Stringent Legislations Across the Globe on Maintaining Water Quality to Contribute to The Water Quality Testing Equipment Market Growth

The Clean Water Act (CWA) in the US is responsible for the protection of water bodies in the US with the standards set as per the desired usage of it. The Safe Drinking Water Act (SWDA) in the country is responsible for maintaining and improving the quality of drinking water supplied to the masses. The SWDA is also accountable for listing the standards in public water treatment plants.

Innovative Water Processing Techniques to Drive the Overall Growth in Water Quality Testing Equipment Market

The water desalination process is a widely adopted process in the Middle Eastern countries to bring a balance in the demand-supply of water. However, the process is observed to have specific negative impacts on the water bodies and the allied water ecosystem. It has been noted that the desalination process results in the diffusion of chemicals and anti-fouling agents in the sea. As a corrective measure, water agencies use automated warning stations and much other water quality testing equipment for monitoring the quality of water. The adoptions of water quality monitoring systems are therefore anticipated to spike up in the Middle Eastern region.

The water quality testing equipment market is segmented on the basis of the end-user. The Government segment of end-users is expected to dominate the water quality testing equipment market during the forecast period. The government sector includes laboratories, public water distribution systems, thermal power generation, agriculture, wastewater management, and many more. All these sectors need to follow various government regulations that are mandatory to check the water quality.

Key findings of the study:

Rising social awareness and rising disposable incomes in APAC contribute to market growth. Rapid industrialization and urbanization characterize the APAC region, especially the developing economies of South East Asia, India, and China. Unplanned urban development puts undue stress on water resources and has led to severe water scarcity issues. Further, water contamination is another major concern prevalent in the region, and the unregulated discharge of industrial wastewater into the water resources and the absence of an advanced water infrastructure leads to severe water pollution. A majority of chronic diseases have arisen in APAC owing to water contamination, and a large part of the population faces the risk of falling prey to the water-borne disease. Governments in these developing economies have thus taken initiatives to control water pollution, mandated the water quality to be used by the end-user industries. The socio-economic progress of the region has further resulted in rising social awareness amongst the masses about the usage of safe and potable water for various purposes.  These factors have had a large impact on the growth of the water testing quality equipment market in APAC during the forecast period.

Water scarcity issues and the search for alternative water sources are expected to drive the water quality testing equipment market globally. Satiating the water demands of a huge population coupled with increasing water scarcity has propelled researchers to look for other approaches for the extraction of potable water. The desalination process is one of the most widely adopted approaches, especially in Middle Eastern countries. Consistent water quality monitoring in these processes demand a robust installation of water quality testing equipment.

Some of the key players operating in the water quality testing equipment market are ABB Ltd., Agilent Technologies Inc., AquaPhoenix Scientific Inc., Danaher Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Thermo-Fisher Scientific, Shimadzu Corporation, Horiba, Ltd., General Electric (GE), and Eurofins Scientific SE.
