The report offers a comprehensive study of the subsequent market segments and their leading categories.
Pathogens such as Salmonella, E. Coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and other pathogens will be expected to lead the Food Safety Testing Systems & Services Market Share during the forecast period. This is attributed to the testing of pathogens sits at the epicenter of preventing foodborne threats to public health. The upward trend of pathogenic outbreaks all over the world has driven the demand for long test processes, particularly in sensitive food industries like meat, poultry, and seafood.
Efficient testing technologies with high throughput will be the leading Technology segment due to their speed and precision. The technologies cut detection time by a great deal relative to conventional methods in order to facilitate quick responses to safety issues. Applications of technologies such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and biosensors have grown extensively because they can provide accurate results and also increase business efficiency for food companies.
Under the Food Tested category, meat, poultry, and seafood are likely to be the major segments as they are highly vulnerable to contamination. The food items contain a high propensity of harbouring contaminants such as Salmonella and Listeria, hence, their rigorous testing is required. A growing demand for meat globally, coupled with firm regulations, has rendered the demand for sophisticated testing systems aimed at this category more robust.
According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, North America will lead the market under the regional segment as it has a well-developed food safety infrastructure, coupled with a draconian regulatory environment. The region has witnessed top-line adoption of advanced food safety testing technology, fuelled by consumer consciousness and aggressive regulatory efforts by organizations such as the FDA. Also contributing a fillip is the high demand for processed foods and organics in the region, which drives food safety testing services.
