Food Safety Testing Market by Food Tested (Meat & Poultry, Dairy, Processed Foods, and Fruits & Vegetables), Target Tested (Pathogens, Pesticides, GMOs, and Toxins), Technology (Traditional and Rapid), and Region - Global Forecast to 2022

[239 Pages Report]The food safety testing market was valued at USD 12.01 billion in 2016. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.60% from 2017, to reach 18.54 billion by 2022. The objectives of the study are to define, segment, and project the size of the food safety testing market with respect to food tested, target tested, technology, and region. Incidences of foodborne illnesses occur primarily due to pathogens, such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, and Listeria. Therefore, the global increase in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses is a major driver for this market.

EU directives have been imposing legislative pressures on food safety issues and have been driving the food safety testing market. There are more than 1,400 known pesticides; however, few are permitted and used in agricultural practices under controlled limits. The rise in outbreaks of chemical contamination in food processing and manufacturing industries have also been driving this market.

This report includes estimations of the market size in terms of value (USD million). Both, top-down and bottom-up approaches were used to estimate and validate the size of the global food safety testing market and to estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets in the overall market. Key players in the market were identified through secondary research; some of the sources are press releases, annual reports, and financial journals, and paid databases. All percentage share splits, and breakdowns were determined using secondary sources and verified through primary sources. The figure below shows the breakdown of profiles of industry experts that participated in the primary discussions.

The food safety testing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.60% from 2017, to reach a projected value of USD 18.54 billion by 2022. The growth of this market can be attributed to the rise in foodborne outbreaks, advancements in testing technologies, globalization of food supply, and stringent international food safety regulations.

The rapid segment accounted for a larger market share in 2016. The time required for food safety testing solutions is crucial for ensuring the quality of the products. This segment is mainly driven by its multifunctional properties and turn-around time. Rapid technologies have multiple applications in the food industry and is used to check the pathogen count, type, and metabolites of microorganisms with respect to food spoilage, preservation, fermentation, safety, and foodborne pathogens. Rapid technologies offer enhanced functionality that enables easy-to-use, efficient, and quick results and ensures smooth and efficient testing solutions in the food industry.

North America accounted for the largest market share in 2016, due to the increase in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and stringent regulations pertaining to food safety. Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market from 2017 to 2022, due to its large market base for food and beverages, improved standards of living due to the rise in income levels, and increased awareness about food safety in the region.

Developed countries are mainly investing in advanced technologies for food safety testing, whereas developing countries are witnessing a slow adoption of the latest technologies. The lack of food control infrastructure & resources in developing countries and low awareness of food safety regulations among food manufacturers limit the use of food safety testing solutions in the food industry. However, the market is projected to underscore lucrative opportunities in Asian countries such as China. For instance, in Hong Kong, the progressive setting of legislative standards for harmful substances in food additives, pesticide residues, and veterinary drug residues encourages and contributes toward promoting food safety testing. In India, governing authorities have made it necessary for the industries and policymakers to remain competitive in both, domestic and international markets by adopting strong practices of food safety testing.

The market is dominated by key players such as SGS SA (Switzerland), Eurofins Scientific (Luxembourg), Intertek Group plc (UK), Bureau Veritas SA (France), and ALS Limited (Australia). Other players include Mérieux NutriSciences (US), TÜV SÜD (Germany), TÜV Nord Group (Germany), AsureQuality Ltd (New Zealand), Microbac Laboratories, Inc. (US), Genetic ID NA, Inc. (US), and Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings (US). The key players have adopted strategic developments, such as new service launches, mergers & acquisitions, expansions, investments, collaborations, partnerships, and agreements to explore the market in new regions.
