Food Safety Testing Market Forecast to 2028
Market OverviewTesting for food safety involves locating and calculating the amount of pollutants in the food. Food quality assurance and the prevention of foodborne illness are the goals of food safety testing. During the projected period, it is anticipated that the global market for food safety testing would expand at a considerable rate. Food safety testing is required as a result of an increase in food-borne illness outbreaks globally and the implementation of strict food safety legislation. The market's expansion, though, is being constrained by the lack of adequate support infrastructure in emerging nations.
Small-scale regional firms dominate the highly fragmented food processing sector in emerging nations. Testing laboratories can't be established in nations like Bangladesh, Ethiopia, or Cuba because they lack the most basic infrastructure. Furthermore, many nations lack suitable frameworks for food safety testing because of a number of factors, including low awareness, unstable economies, and a lack of government backing. Regulatory agencies must connect and cooperate more frequently in order to build a solid foundation for food safety testing.
Segment OverviewBased on contaminants, technology, food types, and geographic regions, the food safety testing market is divided into four groups. Pathogens, pesticides, toxins, GMOs, and others make up the pathogens segment of the global market for food safety testing. The world-wide market for food safety testing has been divided into traditional and quick categories based on technology. The world-wide food safety testing market has been segmented into fruits & vegetables, processed foods, dairy products, cereal & grains, meat, poultry & seafood products, and others based on food type.
Regional AnalysisThe North American, European, Asia-Pacific, South American and Middle East & Africa regions make up the majority of the global market for food safety testing. Due to the high prevalence of food-borne illnesses, including those brought on by Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, among others, the market for food safety testing in North America is expanding. In 2020, the US was the market leader for food safety testing in North America. Salmonella is a significant virus causing food-borne infections throughout the nation, according to the CDC. Eggs, food, and cut fruit that have been tainted can spread the infection. Similar to that, consuming contaminated ground beef, vegetables, milk, and apple juice results in E. coli cases.
As concerns about food safety spread throughout Europe, the issue has become a major one in the area. As a result, a number of rules have been put in place to protect the people. European control laboratories, state reference labs, and EU reference labs all keep an eye on the continent's food safety regulations. By guaranteeing food quality across the supply chain, such authorities are committed to preserving consumer health. Risks related to food contamination are evaluated and communicated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). To assure the quality of the goods, the food trade in Russia is also subject to safety norms and regulations.
Major PlayersADPEN Laboratories Inc. (US), Microbac Laboratories, Inc. (US), TÜV SÜD (Germany), Eurofins Scientific (Luxembourg), AsureQuality Ltd. (New Zealand), Bureau Veritas (US), Intertek Group plc (UK), ALS Limited (Australia), Neogen Corporation (US), and SGS SA are notable participants in the global food safety testing market (Switzerland).
COVID 19 ImpactsThe COVID-19 pandemic has a big impact on this market since it has changed consumers' lifestyles and raised the risk of coronavirus spreading because everything now comes from the outside. When a result, as consumers become more concerned about the security and safety of the food goods, the food and supply chain industries are impacted. As a result, the market for food testing and evaluation improves the market value to provide customers with safe and wholesome food items. On the other hand, the inadequate infrastructure and resources for food regulation in emerging economies are expected to restrain the market's expansion.
