Market Overview

The analytical techniques used to identify and measure allergens in food products are known as "food allergen testing." These tests are meant to identify specific proteins or chemicals that can provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Even in minute quantities, food allergies can cause symptoms like rashes, enlarged airways, or digestive issues. Growing advancements in testing for food allergies are anticipated to present significant market potential prospects. Food allergies are becoming increasingly prevalent among youngsters, driving up demand for the food allergen testing market. The market is expanding due to several causes, including the need for advisory labeling and strict labeling regulations, the rise in consumer cases of allergic diseases, the globalization of the food trade, and an increase in food products that contain undeclared allergens.

Market Segmentation

The food allergen testing market share is classified into technology and food test.  

• The PCR-based segment is estimated to hold a significant market revenue share through the projected period.  

Based on the technology, the food allergen testing market is classified into biosensors-based, immunoassay-based/ELISA, PCR-based, and others. Among these, the PCR-based segment is estimated to hold a significant market revenue share through the projected period. The increasing progress in PCR testing technology is part of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing conducted. To ensure that food products are safe for those with food allergies, PCR technology offers the potential to increase the precision and effectiveness of allergen identification in food products.  

• The beverages segment is anticipated to hold a significant market share through the forecast period.

Based on the food test, the food allergen testing market is divided into processed food, baby food, and beverages. Among these, the beverages segment is anticipated to hold a significant market share through the forecast period. Important manufacturers are currently providing screening food testing kits in the beverage market as a result of increasing concern over the presence of allergens in beverages.    

Regional Segment Analysis of the Food Allergen Testing Market

• North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico) 
• Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe)
• Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of APAC)
• South America (Brazil and the Rest of South America) 
• The Middle East and Africa (UAE, South Africa, Rest of MEA)

North America is anticipated to hold the largest share of the food allergen testing market over the predicted timeframe.

North America is anticipated to hold the largest share of the food allergen testing market over the predicted timeframe. This is due to the stringent laws governing the labeling of packaged foods. Eight major food allergens milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans must be packaged on food labels, either in the ingredient list or in a separate allergen statement in this region. In addition, rising consumer incidence of food allergies is driving expansion in the regional market. In North America, the market for food allergen testing is driven by the rising number of food allergies.   

Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR growth of the food allergen testing market during the forecast period. This is due to the region's high allergy prevalence, which is pushing food producers to test their products for food allergens on a per-product basis. The Population Reference Bureau reports that between 3.8% and 7.7% of infants in China have food allergies and that children in China have higher prevalence rates of allergies than adults. Given the rise in food allergy frequency in recent years, food allergies are becoming a bigger problem in China.
