Market Overview:

The global food safety testing market size reached US$ 21.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 36.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7% during 2023-2028. The rising prevalence of foodborne illnesses among the masses, stringent government regulations requiring food manufacturers to comply with specific food safety standards, and considerable growth in the food and beverage industry represent some of the key factors driving the market.

The Rising Prevalence of Foodborne Illnesses Among the Masses is Augmenting the Market Growth

The escalating demand for processed and packaged foods among individuals due to the changing lifestyle patterns has resulted in a higher uptake of these products. Since these food products are often prone to contamination and can lead to foodborne illnesses, this has created a growing need for extensive food safety testing for ensuring that food products are free from harmful contaminants and pathogens. By detecting and eliminating potential hazards in food products, food safety testing plays a crucial role in preventing poor hygiene during food preparation and processing, reducing the spread of diseases and maintaining public health.

The volume of new entrants is moderate in the food safety testing industry due to the presence of a large number of players creating intense competition, high investment costs, and well established players.

What is Food Safety Testing?

Food testing refers to the process of analyzing food products for their chemical, physical, and microbiological properties, which encompasses various analytical techniques that guarantee food products are safe, nutritious, and of high quality. It is primarily used to detect harmful substances or pathogens present in food products, ensuring that they are safe for consumption, and ensuring that they meet regulatory and industry standards. Food testing ensures that food products are accurately labeled, including information about nutritional content, allergens, and country of origin. Food testing is used in research and development to develop new food products, improve existing ones, and evaluate new ingredients and technologies. As a result, food testing plays an instrumental role in maintaining consistent quality in food products, leading to improved taste, texture, and appearance.

COVID-19 Impact:

The global outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the food safety testing market. In compliance with directives from governments, many food safety testing activities had to suspend their manufacturing operations, leading to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and low stocks due to the nationwide lockdowns imposed. In addition, the major market players had to downscale operations and pause processes in some cases to limit the risk of transmission among employees due to social distancing and lockdown measures. However, the lockdown had a positive impact on the food safety testing sector in the long-term as the consumption frozen and fried food products among the masses grew. As a result, during the latter half of the pandemic, the market is facing numerous opportunities for expansion and is thereby expected to regain momentum.

Food Safety Testing Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by the rising stringency of food safety regulations implemented by governing agencies of several countries. This can be attributed to the rising prevalence of poor hygiene practices in food production processes. In line with this, the growing cases of food adulteration and contamination resulting in potential health hazards to consumers is resulting in a higher uptake of rigorous testing. The rising demand for convenience foods due to busy lifestyles and changing dietary habits of the masses leading to an increase in the number of food processing and manufacturing facilities is fueling the market demand. Additionally, continual technological advancements in food safety testing technologies, such as PCR-based methods, immunoassays, and biosensors, are creating lucrative opportunities in the market. Furthermore, extensive research and development (R&D), mergers and acquisitions (M&As), partnerships and collaborations among the major market players are contributing to the market growth. Some of the other factors propelling the market include rapid industrialization, emerging trend of organic food consumption, and the rising health awareness among the masses.
