Food safety testing market was estimated at USD 21.1 billion in 2022; it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% to reach USD 31.1 billion by 2027. The importance of food safety testing is rising as a result of growing public interest in food safety and quality issues, as well as the ability to broadcast these issues quickly via social media and the expansion of regulatory innovation, such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
Europe is projected to achieve the highest market share in the food safety testing market.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), in 2018, the EU member states reported 5,146 foodborne outbreaks, affecting 48,365 people. Salmonella outbreaks in countries such as Slovakia, Spain, and Poland, accounted for 67% of the total outbreaks. Therefore, these outbreaks were mainly caused due to the consumption of eggs. In Europe, food safety policies are emphasized on by Control Laboratories (CLs), National Reference Laboratories (NRLs), and EU Reference Laboratories (EURLs). These authorities aim at protecting consumers’ health by ensuring the quality of the food supply chain. A growing number of food-borne illnesses, food contamination, and consumer awareness of food quality and safety are driving the growth of the market for food safety testing in Europe.
