The increased demand for safe and bacteria free drinking water is accelerating the growth of the market for microbiological testing of water, as per a Marketsandmarkets report. This market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% to more than $2 billion by 2027 and is fast evolving in line with the growing consumer awareness regarding water quality. The more people know about the health risks of drinking contaminated water, the more they have pushed for rigorous testing methods.
This is especially important in the wake of the sharp increase in waterborne diseases, such as typhoid and cholera, which point to the urgent necessity for good water safety measures. The move towards microbial testing is driven by the increasing use of high quality water in industries including pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and food and beverage sectors to ensure product safety and regulatory compliance.
Additionally, the use of private water sources like wells and ponds has doubled the imperative to test regularly. Advanced microbial water analytical instruments are becoming pivotal players in this market with government agencies and research laboratories using them to protect the public health initiatives. With an increasing focus on water safety awareness, the need for microbiological testing solutions will transform industry standards, and clean water will be the top priority all over the world.
