Environmental Mass Spectrometry Market

The environmental mass spectrometry market is estimated to reach USD 1.47 billion by 2031, up from USD 0.93 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of  7.3% during the forecast period.

Environmental mass spectrometry demand is being driven by stringent regulatory and monitoring requirements (for drinking water, wastewater, soil, and air, which necessitate trace-level detection), the rising focus on PFAS & microplastic surveillance, and the continued upgradation of environmental labs (due to their unmet need for sensitivity and selectivity). Finally, expanding public and industrial testing programs (utilities, regulators, consultants) are pushing higher sample volumes and more multi-analyte methods—favoring MS platforms that can run broad panels efficiently.
