Innovations in Food Safety Testing Drives the Growth of Asia Pacific Food Safety Testing Kits Market
Regardless of the restraints posed by the complexity in techniques pertaining to food safety testing, food labs are increasingly developing new and improved testing methods that make the current methods of testing quicker and more affordable. The focus on drawbacks associated with several technologies, cost of testing, sample utilization, and reducing lead time has resulted in development of new technologies and technological innovation. Greater adoption of these technologies is an opportunity for small and medium-scale laboratories to compete with large market players in the industry and expand their service offerings. These technologies offer non-targeted screening with low turnaround time, multi-contaminant testing, better reliability, higher accuracy in results, and higher sensitivity. Technologies such as Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), inductively coupled plasma–mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The real time PCR tests give more reliable results since they are more sensitive and provide results within 5 to 12 hours. ICP-MS can produce high-quality data within a few minutes for elements with a wide range of atomic masses, usually helpful in detection of chemical residue or heavy metals in seafood. NIRS is a rapid testing technology that is used for quantitative determination of food constituents in most food items. NMR is spreading quickly in Asia-Pacific region, as the technique is used to examine textures without any physical incursion or marker compounds. The machinery required for NMR spectroscopy is expensive, however, the international players involved in food safety testing market are heavily investing in the technology to make it available in regions such as Asia-Pacific. Moreover, the ease in supply chain enables food manufacturers to get access to technology across the region by sending food samples to obtain accurate results. Thus, the innovations in food safety testing increases the new opportunity for Asia Pacific food safety testing kits market during the forecast period. Additionally, Foodborne diseases are preventable hence numerous organizations along with governments are leading coordinated action across multiple industries to build resilient and strong food safety systems. The involved parties are heavily investing to provide consumers with tools to make safe food choices. Thus, the emergence of foodborne illness drives the Asia Pacific food safety testing kits market growth during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific Food Safety Testing Kits Market Overview
Foodborne illnesses have become a major concern for health systems in the Asia-Pacific. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) published data in 2019 that suggested that nearly 275 million people fall sick annually in the Asia-Pacific region due to foodborne illnesses. Food safety concerns also have a negative impact on the food trade. The report also suggested that unsafe water and food kill more people each year than measles, malaria, and AIDS combined worldwide, and the issue requires utmost attention by all countries, especially ones in Asia-Pacific as the region has had a poor record in preventing foodborne illnesses. Moreover, there are numerous cases in the region where illnesses and deaths associated with consuming unsafe food could have been prevented. While food security is a major health issue, it also results in damage to livelihoods, lost productivity, and hinders the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger by 2030 set by the UN. The poor mishandling of food and hygiene is one of the main culprits in the region for contamination. Moreover, as the region is becoming a major hub of the food and beverages industry, witnessing aggressive growth for the Asia Pacific food safety testing kits market, food safety is expected to grow over the forecast period.
