Environmental Monitoring Market
                     Market Highlights 
The global environmental monitoring market is predicted to expand at 10 % CAGR during the 
assessment period (2016-2022) owing to the rising government initiatives to protect the 
environment, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). Environment monitoring refers to the 
process of controlling and monitoring state of the environment after the completing industrial 
functionalities and operations. It comprises technologies used to monitor water pollution, air 
pollution, land contamination, waste management, and others. 
With the rising initiative to protect the environment from water pollution, air pollution, and other 
hazards, the environment monitoring market is likely to expand. Growing implementation of 
environmental monitoring and software for industrial pollution check along with government 
initiatives to develop an eco-friendly infrastructure is anticipated to foster the market growth 
during the assessment period. The government is taking initiative to protect the environment from 
water, air, land, and other forms of challenges. This is expected to propel the market growth over 
the forecast period. Moreover, the growing application of such monitoring software for checking 
industrial pollution is predicted to drive the market. 
On the flip side, lack of technical expertise and difficulty in monitoring certain aspects owing to 
strict government mandates are major challenges inhibiting the market growth over the review 
period. Moreover, factors such as slow implementation of pollution control policies, export barriers 
over environment technologies, and high cost of implementing environmental monitoring systems 
are anticipated to hamper the market growth. 
Segmentation: 
The global environment monitoring software has been segmented on the basis of type, products, 
application, end-users, and region. 
By mode of type, the global environment monitoring market has been segmented into active 
monitoring, continuous monitoring, intermittent monitoring, passive monitoring, and others. 
By mode of products, the global environment monitoring market has been segmented into sensors, 
monitors, and software. 
By mode of application, the global environment monitoring market has been segmented into water 
pollution monitoring, soil pollution monitoring, noise pollution monitoring, air pollution 
monitoring, and others. Among these, the segment for air pollution monitoring is predicted to hold 
the largest market share and is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to 
the growing use of compact monitors, wireless technologies, and sensors. 
By mode of end-users, the global environment monitoring market has been segmented into food & 
beverage, data centers, government, medical, construction, retail, and others. 
Regional Analysis: 
Geographically, the environment monitoring market spans across regions namely, North America, 
Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest-of-the-World. 
Among all the regions, North America is predicted to dominate the market during the forecast 
period owing to the increasing government funding for implementing monitoring stations. Also, the 
strict mandates of the U.S. environmental protection agency are estimated to drive the market in 
this region. 
Europe supports North America in generating the highest revenue by the end of the forecast period 
to fulfill the rising consumer demand. The European environment agency has established economic 
policies for industries, thereby expanding the market for environmental monitoring. 
Asia Pacific is predicted to be the fastest region during the assessment period owing to the rising 
initiatives taken by the government for the development of the environment-friendly industries in 
the Asia Pacific region. 
Industry News 
Wageningen Environmental Research has been awarded a pilot project on citizen science, an
