U.S. PFAS Testing Market to Reach US$739.24 Million as EPA Proposals Put Laboratory Readiness in Focus

The U.S. PFAS testing market is entering a period of regulatory and technical change. On May 18, 2026, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed retaining federal drinking-water limits for PFOA and PFOS while giving eligible water systems the option to request until 2031 to comply. The EPA also proposed rescinding the federal limits for PFHxS, PFNA, HFPO-DA and certain mixtures. Both actions are proposals, not final rules. For laboratories, utilities and testing providers, the changing framework makes method validation, analyte coverage and compliance planning central to PFAS testing decisions. US EPA

According to DataM Intelligence, the U.S. PFAS testing market was valued at US$199.16 million in 2025 and is forecast to reach US$739.24 million by 2035, growing at a 14.4% CAGR from 2026 to 2035. Regulatory monitoring, remediation requirements and demand for ultra-trace analysis across water, soil, wastewater, biosolids, food, consumer products and industrial samples are supporting demand.

Testing requirements differ by matrix and regulation. EPA Methods 533 and 537.1 support drinking-water analysis, while Method 1633 covers wastewater, surface water, groundwater, soil, biosolids, sediment, landfill leachate and fish tissue. This broad scope favors laboratories with validated workflows, low detection limits, careful contamination controls and LC-MS/MS capabilities. EPA's proposed changes add planning complexity: PFOA and PFOS monitoring remains relevant, while laboratories may need to track how the final treatment of other PFAS affects future testing requirements.

Technology development is extending beyond targeted panels. High-resolution mass spectrometry and non-targeted analysis can help identify PFAS-like compounds outside predefined analyte lists, while direct-injection workflows aim to streamline sample preparation for environmental water.

Market Segmentation

DataM Intelligence segments the market by offering, testing method, technology, PFAS type, sample type and application. In 2025, regulatory-compliance testing represented 38.47% of the market, while industrial-process testing is identified as the fastest-growing application, with a reported 15.9% CAGR. Applications also include drinking-water testing, wastewater and industrial-effluent testing, environmental testing, food and consumer-product testing, biological and healthcare testing, and research and development.

Technology segments include LC-MS/MS, high-resolution mass spectrometry, GC-MS, combustion ion chromatography, total-organic-fluorine analysis and non-targeted analysis. The market also covers EPA, ASTM, ISO and proprietary testing methods; long-chain, short-chain and ultra-short-chain PFAS; and samples ranging from drinking water and groundwater to soil, sediment, biosolids, food, biological samples, industrial effluents and consumer products. Offerings span testing services, reference materials, sample-preparation products, laboratory consumables, software, data-management solutions and regulatory consulting.

Recent Developments

- May 18, 2026: The EPA proposed maintaining federal drinking-water limits for PFOA and PFOS, with an option for eligible systems to request up to two additional years to comply. It separately proposed rescinding limits for several other PFAS and mixtures.

- March 2026: Waters reported using non-targeted screening with its Xevo MRT mass spectrometer to identify and quantify PFAS in biosolids, leachate and river-water reference materials, including a tentatively identified PFAS isoform.

- February 2026: Waters published a direct-injection UPLC-MS/MS method for analyzing anionic, cationic and zwitterionic PFAS in environmental water samples.

- January 6, 2026: Agilent launched its Altura Poroshell 120 PFAS LC column family for single-injection analysis of C1-C18 PFAS in routine LC/MS workflows.
