Latin America Molecular Methods Market For Food Safety Testing Growth & Trends
The Latin America molecular methods market for food safety testing size is expected to reach USD 191.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.8% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth of the market is attributed to improvement in safety regulations of edibles, the introduction of automation in food testing protocols, the growing burden of food-borne illness, and a rise in demand for ultra-processed, packaged, and organic food products.
The government authorities are continuously strengthening their surveillance and detection methods to monitor the supply chain of edibles. This minimizes the contamination risks and increases the demand for food safety testing solutions, which, in turn, drives the market. Several agencies, laws and regulations; such as Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards, Regulation and Control of Food, and others; are present to regulate the food safety testing industry as well as govern the interstate and international food trade.
Many countries in the Latin America region are also undertaking efforts to align their regulatory framework with the requirement of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, and Technical Barriers to Trade agreements. In addition, these nations are actively seeking to facilitate mechanisms, such as the use of equivalence agreements for sanitary registration.
Moreover, universities and institutes, such as the National University of San Marcos, provide courses and training on food microbiology, hygiene, and safety of edibles. These factors are anticipated to build the capacity pertaining to safety of edibles and risk analysis and consequently strengthen the laboratory networks in Latin America.
