The rapid food pathogen testing market was valued at USD 2 Billion and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 7.5% during the forecast period (2022-2028). Rapid food pathogen testing is a technique used to quickly detect the presence of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites, in food samples. This type of testing is important for ensuring the safety of food products and preventing foodborne diseases. For instance, according to the WHO, children under the age of 5 are particularly vulnerable to foodborne diseases, accounting for almost one-third of all deaths related to foodborne illnesses.
There are several different methods of rapid food pathogen testing, including PCR-based techniques, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), and lateral flow assays. These methods typically involve amplifying the DNA or protein of the pathogen of interest and detecting it using a specific probe or antibody. Additionally, there are several benefits of rapid food pathogen testing including improved food safety & reducing the risk of illness, more cost-effective than traditional methods, increased efficiency, and enhanced quality control. The market for rapid food pathogen testing is projected to grow in both developed and developing economies because of factors including changing lifestyles and the rising popularity of quick-service restaurants, the rising demand for quality checks on both processed and unprocessed meats.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.; Merck KGaA; Thermo Fisher Scientific; 3M; Neogen Corporation; R-Biopharm AG; Romer Labs Division Holding GmbH; Eurofins Scientific; Hygiena, LLC; Charm Sciences Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst technology, the immunoassay-based category witnessed the fastest growth during the forecast period.”
Based on technology, the market is segmented into convenience-based, PCR- based, immunoassay based, and other molecular-based. Amongst these, the immunoassay-based category witnessed the fastest growth during the forecast period. This is the increasing use of immunoassay techniques in disease diagnostics is a result of the rise in the prevalence of chronic disorders such as cancer, infections, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus, and nephrological diseases. The prevalence of cancer is gradually rising, which is anticipated to increase the need for an efficient clinical diagnosis like immunoassay technique. For instance, according to the data published by the American Cancer Society (ACS), in January 2020, around 1.8 million new cancer cases were diagnosed and 606,520 cancer deaths in the United States.
“Amongst application, the dairy category is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.”
By application, the market is bifurcated into meat & poultry, fruits & vegetables, dairy, and others. Among these, the dairy category is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the increasing consumer demand for safe and high-quality dairy products, cost-effective and efficient testing, the rising incidence of foodborne illnesses, and the development of faster and more accurate methods of pathogen testing. For instance, a biotech start-up named Lexagen announced the introduction of a genetic testing tool in February 2019 that can easily and quickly identify a wide range of food pathogens.
Rapid food pathogen testing can help the dairy industry to minimize the risk of product recalls and reduce costs associated with product spoilage, lost sales, and potential lawsuits. By detecting and eliminating pathogens early on, the dairy industry can ensure the safety and quality of its products, maintain consumer confidence, and protect its brand reputation.
“North America dominated the Rapid Food Pathogen Testing Market in 2021”
North America dominated the rapid food pathogen testing market in 2021. This is mainly due to the growing regional agricultural exports which may increase the likelihood of outbreaks and the health impacts related to microbial infections in food. The market is anticipated to be driven by the rising number of foodborne illnesses in the region. For instance, in the United States, the CDC estimates that there are 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually, resulting in 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths.
