Food sensitivity can cause discomfort and pain due to symptoms such as fatigue, bloating, nausea, gastrointestinal stress, headaches, migraine, and stomach pain. To avoid this, at-home food sensitivity tests can be done to check the sensitivity of a particular food. Food sensitivity tests were primarily conducted in clinical settings by healthcare professionals.
The increased cases of food sensitivity are driving the demand for at-home food allergy tests. The market for food sensitivity tests is expanding as a result of an increase in the incidence of foodborne illnesses, changes in the regulatory environment, and increased consumer awareness regarding food intolerance.
Allergies require a precise diagnosis and effective care. There has been a striking surge in demand for at-home food sensitivity tests due to increased awareness of food allergy and sensitivity testing due to the increased cases of food sensitivity globally. Thus, the global market is expected to register a CAGR rate value of 8.5% during the forecast period.

India held a 57.2% share in the South Asia market in 2022 and is projected to display growth at a lucrative CAGR rate of 7.3% during the forecast period.
India initially had a low incidence of food allergy, but with changing lifestyles, the Indian population has become more prone to food sensitivity and allergy. As a result, Indians have started using at-home food sensitivity tests to check possible food allergies, as these tests are more affordable than laboratory tests and can test for food sensitivity for several common foods.
The United States dominated the North American region with a total market share of about 80.9% in 2022 and is expected to continue to experience the same growth throughout the forecast period.

Over the past 20 years, there has been a rise in food allergies among the United States children, with black children experiencing the worst increase. Adults are most frequently allergic to shellfish, including peanuts and tree nuts. A growing food allergy is to sesame. All these factors contribute to the significant market share of this country in the regional market.
Germany is set to exhibit a growth rate of 6.2% in the European at-home food sensitivity test market during the forecast period.
