Environmental Monitoring Market

The global environmental monitoring market is projected to grow from USD 16.10 billion in 2025 to USD 21.14 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.6%. The growth of the environmental monitoring market is primarily driven by stringent pollution-monitoring standards from governments, deteriorating air quality due to rising particulate matter (PM2.5) levels, and heightened health concerns. Additionally, increasing government regulations, advancements in sensor technologies, and growing awareness of environmental sustainability are driving demand for accurate, real-time monitoring solutions, making environmental analysis an essential element of pollution control, resource management, and regulatory compliance globally.

As of 2025, the key players operating in the global environmental monitoring market are Agilent Technologies (US), Danaher (US), Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), Shimadzu Corporation (Japan), PerkinElmer (US), 3M (US), Emerson Electric Co. (US), bioMérieux S.A. (France), Honeywell International Inc. (US), Merck KGaA (Germany), Siemens AG (Germany), Emerson Electric Co. (US), and Forbes Marshall (India), among others.

Partnerships and collaborations are the major strategies adopted by these key players. For instance, in November 2025, Agilent Technologies launched Agilent Innovation Hub, a new research facility created in partnership with the University of Melbourne through the Australian Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants (ALEC). The hub will advance environmental health and safety research by combining Agilent’s analytical technology portfolio with ALEC’s scientific expertise to address Australia’s growing need for data on pollutants and population health. Furthermore, in November 2025, Fitwel announced a new partnership with Awair, allowing direct integration of Awair Omni’s commercial-grade indoor air quality sensor data with Fitwel’s certification platform. This integration enables verification of indoor environmental quality while significantly reducing the documentation burden for building owners and operators.
