With rapid urbanization, surging consumer income, and mounting purchasing power, the value of convenience and cleanliness has increased, resulting in an upsurge in the global consumption of processed foods. Moreover, changing demographics, along with a gradual shift in dietary habits, are expected to support the food safety testing industry's growth. Furthermore, rising concerns about product quality and recalls have compelled businesses to employ food safety testing methods. The increasing consumer awareness about food safety is forecast to significantly impact business expansion.
 

Lack of supportive infrastructure to restrain market growth

The absence of basic supporting infrastructure and upgraded testing methods for establishing testing labs in many developing nations, particularly in Ethiopia, Cuba, and Bangladesh, is a key impediment to the expansion of the food safety testing business. Many developing countries have food safety testing systems that are highly fragmented, with small producers dominating due to socioeconomic benefits. However, prominent government policies focused on regulating food quality standards are speculated to allow producers to overcome this restraint.

Based on technology, industry is divided into traditional technology and rapid technology. Rapid technology segment is set to grow at over 7% CAGR through 2032. Rapid technologies, such as PCR, immunoassay, and convenience-based techniques, produce results in less than 48 hours, which lowers the likelihood of contamination in products scheduled for testing. The growing need for pathogen detection through rapid testing methodologies will allow interferences and corrective actions to be performed in advance.
 

Rising need for food safety to propel processed food segment share

Food safety testing market share from the processed food segment is expected to be valued at more than USD 9.5 billion by 2032. Food safety is a critical concern for producers since contaminants can appear at any stage of production or supply. However, food contamination is more likely to occur when food supervisors and customers are unaware of the need to follow basic sanitary procedures while manufacturing, selling, and purchasing food, which is increasing the need for food safety testing solutions in the expanding processed food industry.
 

Booming trade sector to promote APAC market development

Asia Pacific food safety testing market is expected to grow at over 7.5% CAGR between 2023 and 2032. Food product testing before import and export is a major concern worldwide in order to meet quality standards. The APAC region is estimated to expand substantially throughout the review period owing to the growth of trade across APAC countries, which has augmented the need for food safety and high shelf-life foods that can last over extended periods of time and long distances.
 

Strategic acquisitions to define the competitive landscape of the industry

Eurofins Central Analytical Laboratories, Inc, Intertek Group PLC, Adpen Laboratories, ALS Limited, Avomeen, AsureQuality Limited, Bureau Veritas SA, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Institut Für Produktqualität (IFP)GmbH, Genon Laboratories Ltd, Idexx Laboratories, Inc, Campden BRI, Food Hygiene & Health Laboratory, EMSL Analytical, Romer Labs, Inc., NSF International, Exova, and SGS AG, Det Norske Veritas AS (DNV) are some of the major corporations operating in the food safety testing industry.
 

Impact of COVID-19 on the food safety testing market trends

Although COVID-19 had adversely influenced the food & beverage business, the adoption of technical solutions to safeguard food safety proved to be an efficient crisis-relief method. The pandemic increased customer demands and concerns regarding food safety and shifted the burden onto food safety testing facilities, which has positively amplified market revenue. As the pandemic progressed, the challenges faced by food testing facilities increased. However, the introduction of alternative rapid technologies and solutions for food testing is foreseen to complement industry development in the future.
