The PFAS testing market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the adoption of high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), automated sample-preparation systems, and advanced chromatography platforms to meet stringent detection limits and evolving regulatory requirements. The need to identify and quantify broader PFAS panels, emerging PFAS compounds, and trace-level contamination across drinking water, wastewater, soil, sediment, food, and industrial samples is prompting laboratories to upgrade their analytical capabilities. Furthermore, the growing use of automated solid-phase extraction (SPE), high-throughput workflows, PFAS-specific columns and consumables, contamination-control solutions, and integrated data-analysis software is improving testing accuracy, reproducibility, laboratory efficiency, and throughput. These technological advancements, coupled with expanding regulatory monitoring, environmental surveillance, and remediation activities, are expected to accelerate investment in advanced PFAS testing technologies and support sustained market growth.
The instruments segment held the major share in the PFAS testing market in 2025.
By product type, the PFAS testing market is segmented into instruments (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), standalone mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, other instruments), consumables (sample preparation products, chromatography columns, reference materials & analytical standards, solvents, membrane & syringe filters, reagents, other consumables), and software & services. The instruments segment held the largest share of the PFAS testing market in 2025. Instruments are a key growth driver, fueled by the growing adoption of high-sensitivity LC-MS/MS and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for ultra-trace detection and the analysis of expanded PFAS panels. While LC-MS/MS continues to dominate routine targeted testing and regulatory compliance applications, HRMS is gaining importance for suspect and non-targeted screening of emerging PFAS compounds. Laboratories are increasingly implementing automated solid-phase extraction (SPE), high-throughput sample-preparation platforms, direct-injection workflows, and PFAS-specific contamination-control components to enhance testing throughput, reproducibility, and data reliability. In response to stricter drinking-water and environmental monitoring requirements, instrument manufacturers are focusing on improved sensitivity, faster analytical cycles, broader analyte coverage, and enhanced automation, thereby supporting continued investment in advanced PFAS testing instruments.
The liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) segment accounted for a significant share of the PFAS testing market in 2025.
By technique, the PFAS testing market is segmented into liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), mass spectrometry, combustion ion chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), and other techniques. The LC-MS/MS segment held the largest share of the PFAS testing market in 2025. The LC-MS instrument segment is experiencing strong growth, driven by increasing demand for high sensitivity, selectivity, and reliable quantification of PFAS at ultra-trace concentrations. Regulatory methods such as EPA Methods 533 and 537.1 for drinking water and Method 1633A for wastewater, surface water, groundwater, soil, biosolids, sediment, landfill leachate, and tissue are supporting the adoption of LC-MS/MS platforms for standardized compliance testing. Laboratories are increasingly investing in advanced triple-quadrupole systems with improved detection limits, isotope-dilution capabilities, multiple-reaction monitoring, automated sample preparation, and high-throughput workflows to analyze broader PFAS panels and complex sample matrices. In parallel, instrument manufacturers are enhancing LC-MS platforms with improved sensitivity, faster analysis, expanded analyte coverage, and integrated software for data processing and quality control, thereby supporting continued investment in LC-MS instruments for environmental, drinking-water, food, and industrial PFAS testing.
The water testing segment accounted for a significant share of the PFAS testing market, by application, in 2025
Based on application, the PFAS testing market is segmented into water testing (groundwater and potable water testing, wastewater testing), soil testing, food and beverage testing, blood/serum testing, air monitoring, microbial testing, and other applications. The water testing segment held the largest share of the PFAS testing market in 2025. The water treatment application is expected to see strong growth in the PFAS testing market, driven by growing concerns about PFAS contamination in drinking water, groundwater, surface water, and industrial wastewater. Stricter environmental regulations, expanding monitoring programs, and increased investments in PFAS remediation are prompting water utilities, industrial facilities, and treatment operators to conduct regular testing before and after treatment. The growing adoption of advanced treatment technologies, including activated carbon, ion-exchange resins, reverse osmosis, and other membrane-based systems, is also driving demand for PFAS testing to evaluate removal efficiency and confirm compliance with regulatory limits. In addition, laboratories are adopting sensitive LC-MS/MS platforms, automated sample preparation, and broader PFAS analytical panels to monitor trace-level contamination and assess treatment performance, supporting continued growth in PFAS testing for water treatment applications.
As of 2025, prominent players in the PFAS testing market were Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (US), Agilent Technologies (US), Danaher Corporation (US), Shimadzu Corporation (Japan), and Waters Corporation (US). among others.
