The global food safety testing market is projected to grow from $9,262.3 million in 2012 to $14,030.2 million by 2018. In 2012, North America dominated the food safety testing market. The regulatory bodies in North America have been strictly supervising the implementation of HACCP system by food manufacturers. The food safety concern among consumers has also been increasing due to the media influence. In 2012, U.S. food safety testing market was largest due to stringent regulations such as zero tolerance policy for listeria contamination. The testing results of contaminated final food products have been most expensive in terms of recall & storage cost, so testing the food materials during each stage has become necessary for manufacturers, thereby driving the food safety testing market.
The main cause of food poisoning or food-borne illness has been pathogens. In 2012, pathogen testing dominated the food safety testing market in which salmonella testing accounted for the major share. Food contamination by salmonella and major food recalls due to salmonella contamination has led the salmonella testing. Increasing food contamination and outbreak of shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) poisoning has resulted to increase in the frequency of E. coli testing in the global market. Food safety testing market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 7.2% by 2018. The rapid technology market to detect the presence of contaminants has been increasing owing to the fact that they are time & cost-effective as compared to traditional culturing and enrichment methods.
