The Global Microbiological Testing of Water Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Microbiological Testing of Water Market Definition

Water microbiology studies all aspects of the microorganisms present in water. It is also known as marine microbiology, a sub-discipline of environmental microbiology. The development of certain bacteria in contaminated water can also help digest the toxins in the water. However, other disease-causing organisms in the water are not healthy and even deadly. Drinking water contaminated with a type of Escherichia coli called O157H7 can be fatal. The intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals also contains viruses that can infect water and cause disease. Protozoa are another group of microorganisms of interest in aquatic microbiology.

The two most problematic protozoa are Giardia and Cryptosporidium. They usually live in the intestinal tract of animals, such as beavers and deergiardia and Cryptosporidium form dormant, resistant forms known as cysts during their life cycle. The capsule form is resistant to chlorine, the most common form of drinking water disinfection, and can pass through filters used in many water treatment plants. They can cause weakness, prolonged diarrhea, and life-threatening in people with weakened immune systems if ingested. Multiple microorganisms are found naturally in fresh and saltwater are cyanobacteria, protozoa, algae, and tiny animals like rotifers. These are important in the food chain that forms the base of life in the water.

A variety of microorganisms live in freshwater. The region of a water body near the shoreline is well lighted, shallow, and warmer than other water regions. Photosynthetic algae and bacteria that use light for energy thrive in this area. Far from the shore is the lim magnetic area. Photosynthetic bacteria also live here. As the water gets deeper, the temperature becomes colder, and the oxygen and light concentrations in the water decrease. Now the microorganisms that need oxygen do not grow. Instead, purple and green sulfur bacteria, which can grow without oxygen, dominate. Yet, very few bacteria survive at the bottom of freshwater. Bacteria that can survive in conditions of lack of oxygen and sunlight, like methane-producing bacteria, thrive.

Global Microbiological Testing of Water Market Overview

The primary factor increasing the market growth is increasing consumer awareness regarding consuming water to be safe and of high nutrition value and the increase in the consumption of bacteria and chemical-free water. The testing of drinking and industrial water is being used in the pharmaceutical, bio-pharmaceutical, and food industries. Increasing water-borne diseases like typhoid, dysentery, and cholera play a significant role in market growth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, approximately 11 to 20 million individuals worldwide suffer from typhoid every year.

The increase in government awareness and support regarding increasing health concerns to provide water safety for consumption and industrial purposes has increased the market growth. Also, the increasing water contamination because of increasing urban waste and climatic changes is a severe cause of concern, and increasing the water testing requirements are the factors driving the market growth. The unwillingness of administration and municipal bodies to adopt these kits and biased market penetration for microbiological testing of water and research instruments are the restraints to market growth.

The increasing demand for bottled water is because of the rising consumer demand for high-quality drinking water, increasing consumer awareness of drinking contaminated tap water, the easy portability and convenience supplied by bottled water, and Yet, the rising in the use of eco-friendly packaging and flavored water with regulated components are the opportunities for the market growth of the Microbiological Testing of Water Market. Increasing environmental pollution caused by the plastic trash problem is challenging for the market’s growth.
