Market Overview

Food safety testing is an evaluation of food products to determine their edibility or otherwise to find and isolate contaminants, pathogens, and other kinds of dangerous microorganisms. Testing is the most ensuring activity for eliminating the possibilities of food-borne illnesses and ensuring compliance with legislation and quality requirements of food products. Part of food safety testing involves following different methods: microbiological tests, chemical analyses, and physical tests that find bacteria, viruses, toxins, pesticides, and heavy metals that may contaminate food samples. The main drivers of demand for food safety testing are stringent new regulations from the government, increasing consumer awareness in terms of food quality and safety, and globalization of food supply chains. One such example involves advanced techniques such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), immunoassays, and high-performance liquid chromatography, which have got widely used in fast and accurate detection of contaminants. There is a very dynamic and plethoric factors which create and shape the food testing safety market, for example the regulatory environment, technological application and market demands. It spurred growth in the global market due to high demand for natural and nutritious food additives, increased consumer awareness regarding their health benefits, food safety issues, growing elderly population, increased healthcare costs, lifestyle changes, and various food safety testing options available.

Driving Factors

Increasingly changing climate patterns, acquiring greater food supply chaining globalization in the world, and shifting food patterns and preferences have also aggravated the risk of contamination and spreading foodborne pathogens. Heightened consumer awareness and the ever-increasing demand for the availability of safe food products bring about increasing pressure for investment in advanced testing technologies, leading to a growth trajectory in the market.

Restraining Factors

Market growth is repressed by such a high cost of sophisticated food safety testing equipment. These highly advanced testing instruments including mass spectrometers, chromatographs, and molecular analyzers are the most important equipment for a precision-intensive, thorough analysis of food hazards. Nevertheless, entry costs to use such equipment, in addition to ongoing maintenance costs, are very high, making them unaffordable costs, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Market Segmentation

The Food Safety Testing market share is classified into Test, Food Tested, and Technology.

• The allergen testing segment is expected to hold the largest share through the forecast period.

Based on the test, the food safety testing market is categorized into allergen testing, chemical & nutritional testing, and pathogen testing. Among these, the allergen testing segment is expected to hold the largest share through the forecast period. The growth is attributed to food allergen testing methods that are now growing in the segment due to increasing food allergies among consumers. This has also given rise to health consciousness amongst people. Nearly 6 % of both children and adults in the USA have some sort of food allergy, increasing the segment during the forecast period.

• The meat, poultry & seafood segment holds the highest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the food tested, the food safety testing market is categorized into meat, poultry & seafood, dairy products, processed foods, fruits & vegetables, and others. Among these, the meat, poultry & seafood segment holds the highest market share through the forecast period. The growth is driven due to the meat chicken and fish such as ones that for the most basic food products check for any pathogens or chemicals or allergens to ensure the food is fit for human consumption. This has been increasing demand for the food that had all types of protein, and especially meat products. Meat, poultry, and seafood consumption levels are increasing the rest of the world. There's increasing need for protein-rich foods: meat products, in particular. Increasing consumption levels of meat, poultry, and seafood are perceivable continuously around the world.

• Conventional segment holds the biggest market share of the food safety testing market through the forecast period.

Based on the technology, the food safety testing market is categorized into rapid and conventional. Among these, the conventional segment holds the highest market share of the food safety testing market through the forecast period. The segmental growth is due to these tests, which would consume valuable time and cost a lot of money in equipment to get accurate results with them. They isolate the bacteria from the sample and grow them on culture media for identification. Although they are time-consuming, conventional tests provide more accurate results than rapid tests.
