Application Segment Analysis

The global food safety testing market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into dairy products, bakery & confectionary, processed & packages food, infant food, functional food, meat & poultry products, alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages, and seafood. Out of the eight applications of food safety testing, the meat & poultry segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising production of meat and poultry. Food safety testing is consequently essential for meat and poultry owing to their potential for harm if handled poorly, as raw meat, lab-grown meat, and eggs are referred to as high products. Over 86 million eggs were produced in 2021, and 87 million in 2021 across the globe. The volume of eggs produced globally has increased by more than 100% since 1990. In addition to this, according to the OECD-FAO Agricultural forecast the world's meat supply would increase and probably reach 374 Mt by 2030. Increased productivity per animal and extension of the herd and flock are projected to be the majority in the Americas and China.

Target Test Segment Analysis

The global food safety testing market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by target test into pathogens, allergens, residues & contaminants, GMO, chemical & nutritional, shelf life, and others. Amongst these seven segments, the pathogens segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. Food testing is mainly done to ensure any sort of pathogen attack on the food. Sometimes in contaminated food, pathogens are accidentally consumed along the food as it creates a toxin when sits for a longer period on a food. Moreover, the pathogen can also cause foodborne diseases in the human host. The segment growth is mainly expected on the account of foodborne illness causes by pathogens and its adverse effects on socio-economic conditions. The World Health Organization asserts that foodborne illnesses hinder socioeconomic growth by damaging international trade, tourism, and country economies. Moreover, it also put a strain on the healthcare system. In low- and middle-income nations, unhealthy food costs USD 110 billion annually in lost productivity and medical costs.
