The Central & South America food safety testing market size is expected to reach USD 2,050.7 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing food safety concerns due to consumer preference for processed and packaged eatables are expected to contribute to the market growth in the region. Moreover, rising demand for exotic vegetables and fruits, premium coffee, and imported products continue to contribute to safety concerns. This is projected to augment the market growth.
Changing lifestyle and increased per capita income have resulted in high demand for packaged and ready-to-eat products, which is also likely to boost market growth. Manufacturers are taking increasing efforts to ensure food safety owing to economic losses caused by foodborne diseases. Foodborne disease outbreak is a major cause of diarrheal diseases and poses a significant threat in the majority of the Central & South American countries. Such diseases cause severe and long-lasting damages including ulceration, meningitis, chronic diseases affecting articular and respiratory system. This is expected to have a positive impact on the market expansion. In addition, rising awareness levels among consumers regarding safety will also contribute to the market development in the years to come.
Furthermore, regional governments have launched initiatives, such as Good Farming Practice (GFP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure safety. Safety testing service providers have their own laboratories that offer various services including microbiological, allergen, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), nutritional analysis, and residue and contamination testing. In addition, vegetables and fruits producers perform routine tests by using test kits to check their products for any contamination. Meat, poultry, and seafood is the largest application segment, followed by processed eatables. Increased exports of cocoa from tropical countries and quinoa from Bolivia is estimated to boost the market growth.
