These developments represent a shift from a focus on the environment to individual testing. Higher public awareness is likely to further drive the demand for PFAS detection in wellness and clinical settings.
  • Technological advancements enhancing detection precision: Recent advancements in analytical techniques and instrumentation are enhancing the capacity and precision of PFAS identification. The announcement of a new workflow for targeted PFAS, synchronized with the launch of the Agilent 6495 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS (LC/TQ), and other PFAS consumables by Agilent Technologies Inc. in June 2025, is a significant example of technological advancements in enhancing detection precision. The solution was developed based on Method 1633 of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These tools manage contamination factors and guarantee compliance with the corresponding regulatory requirements.  The application of the enhanced LC-MS/MS systems and cartridge-based sample preparation systems is increasing lab productivity. These improvements are crucial as testing increases in terms of matrices involving water, soil, and products that people use in their daily lives.

Challenges

  • Diverse sample matrices and analytical complexity: The diversity of the sample matrix, from water and soil to cosmetic products and blood, also contributes to the difficulty in standardizing PFAS testing.  However, achieving high accuracy at low detection thresholds for multiple compounds in the PFAS family is technically demanding. International differences also affect the comparability of results across countries due to variations in the methods used. Due to the dynamic nature of the market, laboratories need to adapt to new rules and regulations by upgrading their equipment. This puts operational pressure, especially on small-scale theatres. These limitations will have to be addressed through the ongoing process of standardization of global standards and the enhancement of workflow solutions.
  • Public trust and legal liability risk: The increasing number of PFAS-related litigation cases and the focus on media coverage are increasing the pressure on test accuracy and data. In February 2025, Santa Clara County initiated one of the largest lawsuits against manufacturers such as 3M and DuPont for PFAS contamination. In such scenarios, both the labs and the product companies are exposed to reputational and legal risks whenever testing is substandard or partial. A lack of accurate results might result in penalties for non-compliance and loss of trust from consumers. This has led to a heightened requirement for validated and certified testing solutions, thus increasing the legal admissibility of data.

The Ministries of Health are harmonizing national standards of water quality with international ones.

Europe Market Insights

Europe is set to emerge as an expanding PFAS testing market during the forecast period, owing to the tightened regulatory environment. One such example is the entry into force of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) in February 2025. The regulation restricted the use of intentionally added PFAS in packaging for food items. As a result, the demand for precise PFAS testing methods is likely to increase in the coming years.

The PFAS testing market in Germany is set to witness exponential growth due to the stringent EU regulations, obligating different industries in Germany to strengthen their PFAS testing. The rising prevalence of high-profile contamination cases is also accelerating the demand for precise PFAS testing in Germany. Strategic partnerships are also initiated in Germany to enable further advancement of PFAS testing methods. As revealed by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space (BMFTR) in April 2025, the PROMISCES project undertaken in adherence to the European Green Deal brought 27 partners from 9 nations in a time span of 3 and a half years for the development of innovative approaches suitable to monitor and reduce the PFAS pollution. This type of initiative is expected to increase the sustainability of the PFAS testing market.

The UK PFAS testing market is projected to expand at a rapid CAGR, on account of growing awareness of the health and environmental risks of PFAS chemicals. Such an awareness has influenced the transformation of PFAS testing from a niche service to a critical element of health and environmental risk management. Involvement of organizations in the development of different analytical techniques is helping to increase the efficiency and precision of PFAS testing. One such example is the collaboration of Puraffinity with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in July 2025 for a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement.

Asia Pacific Market Insights

Asia Pacific market for PFAS testing is projected to increase at a high CAGR, attributed to the increasing industrialization and environmental concerns across the region. The expansion of the firms headquartered within the region also fuels the market growth. In March 2024, Synergen Met signed a strategic collaboration with Yokogawa for the implementation of PFAS remediation technologies in North America, with production from the Asia Pacific. Regional labs are increasing capacities and sophistication as contamination in large cities like Shenzhen is revealed. Strategic collaborations are expanding access to high-throughput testing technologies across the various sectors. The governments are now extending their efforts to monitor PFAS in water, cosmetics, and food chains. As is evident in Kibichuo Town, Japan’s national response to PFAS demonstrates the public sector’s engagement. The region is moving from being a PFAS producer to becoming a regulator and a tester.

China remains the largest contributor of PFAS testing in Asia due to higher pollution control measures and its position as the largest manufacturer of PFAS. In October 2024, studies on bottled and tap water from various cities, such as Shenzhen, found that they contained PFAS levels beyond what is acceptable in the U.S. These revelations have prompted demands for new regulation and preventive measures. Analytical laboratories and state organizations are improving the identification methods for food products, cosmetics, and industrial emissions. There is public funding for method development and public release of findings by the government. China’s increasing export sector is also exerting pressure on manufacturers to meet global PFAS standards of safety standards. This dual pressure will support the growth of the market.

The testing market of PFAS in India is gradually emerging owing to the increasing awareness of food safety and environmental policies. Strategic collaborations are also initiated in the country for the advancement of PFAS testing. In May 2024, Agilent collaborated with the National Research Centre for Grapes in India to co-create analytical workflows for PFAS in food. This is a shift towards residue monitoring in agriculture and consumer products. Growing concerns about the presence of PFAS in water and other products are now forcing local laboratories to use EPA standard protocols. The institutional buying of water quality and clean cosmetics is being propelled by government funding. While India continues to strive for export accreditation along with its domestic policies for PFAS testing, the testing environment is only getting more complex and capable.
