FOOD SAFETY TESTING MARKET: GROWTH AND TRENDS
The rising prevalence of food adulteration and outbreaks of foodborne illnesses around the globe highlights the necessity of food safety testing. An outbreak of foodborne disease refers to the occurrence of two or more cases of similar illnesses linked to the consumption of a shared food item. Therefore, food safety or hygiene testing is crucial in the food and beverage sector, as it examines food products to ensure they are safe to eat and meet regulatory standards. According to a report by WHO, approximately 600 million individuals worldwide fall ill each year due to the consumption of contaminated food.
As a result, the food safety testing market is rapidly expanding, with numerous regulatory organizations, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), USDA, and EFSA, along with various regional authorities, enforcing thorough testing protocols for food products to prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure safety for individuals and communities. The importance of food safety lies in its role in verifying the cleanliness and safety of food by detecting and identifying harmful contaminants, toxins, and other substances that pose health risks.
Moreover, to combat the widespread problem of food adulteration, regulatory agencies have established several standards, leading to the food safety testing market developing specific target tests for pathogens, GMOs, allergens, chemicals, pesticides, physical contaminants, nutritional labeling, and more. These assessments assist in detecting chemical pollutants, including pesticides, heavy metals (like lead and mercury), drug residues, and potentially harmful food additives. Additionally, meat, poultry, and seafood products are particularly significant in food safety testing due to their increased risk of contamination.
Taking these aspects into account, industry players are utilizing technological innovations and data analysis to improve their processes through automation and robotics, enhancing testing methods that minimize human error and boost efficiency by effectively managing large volumes of samples. Owing to the escalating incidence of foodborne illnesses, ongoing food adulteration scandals, and advancing technologies, the food safety testing market is expected to increase during the forecast period.
FOOD SAFETY TESTING MARKET: KEY SEGMENTS
Market Share by Type of Target Tested
Based on type of target tested, the global food safety testing market is segmented into allergens (eggs, fish, gluten, lactose, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, wheat, and chemical), chemicals, nutritional labeling testing, pathogen (bacteria, virus, parasite), residues and contamination testing (chemicals, GMOs, heavy metals, mycotoxins, pesticides, other contaminants), shelf life testing (freshness testing), spoilage detection (quality control). According to our estimates, currently, pathogens segment captures the majority share of the market. This can be attributed to the increasing occurrences of flu stemming from animal bacteria and viruses that lead to foodborne illnesses.
However, the GMOs segment is expected to grow at a relatively higher CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising consumer awareness of GMOs, prompting a greater demand for transparent labeling and non-GMO product offerings.
Market Share by Type of Food Test
Based on type of food test, the food safety testing market is segmented into food safety testing, food authenticity testing, and food shelf life testing. According to our estimates, currently, food safety test segment captures the majority of the market. This can be attributed to the critical role of food safety testing in safeguarding public health against contaminated food that can lead to illness or outbreaks.
Additionally, the rise of globalization has made food safety testing mandatory due to stringent regulations worldwide. As a result, businesses are implementing food testing services to comply with these requirements and avoid penalties, fines, and potential damage to their reputation.
Market Share by Type of Food Tested
Based on type of food tested, the food safety testing market is segmented into alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages (beer, juice, soft drink, spirit, wine, other beverages), bakery & confectionery (bread, cake, candy, cookie, pastry, others), dairy products (butter, cheese, ice cream, milk, yogurt, and other dairy products) fresh food (fruits, herbs, vegetables, and other fresh produce), functional food (minerals, probiotics, supplements, vitamins, and other functional foods), infant food (formula, baby food, other infant food), meat & poultry (beef, chicken, lamb, pork, turkey, and others), processed & packaged food (beverages, canned goods, dried goods, frozen foods, snacks, and others), sea food (crustaceans, fish, shellfish, and other seafood).
According to our estimates, currently, seafood segment captures the majority share of the market. This can be attributed to the rapid expansion of the construction industry globally. This growth can be attributed to the significant risk of contamination, stringent regulatory requirements, frequent outbreaks, and consumer safety apprehensions related to meat products. Moreover, the increasing demand for meat and seafood in coastal regions further propels the expansion of this segment and boosts overall market growth.

According to our estimates, currently, rapid testing segment captures the majority of the market. This can be attributed to the benefits of PCR-based assays, such as elevated sensitivity and specificity, quick results, scalability, regulatory approval, and cost-effectiveness. However, next-generation sequencing (NGS) segment is expected to grow at a relatively higher CAGR during the forecast period, owing to its extensive analysis capabilities, high throughput, and improved sensitivity and specificity.
Market Share by Type of Application
Based on type of application, the food safety testing market is segmented into export, import, manufacturing (finished product, production line, and raw material testing) processing, (food safety management, quality assurance, and quality control), retail (food safety management, quality assurance, and quality control), service (catering testing, food safety management, and restaurant testing) and other applications.
According to our estimates, currently, manufacturing segment captures the majority of the market, owing to the essential role of food safety testing in the food production industry. For instance, assessing the safety and quality of raw materials prior to their use in the manufacturing process, as well as conducting quality tests on the final product in accordance with regulatory standards before it reaches consumers, highlights the importance of food safety testing within the manufacturing field. As a result, this segment is projected to maintain its leading position in the market during the forecast period.
Market Share by Type of Testing
Based on type of testing, the food safety testing market is segmented into systems, test kits, and consumables. According to our estimates, currently, testing kits captures the majority of the market. This can be attributed to their user-friendliness, quick results, portability, and affordability. Additionally, the adaptability, compliance with regulations, technological innovations, and usefulness in monitoring the supply chain are key features that render test kits essential tools for ensuring food safety across various sectors of the food and beverage industry.
Market Share by Company Size
Based on company size, the food safety testing market is segmented into small, medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. According to our estimates, currently, large multinational companies captures the majority of the market, due to their worldwide reach and wide array of food safety testing products and services. These major players hold the largest share of the market in terms of revenue. Their extensive range of products and significant research and development capabilities position them well to drive the growth of the food safety testing market.
