The size of the worldwide market for food safety testing was estimated at $18.7 billion in 2021 and is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% to $37.5 billion by 2031.
The global food safety testing market size was valued at >USD 18 Billion in 2019. Evaluation of harmful food products, hazardous substances, and organisms causes diseases are expected to increase need for food safety testing services over the coming years. Food safety testing helps companies control allergic components and pathogenic bacteria in food products for consumers. Improved instrumental techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, feed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and nuclear magnetic resonance are further expected to increase market concentration of food safety testing industry.
Rising prevalence of foodborne diseases, the increase in chemical pollution in food processing industries and the growing demand for food packaging and convenience products in developed and developing economies are expected to open new opportunities for food safety testing manufacturers in coming years. However, improper implementation of food safety regulations coupled with lack of food control infrastructure are expected to be the key challenges for food safety testing industry over the forecast period.

Globalization has had a noteworthy effect on the worldwide food production and supply over the past few years and has boosted global food trade and agricultural commodities. Owing to instances of microorganisms, exposure to pollutants, cross-contamination, and other contaminants, increased the likelihood of unhealthy food reaching customers on distant market. As a result of this rise in trade in food supply and unproductive supply chains, food spoilage becomes a major concern. Globalization has also led to a greater participation of representatives of the food chain such as manufacturers, dealers, wholesalers, retailers, owners, and customers.
Rising consumer awareness regarding food safety plays important role in this industry. Implementing different food quality and safety processes on food products through different modes such as nutritional statistics, different product claims, and labelling is further expected to increase demand for food safety testing procedures over the forecast period. Availability of food related issues information such as physiological reactions due to unhealthy food, allergens, processed food, contaminants, and stored food on different social media platforms is expected to encourage manufacturers to implement food safety testing.
Test Segment
In terms of the test, the market is segmented into allergen, chemical & nutritional, genetically modified organism, microbiological, residues & contamination, and others. In 2019, microbiological accumulated the major market share and it is expected to do so over the forecast years. Helps to identify different microorganisms present in food products is expected to increase its market concentration over the coming years. Genetically modified organism is expected to be the fastest growing food safety test over the forecast period by virtue of ability to identification of nutritional and safety content in food products.
End User Segment
In terms of the end user, the market is segmented into Meat, Poultry, & Seafood Products, Dairy & Dairy Products, Processed Food, Beverages, Cereals & Grains, and Others. Meat, Poultry, & Seafood Products accounted for more than 30% of the overall market share in 2019 and is expected to continue its dominancy over the coming years. Rising consumption of seafood and meat products in developed as well developing economies is expected to increase demand for food safety testing services on these products.
The Europe region dominated the overall market in 2019 and it is projected to keep its position during the forecast years 2018-2028. The market growth in this region is mostly ascribed to increasing beverages consumption in Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, and Russia over the past few years. Additionally, rising prevalence of food related diseases coupled with stringent government regulations on food safety are expected to increase demand for food safety testing.
