The DNA-based segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period
Based on testing technologies, the food safety testing market is segmented into DNA-based, immunoassay-based, and chromatography- & spectroscopy-based. The DNA-based segment is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. DNA-based technology is a rapid testing technology used for the testing of GMOs in food products. It is a very advanced technology and provides accurate results in less duration of time as compared to other technologies, and therefore makes it ideal for testing of food products.
The pathogen segment to hold the majority share in the food safety testing market during the forecast period
Based on the targets tested, the food safety testing industry is segmented into pathogens, GMA, allergens, and mycotoxin. The pathogen segment is estimated to account for the larger share for the food safety testing market, as these are highly contagious agents liable for food contamination, resulting in a host of diseases. Moreover, new emerging foodborne pathogens and foodborne diseases are likely to be driven by factors such as pathogen evolution, changes in agricultural & food manufacturing practices, and changes in human host status.
Asia Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period
The Asia Pacific food safety testing market is expected to have higher growth potential as compared to other regions in the coming years, due to the outbreak of COVID-19. A large consumer market and increasing disposable income in India and China are driving the demand for high-quality, safe food products. Also, the growth of the market in this region is driven by various rules & regulations implemented in different countries, specifically post-COVID. Food security standards are increasingly becoming stringent to ensure a safer supply of food to individuals in local and foreign countries. Governments have put various regulations in place for consumers, producers, and regulators
