Global Food Safety Testing Market: Growing Consumer Awareness Driving Demand, says TMR

According to the findings of a recent intelligence study by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global food safety testing market is highly fragmented between a large numbers of small- and medium-sized vendors. The report has detected that in 2016, the top five companies reserved merely 20% of the overall market and the consolidation of any company is quite unlikely in the near future. That being said, the companies operating in the global food safety products market will gain new opportunities by providing premium services in the potential market of emerging companies.

As per the estimations provided the by the TMR report, the demand in the global food safety market will increment at a robust CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025, reaching a valuation of US$1.3 bn by the end of 2025, significantly up from its evaluated worth of merely US$658.5 mn in 2017. The prominent vendors in the food safety market are expected to emphasize on gaining consumer attention by keeping close watch on the rapidly changing testing patterns, improving their products at the same time in order to provide accurate tests. Establishing a brand name is also expected to help these vendors to sustain their consumer base. The report identifies Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc, Intertek Group Plc, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Eurofins Scientific SE, and SGS SA as some of the key companies currently operating in the global food safety testing market.

Genetically Modified Organisms Segment Projected for Robust Growth Rate

Based on contaminants, the TMR report segments the global food safety testing market into pathogens, genetically modified organisms, and chemicals and toxins. The pathogens segment has been sub-segmented into bacteria, fungus, and viruses, and currently is most profitable, accounting for 42.5% of the demand in the overall market in 2017. The prosperity of this segment is primarily attributed to the escalating requirement for testing bacteria such as E.coli and salmonella, which has been found out to be at the backbone of a number of food contamination-related illnesses. On the other hand, genetically modified organisms segment is also projected to gain added demand at a strong CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. This shift will be a reflection of growing awareness regarding genetically modified fruits and vegetables, which face strict regulatory policies.

The major contaminants that can be tested for ensuring food safety are pathogens, chemicals, genetically modified organisms, and toxins. The rising consumption of thermally processes food in developed nations and robust governmental regulations in inspection and monitoring of processed food, such as meat, are expected to bolster the adoption of food safety testing for pathogens. The rising demand for testing food products for the presence of bacteria such as salmonella and E.coli is expected to expand the opportunities in the market in the coming years. In addition, the increasing number of food borne illnesses has further triggered governments in various nations to implement systems for testing pathogens. This segment is projected to account for a substantial market share of 42.5% in 2017.

ALS Global, a globally prominent analytical testing services provider, announced in June 2017 that it has acquired Wisconsin-based Marshfield Food Safety and the valuation of the deal amounted to US$20 million. The Australian company believes that this will help ALS to consolidate its presence in the U.S. food safety testing market. The U.S.-based company specializes in nutrition-based testing and offer testing of food products against salmonella. The acquisition is considered vital for both companies as this will expand opportunities for numerous clients in analytical testing and inspection services for food safety.


Which geographic regions are anticipated to provide exciting growth avenues for market players?

The major regional markets are North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). Of these, Europe is the leading market for food safety testing and is expected to contribute the major revenue of about 36.3% by the end of 2017. North America is a prominent market, and combined with Europe, its accounts for a whopping market share at present. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific is expected to rise at an impressive CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. The substantial growth of this regional market is propelled by massive spending in research and development of food testing technologies and substantial growth of food trade. The stellar demand for food safety testing in various emerging markets of Asia Pacific is further propelled by recent government support to adopt these technologies in various food services premises.

The rising increasing awareness about foodborne diseases and various technologically advanced techniques and equipment deployed for food safety testing is also boosting the market. The vast rise in the population of individuals that are highly susceptible to food contaminations, including children aged five years and below, geriatrics, and people suffering from chronic disease such as diabetes, cancer, and AIDS, is also contributing to the overall development of the global good safety testing market. “According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), over 600 million people globally across the globe suffered from foodborne diseases or food contamination in 2010,” notes the lead author of the report.

Lack of Uniform Regulatory Guidelines to Hamper Growth Prospects

Despite having excellent growth opportunities, certain factors could hamper the growth of the global food safety testing market over the forecast period. These include the lack of uniformity in global regulatory guidelines and the lack of adequate infrastructure and testing laboratories in developing countries. Different regions have different guidelines for trading of consumer goods including food and feed, agricultural products, and other products. This is expected to adversely affect the growth of the global food safety testing market. Also, owing to the allocation of low budget and resources to food testing laboratories in developing countries, upgrades to food testing equipment and software are not easily achieved. This factor could also hamper the growth of the global food safety testing market to a certain extent.
