Safety Segment is Projected to Grow at the Highest Rate

During the forecast period the safety test segment is projected to rise at the highest CAGR. Sample food diagnosis is done as a pre-emptive measure to reduce the risk of contamination and enhance the product's nutritional consistency before it is sold. Rising global trade in food products and food safety regulations are driving the food diagnostics services market.

In addition, the increasing prevalence of foodborne disease, food adulteration and an increase in food allergens resulted in many incidences of food recall. This led to an increase in the number of food safety tests being conducted, which subsequently increased demand for food inspection systems and consumables.

Europe to Emerge as Leading Market for Food Diagnostics Services

Europe accounted for the largest share in the food diagnostics services market. In the past few years, European countries have witnessed several problems related to food safety. Strict measures were adopted as a result. Food safety policies have been implemented in Europe by Control Laboratories (CLs), National Reference Laboratories (NRLs), and EU Reference Laboratories (EURLs).

These authorities play an important role in ensuring the consistency of the food supply chain by upholding food security and preserving public safety. This will accelerate the expansion of Europe's food diagnostics services market.

Globalization and Growing Concern for Food Safety is Driving Growth

Expansion witnessed in the global market is largely due to the demand for improved food quality and increasing health issues. Stringent regulations imposed by governments to ensure foodborne disease prevention are expected to accelerate growth witnessed in the market. Increasing concerns pertaining to food safety will also fuel the demand for food diagnostic services. Rising food trade around the world will bolster growth opportunities in the coming years.

How Growth will Unfold

The increasing prevalence of foodborne disease worldwide and increasing knowledge about food safety are some of the mainkey factors expected to boost the global market for food diagnostics services. Moreover, stringent food safety and preservation regulations implemented around the world and the availability of a wide variety of testing technologies and methods are expected to drive market over the forecast period.

The difference in standardization and sample selection methods, on the other hand, may restrict the growth of the overall market. Nonetheless, the advent of cost-effective and faster technologyies and customer awareness regarding food security, health and quality are expected to enable growth in the market over the forecast period.
