The growing concerns pertaining to the consumption of contaminated food and the subsequent repercussions in the form of foodborne diseases is creating a dire need for instilling some stringent regulations in the food & beverages (F&B) industry which is making food testing an imperative process, and this, in turn, is expanding the global food testing market size. The growth of the food testing market is evident in the increasing requirement for Fehling’s test, nutritional analysis, immunoassay, and other tests that are executed before the food products are ready for consumption. The food testing market demand is further bolstered by the worldwide rise of the processed food industry coupled with the increasing inclination of consumers and brands for clean labels which makes it imperative for food manufacturers to get their products certified for the use of safe ingredients for consumption.

Additionally, the fruits and vegetables are also susceptible to spoilage and leading to foodborne diseases because of which there is a growing need for the testing of the same. With a significant fraction of population inclining towards veganism and vegetarianism, the requirement for food testing is growing, and it is further leading to an expansion of the food testing market size which was evaluated at $16.8 billion as of 2018. The end-user segments such as dairy, meat & poultry, seafood, and beverages market with experience growth which will lead to an increase in the food testing market size at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period 2019-2025.

The contemporary regime of the F&B industry is demanding better and precision-oriented food testing methods and players are striving for innovations to increase their food testing market share. For instance, in September 2019, Biosciences Inc. and BNO Holdings Inc. developed breakthrough testing methods to detect cannabinoids in water solutions to meet food and safety standards. In the last 5 years, 4025 patents were registered for food testing which evinces the on-going research & development in the food testing market, and the upcoming years anticipate more innovations by players.

Europe Dominated with the Maximum Food Testing Market Share of 35% in the Global Revenues in 2018:

With an extravagant culinary culture and the presence of food safety bodies such as European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the Europe food testing market size was found to be bigger than that of other regions in the world during 2018.

Apart from that, the growth of the end-user industries in European countries is creating some substantial scope for the players to increase their food testing market shares. Additionally, in Europe, 24.879% of the land is arable which makes up for humongous cultivation of grains. Subsequently, there is a need for testing in the grain-producing countries of Europe which further augments the Europe food testing market size.

Europe was the leading exporter and importer of food products. The exports and imports of food were evaluated at $382 billion and $378 billion respectively during FY2016. The value only increased in the next two years to create lucrative prospects for the food testing market.
