PH Meters Market

The global PH meters market size will expand on account of increasing awareness about the impurities present in water worldwide. According to World Health Organization, there are at least 2 billion people that drink water contaminated with faeces globally. Fortune Business Insights, in its latest report, titled "PH Meters Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Meter Type (Benchtop pH meter, Portable pH meter, Continuous pH Meters), By Application (Pharmaceutical & research laboratories, Food & beverages, water & wastewater treatment, Chemicals, Oil & gas, Others (Agriculture)) Others and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026.", predicts positive growth owing to increasing prevalence of diseases caused due to contamination of water globally for the market during the forecast period.

PH meters are scientific electric devices that are specially used to measure hydrogen-ion levels in water solutions. Water solutions having large number of hydrogen ions are most likely to be acidic in nature. Whereas, that which contain equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions are termed as pure water solutions. High levels of acidity or alkalinity present in water can lead to numerous diseases and health issues among the people. A PH meter comes handy in such situations as it is widely used as a medium to ensure the quality and safety of the drinking water according to regulatory standards set by government agencies. With several cases of contamination of drinking water coming to the fore, the increasing use of PH meters is expected to drive the growth of the market in the forecast period.
