Market Overview

The China PFAS Testing Market is the industry that detects and monitors PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," in water, soil, air, food, and biological samples to ensure safety and compliance. PFAS are man-made compounds that are frequently used in industries such as textiles, electronics, vehicles, and chemicals. However, their ongoing presence in the environment and links to health risks required testing. This market includes laboratory services, modern instruments such as LC-MS/MS and GC/MS, consumables, and software solutions, all of which are being driven by stricter government regulations, international trade rules, and increased public health awareness. In essence, it is a network of technologies, services, and policies that work together to detect and control PFAS contamination, protecting the environment and human health while encouraging industrial compliance. Additionally, the demand for improved environmental monitoring and the extension of testing beyond basic environmental matrices are creating significant opportunities in China's PFAS testing market. The increasing emphasis on food safety, particularly for imported and domestically produced foods that may include PFAS residues, opens up substantial new testing opportunities as PFAS is influencing market strategies and product development.

The inclusion of PFASs, particularly with the detailed listing of numerous specific substances, demonstrates China's regulatory expansion from the limited scope of PFOS substances in the "List of Priority Controlled Chemicals (First Batch)" and PFOA substances in the "List of Priority Controlled Chemicals (Second Batch)" to the broader PFAS family. This reflects a substantial increase in the scope and stringency of regulations, aligning closely with international trends.

Agilent Technologies announced a $20 million investment to expand its Shanghai manufacturing center. The expansion was aimed at meeting the rising demand in China for advanced analytical instruments, particularly liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) systems, which are widely used in PFAS testing and other environmental and industrial applications

Driving Factors

China's PFAS testing market is primarily driven by Environmental concerns, and the government is putting more regulatory pressure on polluting industries. China's huge manufacturing sector and rapid modernization have raised awareness and concern about the contamination of water supplies, soil, and consumer products by Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Strict environmental regulations, particularly those governing water quality and industrial effluent discharge, are driving industries to establish rigorous PFAS testing techniques. The government's push for cleaner production, as well as the "Healthy China 2030" campaign, has indirectly increased demand for precision testing procedures to ensure compliance and public safety. Furthermore, rising public knowledge of the negative health effects associated with PFAS exposure in drinking water and consumer items, such as textiles, generates growth in the market.

Restraining Factors

The China PFAS testing market faces key restraints such as limited technical expertise, fragmented regulations, limited awareness among stakeholders, dependence on imported technology, and slow adoption across industries.

Market segmentation

The China PFAS testing market share is classified into application and method.

• The drinking water segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period.

The China PFAS testing market is divided by application into drinking water, wastewater, soil, food and beverages, and others. Among these, the drinking water segment held a substantial share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is driven since water safety is a significant public health priority. PFAS pollution in water is a severe concern, and the government has prioritized monitoring and control efforts. As a result, municipal water suppliers and environmental agencies are driving the need for testing, making this the most crucial sector in the country's PFAS testing activities.

• The EPA segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period.

The China PFAS testing market is segmented by method into EPA, DIN, ISO, ASTM, and others. Among these, the EPA segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR over the forecast period. This is the leading segment because, due to their high reputation and widespread regulatory acceptance, EPA standards have been the most important in driving China's PFAS testing practices and determining market compliance requirements. Methods like EPA 537.1 and EPA 533 are widely used to identify PFAS in drinking water and wastewater, making them the standard for accuracy and dependability.
