Globally the quality and supply of food are under continuous threat and is driving the demand for effective test products that ensure food safety. The inspection of food products for disease causing organisms is refers to as food safety testing. Growing incidences of food borne illnesses and poisoning by contaminated food products the practice of food safety testing has gained extensively over the past year. Increasing out-of-the pocket expenses on healthcare by commoners and rising healthcare cost have pushed the regulatory authorities and governments to set a robust safety policy. Traditional and rapid technologies are the segments of food safety testing technology. Contaminant segment of food safety market includes toxins, pathogens, GMOs, pesticides and others. The fruit& vegetables, meat &poultry, dairy, processed foods and others are the applications of this market. The execution of strict regulations by many leading food safety organizations, such as Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, European Food Safety Authority, Food Standards Agency and Canadian Food Inspection Agency prevents food fraud and any food health illness to consumers is estimated to drive the growth of the global food safety testing market.  Microbiological testing is the restraining factors for the market which often requires long time to get results. In developing countries lack of food control infrastructure, lack of harmonization of regulation and complexity in testing technology are estimated to affect the growth of global food testing market.

Food Safety Testing Outlook

Availability of advance rapid testing have eased the testing market has estimated to drive the current global market. Increase in demand for convenience and packaged food products have increased the growth of food testing market globally. For any food-based industry consumer choice is key factor, as the health concerns and consumer’s safety always drive the food market. Other nonprofit government organizations and other consumer organizations are the driving force behind the food safety market. The major manufactures in food safety testing are now focusing on research and development in order to bring safe food to users. The legislative pressures by the European directives on food safety have been driving the food safety testing market.

Food Safety Testing Market Segmental Overview

The global food safety testing market is segmented by technology, contaminants, application and geography.

Food Safety Testing Market by Technology

Based on technology, the global food safety testing market is segmented into traditional technologies and repaid technology. One of the traditional processes to test pathogens is agar culturing. However, immunoassay-based methods and PCR-based assay are currently accepted more than traditional methods, traditional methods are not suitable for all food products have discovered by ongoing developments. Currently microbiological testing as increased demand for food products. To identify and restrict growth of harmful microorganisms which may lead to spoilage of foods is the purpose of a microbiological testing and thus, ensure safety from foodborne diseases. 

Food Safety Testing Market by Contaminants

Based on contaminants the global food safety testing market is segmented into Pathogens, Toxins, GMOs and Pesticides. There is the constant threat of contaminations in the global food supply. The microbial such as viruses, bacteria, toxins and others are hazardous to health if consumed unchecked. The pathogen testing dominates the food safety testing market globally with testing of various microorganism in the food. Pathogens are harmful microorganisms that reason trigger genuine medical problems and weakening of food quality. Recent concerns about microbial contaminants, such as E. coli and Salmonella, have driven the pathogen safety testing market.

Food Safety Testing Market by Application

Based on applications the global food safety testing market is segmented into Meat & poultry, Dairy, Process food, Fruit & vegetables and others. The processed food and the meat & poultry product segments are the most dominating segments in the market. There is the high use to various types of artificial ingredients to increase the shelf life, as meat & poultry products are highly prone to microbial or bacterial growth. This increases the food testing market at a high demand to detect harmful pathogens, toxins etc.

Food Safety Testing Market by Geography

By region the global food safety testing market is segmented into across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and LAMEA. North America accounted for the largest market share in the market globally, due to increasing outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and strict regulations relating to food safety. The Asia-pacific region have been established to take serious steps toward ensuring food safety, however are one of the most potential markets for the food testing industry due to increase awareness of healthy food products.
