Food Safety Testing Market

Food Safety Testing Market Rugged Expansion Foreseen by 2025
The food safety testing market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2018 to 2025, to reach USD
11.5 billion by 2025. The market is expected to exhibit potential growth in the coming years, due to the
recent outbreaks in foodborne diseases and strict regulations by various agencies.
The practice of food safety includes safe preparation of food in terms of handling, storage, and
preparation, in a manner that averts adulteration. According to a 2017 statistic published by The World
Health Organization has estimated that 1 out of 10 people suffer from diseases due to the consumption
of contaminated food. This outbreak of foodborne diseases claims 420,000 lives per year.
The testing for pathogens occupied the largest market share in 2017, in terms of value. Major pathogens
that are tested include Listeria, E. coli, Campylobacter, and Salmonella. The rise in incidence of these
foodborne pathogens drives the demand for testing.
The Centre for Disease Control has also
determined that one in six people fall ill due to the consumption of contaminated food. These incidents
have helped in raising consumer awareness towards the presence of contaminants and its preventive
measures. Rising consumer awareness towards the use of GMOs in foods and its public backlash has led
to an increase in GMO testing. Companies such as Genetic ID are solely focusing their efforts on
specialized GMO testing which is the fastest growing segment in food testing.
The testing procedures have witnessed a gradual increase in the use of rapid technology as against
traditional technology. Integration of cloud-based systems and databases help systems in cross-checking
results to provide better accuracy to the users. Manufacturers of rapid systems are investing in the
development of newer forms of diagnostic kits, which will help reduce turnaround times while also
increasing testing accuracy to suit the needs of the client.

achieve the fastest growth in the food testing market. Increasing presence of major players in the region
and investment in rapid technologies has helped in improving testing facilities in the region. Rising
export commitments to Europe and North America that have stringent regulations has led to additional
testing procedures being carried out in the Asia-Pacific region. Rising consumer awareness towards food
testing in the region is also expected to fuel demand during the forecast period.
