Food Pathogen Safety Testing Equipment and Supplies Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Type, Food Product, Site and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Food Pathogen Safety Testing Equipment and Supplies Market is accounted for $7.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $13.1 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. Food pathogen safety testing equipment and supplies encompass a range of tools and materials utilized in the detection and analysis of harmful microorganisms present in food products. These include systems such as PCR and ELISA, microbial culture media, and test kits for rapid and traditional assays. These equipment and supplies are crucial for ensuring food safety, compliance with regulations, and safeguarding public health against foodborne illnesses.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), unsafe food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances causes more than 200 diseases. WHO works with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and other international organizations to promote food safety along the entire food chain and reduce the global burden of foodborne diseases, driving the need for advanced food pathogen testing solutions.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Stringent food safety regulations

Stringent food safety regulations imposed by governments worldwide are a key driver for the food pathogen safety testing market. These regulations mandate rigorous testing and monitoring of food products to ensure they are free from harmful pathogens. As regulatory requirements become more stringent, food manufacturers and processors are compelled to invest in advanced testing equipment and supplies to comply with these standards, driving market growth.

Restraint:

Limited awareness and infrastructure

Limited awareness about food safety and inadequate infrastructure in developing countries can restrain the growth of the food pathogen safety testing market. Many developing nations lack proper testing facilities, trained personnel, and regulatory enforcement, which hinders the adoption of advanced testing solutions. Insufficient awareness among food producers and consumers about the importance of pathogen testing also limits market growth in these regions.

Opportunity:

Increasing food production and consumption

The increasing global population and rising demand for food present a significant opportunity for the food pathogen safety testing market. As food production and consumption grow, the need for effective pathogen testing solutions becomes more critical to ensure food safety. The expanding food industry, particularly in emerging economies, offers lucrative growth opportunities for testing equipment and supplies manufacturers.

Threat:

Lack of skilled personnel

A shortage of skilled personnel poses a threat to the food pathogen safety testing market. Operating advanced testing equipment and interpreting results require specialized skills and knowledge. The lack of trained professionals can lead to inaccurate testing, misinterpretation of results, and compromised food safety. Addressing this skill gap through training and education initiatives is crucial for the market's growth.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened concerns about food safety and hygiene, leading to increased demand for pathogen testing solutions. However, disruptions in supply chains and temporary closures of food processing facilities have challenged the market. Post-pandemic, the focus on food safety is expected to intensify, driving long-term growth in the pathogen testing market.

The meat and poultry products segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The meat and poultry products segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period due to the high risk of pathogen contamination in these products. Meat and poultry are prone to contamination during slaughtering, processing, and handling, necessitating stringent testing measures. The segment's large market share is attributed to the substantial volume of meat and poultry products consumed globally and the strict regulations governing their safety.

The on-site testing facilities segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The on-site testing facilities segment is anticipated to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period. On-site testing allows for quick and efficient pathogen detection, enabling food manufacturers to take immediate corrective action. The growing preference for rapid, on-site testing solutions drives the segment's high growth rate. Technological advancements in portable testing devices and the need for real-time results contribute to the segment's rapid expansion.

Region with largest share:

The Europe region is positioned to dominate the food pathogen safety testing equipment and supplies market due to its stringent food safety regulations advanced testing infrastructure, and high consumer awareness. Europe has a well-established regulatory framework, such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which enforces strict standards for food pathogen testing. The region's large food industry and emphasis on food safety contribute to its dominant market position.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region anticipates rapid growth in the food pathogen safety testing equipment and supplies market, driven by factors such as increasing population, rising food demand, and growing consumer awareness about food safety. Countries like China, India, and Japan are witnessing significant growth in their food industries, leading to a higher demand for pathogen testing solutions. Government initiatives to strengthen food safety regulations and infrastructure development in the region further fuel market growth.
