Market Dynamic

The global food safety testing market is driven by the growing food-borne illnesses worldwide, triggered by the consumption of contaminated or spoiled food containing several microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, parasites, & viruses. Further mycotoxins, heavy metals, & chemicals further contribute to these illnesses. The lack of awareness among food handlers & manufacturers, regarding modern technologies, good manufacturing practices (GMP), hazard analysis, critical control points (HACCP) systems, & quality control, enhances problems related to food-borne diseases. Increasing product recalls, often due to contamination, highlight the need for better food safety testing equipment & systems.
 
However, despite rising demand, the market faces challenges, as insufficient infrastructure in testing laboratories hampers accurate results. Small enterprises lack information on advanced food safety methods, hindering their ability to meet safety requirements and posing risks of contamination. Further, as the industry embraces automation, the shortage of skilled professionals, especially in smaller enterprises, poses a challenge to effective food safety testing. Government-led educational programs are crucial to addressing the lack of expertise and technical knowledge, ensuring comprehensive food safety evaluations, and reducing the potential risks in the food & beverage industry.

Research Scope and Analysis

By Technology

The microbiological testing segment takes the lead in global revenue in 2023, playing an essential role in detecting microorganisms in food through accurate chemical, biological, molecular, & biochemical methods., which contributes to the segment’s significant market share. Also, the allergen testing segment holds a substantial portion of the global revenue, driven by the growing number of food allergies. Increased health consciousness among consumers drives advancements in food allergen testing methods, responding to the rising incidence of allergies. Notably, as reported by the CDC/National Center for Health Statistics in 2023, about 1 in 3 adults and over 1 in 4 children in the US report having a food allergy, highlighting the importance of allergen testing.

Further, the residues & contamination testing segment is expected to significantly growth due to rigorous safety checks identifying the overuse of chemicals like pesticides & herbicides, along with the increased use of antimicrobial drugs & additives. The segment’s expansion is further driven by rising demand for contamination checks in meat, poultry, & meat products, showcasing the importance of maintaining safety & quality standards.

By Application

Meat, poultry, & seafood products take the lead among various application segments, dominating the global food safety testing market in 2023 by capturing a significant market share. The significant global consumption of meat, along with the increased risk of infections associated with red meats, is expected to drive the demand for testing in these segments in the coming years. Challenges like adulteration during packaging, processing, & storage of poultry and meat products highlight the need for regulatory guidelines, as represented by the guidelines set by the Food Safety & Inspection Service. In addition, the seafood testing sector experiences significant growth owing to the high sales of products like shrimp, crustaceans, crabs, tuna, lobsters, swordfish, & others, driven by their nutritional value, including essential nutrients & omega fatty acids.
