Food Safety Testing Market Analysis

The global food safety testing market is being driven by the rising concerns about food safety and increasing calls for food safety accountability. According to the World Health Organisation, unsafe food can cause over 200 diseases, which can range from diarrhoea to cancers. As per food safety testing market report, nearly 600 million people are affected by contaminated food each year, with almost 4,20,000 dying as a result of consuming contaminated food. While foodborne diseases are caused by pathogens like viruses, bacteria, and parasites, the intrusion of unwanted chemical substances in food and beverage products can also be responsible for foodborne diseases. Thus, multiple regulations and accreditations like FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), and Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000) are encouraging companies and retailers to adopt stringent food safety testing standards. With rising cases of food fraud, multiple regulations are being implemented across the world.

The food safety testing market share is expanding owing to the growing food and beverage industry globally. The rising middle-class population, busier lifestyles, and increasing disposable incomes are driving the growth of the processed and packaged food industries. With the rising consumption of processed and packaged food and beverages, the need for food safety testing has increased, thus, aiding the growth of the food safety testing market. While the testing of contaminants like salmonella is most common, the players in the market are also increasingly testing for the presence of allergens, and GMO ingredients as consumers are becoming more aware about food hygiene and safety. With the food supply chain becoming more expansive, regulations are being implemented to ensure food safety across the supply chain, thus, ensuring the growth of the market. Increasing technological innovations are also driving the market growth.

Regional Analysis

The North American food safety testing industry is one of the leading regional markets for food safety testing. The frequent cases of food poisoning and foodborne diseases in the region are supporting the market growth. Salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli, and listeria are the common pathogens that cause foodborne diseases. While salmonella can infect vegetables, chicken, eggs, beef, and pork, campylobacter is commonly spread through chicken. According to the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 48 million people in the United States are affected by food poisoning every year, with 128,000 of those affected requiring hospitalisations and 3,000 succumbing to foodborne diseases in the United States each year. Thus, with the rising frequency of food-related diseases in the region, consumers are increasingly demanding food safety accountability. The growing demand for greater food safety and the implementation of government regulations like the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) are aiding the growth of the market in the United States.

Europe is also a significant region in the food safety testing market. The European food safety testing market is being driven by the thriving food and beverage industry on the continent and the rising number of food regulations by various governments and the European Union. Germany, the United Kingdom, and France are major countries for food safety testing within Europe. The market is being driven by the rising demand for food safety accountability by consumers in the region due to multiple food related scandals. Major food and beverage companies and providers are also aiding the growth of the Europe food safety testing market as they seek to acquire multiple food safety accreditations to enhance their reputability and adhere to regional safety regulations.
