The global environmental testing market size was US$ 8.9 billion in 2021. The global environmental testing market is forecast to grow to US$ 14.9 billion by 2030 by registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2030. 
Environmental testing is the process of conducting a series of tests on to support life on Earth. These tests help determine the suitability of resources in order to decline exploitation. Environmental testing procedures are mainly carried out to determine the number of pollutants in the natural environment and determine their effects on all living things. 
Large-scale releases of artificial and natural waste chemicals are currently polluting the atmosphere and contributing to global warming. Maintaining adequate levels of all materials in the atmosphere is critical for a sustainable future. Large spills of hazardous materials can enter the soil and possibly groundwater, influencing the water supply. Tests are carried out in order to determine the impact. Once the impact has been determined, sanitation can begin to limit human exposure.

Factors Influencing the Market
Environmental regulations, particularly those aimed at reducing airborne particulates, are highly beneficial for health. Environmental legislation has greatly improved the quality of air and water, particularly in areas that were previously polluted. Government organizations have enacted laws and regulations to test, inspect, and certify the environmental samples of state and manufacturing firms. Thus, such regulations will drive the growth of the global environmental testing market during the forecast period. 
The rising level of pollution will also surge the demand for crucial steps in order to control the pollution. Thus, it will escalate the growth of the global environmental testing market. 
The increasing implementation of new research methods in order to test the presence of pollutants in pesticide residues, heavy metals, and organic chemicals will boost the growth of the global environmental testing market.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The demand for environmental testing has considerably increased to detect the presence of the virus, combined with the percentage of pollutants. Thus, it has significantly contributed to the growth of the global environmental testing market. In the wake of the pandemic, health safety has been a major priority forcing governments to focus on declining pollution rates. Thus, it will open several doors of opportunities for the global environmental testing market during the study period.

Regional Analysis
North America is forecast to hold the highest market share in the environmental testing market due to the growing involvement of various environmental governance organizations. Furthermore, the introduction of various policies on environmental protection in the region will contribute to the growth of the market. Europe is expected to hold a significant share due to the presence of a large number of test labs and favorable government policies to control pollution in the region.
