Legionella Testing Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.04% through 2029
Advances in testing technologies and the
diversification of testing methods is expected to drive the Global Legionella
Testing Market growth in the forecast period, 2025-2029
According to TechSci Research report, “Legionella
Testing Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast
& Opportunities, 2029”, the Global Legionella Testing Market stood at
USD 242.51 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 8.04% in
the forecast period, 2025-2029. This can be attributed to environmental testing.
While Legionella is typically associated with water systems, there is a growing
need for environmental testing of air quality. This is particularly relevant in
facilities like healthcare institutions and hotels, where Legionella
transmission can occur through aerosolized water droplets from sources like
cooling towers. To mitigate this risk, Legionella testing has expanded to
include the assessment of air quality, which requires specialized methods and
equipment.
Furthermore, with the increasing recognition of the
importance of Legionella transmission through aerosols, environmental testing
for air quality is evolving. Advanced techniques and equipment for assessing
Legionella in the environment are becoming more sophisticated and accessible.
This trend will likely continue as more industries adopt environmental testing
to prevent outbreaks.

The anticipated growth in the market is driven by the
rising occurrence of Legionella-related ailments and an increased awareness of
preventive measures. Legionella is responsible for causing Legionellosis, a
respiratory illness resembling pneumonia, which necessitates intensive care and
hospitalization, making it a significant public health concern. According to
data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were
approximately 10,000 reported cases of Legionnaires’ disease in 2018.
Given that Legionella bacteria thrive in hot water
environments, industries reliant on water storage are particularly susceptible
to the development of Legionella in their water systems. These waterborne
bacteria pose potential risks to various settings, including schools,
restaurants, hospitals, and extensive plumbing systems. Consequently, there is
a growing demand in these industries for accurate and timely diagnosis of
Legionella and related infections.
As an illustration, in September 2022, San Miguel de
Tucumán, Argentina, reported four fatalities and 11 severe pneumonia cases.
Later investigations linked this pneumonia outbreak to Legionella, specifically
the L. pneumophila bacterium. Furthermore, in June 2022, the New York Attorney
General entered into an agreement with Verizon to ensure the company takes
swift and comprehensive measures to prevent the spread of Legionnaires' disease
across New York State.
The Global Legionella Testing Market is segmented into
type, end use, regional distribution, and company.
In 2023, the water testing sector dominated the revenue charts, fueled by its type classification. Projections indicate that it will continue to maintain its lead with the most significant Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast period. The sector's remarkable expansion is chiefly propelled by government regulations mandating Legionella testing. Notably, various European countries enforce legal obligations requiring Legionella testing, thus contributing significantly to the sector's growth trajectory.
A significant limitation of traditional testing methods lies in their time-consuming nature. These techniques often require several weeks to deliver results, which hampers the provision of timely and precise information. The absence of accurate diagnostics can result in presumptive or delayed treatments, posing a risk of hindering effective treatment strategies and triggering outbreaks. Hence, there is an urgent demand for the creation of innovative and advanced diagnostic instruments to address this challenge.
In 2023, the microbial culture sector recorded the highest revenue based on end use. This sector distinguishes itself through its remarkable specificity and sensitivity, facilitating the accurate detection of Legionella bacteria. Regulatory guidelines often endorse or require microbial culture techniques due to their effectiveness, thereby safeguarding water quality across diverse settings.
Conversely, the PCR segment is positioned for the most rapid Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) throughout the forecast period. PCR offers numerous advantages, such as prompt and accurate diagnostics, along with consistently reproducible outcomes. Hence, it emerges as the preferred method for bacterial testing. PCR delivers swift results, typically within hours, in contrast to the days needed by microbial culture. Furthermore, it has the capability to detect non-viable and VBNC (Viable But Non-Culturable) Legionella cells, thereby enhancing its precision.
