The Global Microbiological Testing of Water Market Size is projected to exceed USD 3.18 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2022 to 2032. The primary drivers driving market expansion are increasing consumer awareness about drinking safe, nutritious water, as well as an increase in the consumption of water free of bacteria and chemicals. Drinking and industrial water testing is used in the biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, and food sectors. Increased water-borne diseases such as typhoid, dysentery, and cholera contribute significantly to market expansion.

 

 

Market Overview

The global microbiological testing of water market is a rapidly growing market that involves the testing of water for the presence of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This testing is essential to ensure the safety of drinking water and to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. In accordance to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, typhoid affects 11 to 20 million people worldwide each year. The market is driven by various factors, including the increasing demand for safe drinking water, growing public health concerns regarding waterborne diseases, and strict government regulations regarding water quality. The market is also driven by the increasing awareness among consumers regarding the importance of water quality and the need for regular testing.

 

The major players in the global microbiological testing of water market include Bio-Rad Laboratories, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Danaher Corporation, Merck KGaA, and 3M Company, among others. These companies are investing heavily in research and development to develop advanced technologies and testing methods that can improve the accuracy and efficiency of water testing.

 

For instance, in November 2022, IDEXX, an international leader in rapid microbiology testing for water, has taken over Tecta-PDS, a forward-thinking Canadian firm that has automated water-based microbiology testing for variables such as E. coli and total coliforms. This merger enables IDEXX to broaden its water microbiology testing options for both laboratory and in-field testing.

 

The global microbiological testing of water market is expected to continue to grow at a significant rate in the coming years, due to the increasing demand for safe drinking water and the growing importance of water quality testing in various industries.

Driving Factors

The global microbiological testing of water market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for safe drinking water and growing public health concerns regarding waterborne diseases. The market is driven by stringent government regulations regarding water quality, which mandate the testing of water for various microbiological contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The regulations are aimed at ensuring that the water is safe for consumption and does not pose any health risks to the public. The growing awareness of waterborne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery, is also driving the demand for microbiological testing of water. These diseases are caused by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms in water, and regular testing is necessary to prevent their spread.

 

The market is also driven by technological advancements in microbiological testing methods, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and flow cytometry. These advanced testing methods offer greater accuracy and efficiency in detecting microbiological contaminants in water. The increasing environmental concerns, such as the contamination of water sources due to industrial and agricultural activities, are also driving the demand for microbiological testing of water. The testing helps to identify the sources of contamination and take corrective measures to prevent the spread of contaminants.

 

Restraining Factors

Microbiological testing of water can be expensive, particularly when using advanced technologies such as PCR or flow cytometry. This can be a barrier for smaller companies and organizations that may not have the financial resources to invest in testing. In some regions, there may be a limited number of testing facilities that can perform microbiological testing of water. This can create a bottleneck in the testing process and limit the growth of the market.

 

A fully equipped microbiological water testing laboratory necessitates substantial capital investment from businesses, institutions, organizations, or government agencies. Testing equipment, in addition to having excessive expenses for installation, must also be maintained on time, which adds costs and reduces operating margins for companies or processors. Water processors are looking for less expensive alternatives, such as renting equipment. Outsourcing microbial water quality testing to third-party laboratories reduces capital and operating expenses.

 

Market Segmentation

The Global Microbiological Testing of Water Market share is classified into pathogen type, type, and water type.

 

• The coliform is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global microbiological testing of water market during the forecast period. 

Based on the pathogen type, the global microbiological testing of water market is divided into coliform, legionella, clostridium, salmonella, and vibrio. Among these, the coliform is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global microbiological testing of water market during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed due to its widespread use as an indicator of water quality. Coliform bacteria are commonly used as indicators of water quality and can indicate the presence of fecal contamination in water. Testing for coliforms is important for ensuring that water is safe to drink and use. 

 

• The instruments segment is expected to grow at the highest pace in the global microbiological testing of water market over the projected period. 

On the basis of the type, the global microbiological testing of water market is segmented into instruments, reagents & test kits. Among these, the instruments segment is expected to grow at the highest pace in the global microbiological testing of water market over the projected period. The growth can be attributed due to the increasing adoption of automated and high-throughput systems in the industry. Instruments used for microbiological testing of water include automated systems, PCR machines, spectrophotometers, and others. These instruments can provide accurate and efficient results for large-scale testing and are commonly used in commercial and industrial settings.
