China, is expected to drive the demand for water testing equipment.
The market is quite competitive due to new product launches and technological breakthroughs. Application development is a goal for market participants looking to obtain a competitive edge. Large multinational corporations face a serious threat from local firms in Asia Pacific about the quality of their products and the pricing they may charge customers.
