Food Diagnostics Market

Global Food Diagnostics Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global Food Diagnostics Market size is expected to be worth USD 13.88 billion in 2024, and it is estimated to reach a valuation of USD 24.03 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 7.1% during the determined period. Increased incidence of foodborne illness, globalization of the food trade and increased demand for efficient and reliable real-time food inspection are driving this market demand.

Diagnosis is the process of identifying the causes or characteristics of some phenomena, especially the abnormal behavior of an animal or artificial device. Food diagnostic systems are extensively employed to recognize impurities in various activities like manufacturing, processing, and packaging. Food diagnostics is a test platform that helps detect foodborne pathogens, decomposing organisms, and hygiene monitoring. Differentiating foodborne illness can put a great burden on the health care sector. The food diagnostic system facilitates a decision based on information on whether the product is safe for the market or sent for reprocessing. The system helps the food and beverage industry to improve product quality and provide consumer protection. Food diagnostic systems are the result of an increased awareness of food security in emerging markets. The system is designed to identify impurities and food contamination from manufacturing, processing and packaging. Food can be analyzed using a variety of methods, such as autoimmune isolation, microbiological identification, and antibody-based tests.

REPORT COVERAGE

Drivers

The growth of the global market is mainly due to the growing concern for the quality and safety of food. Growing consumer concerns about food safety can also have a positive impact on the global market for food diagnostic systems. In addition, strict food safety and preservation regulations and extensive diagnostic techniques and methods are expected to accelerate market growth during the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of foodborne illness worldwide and the increased awareness of food security are some of the key factors that are expected to stimulate the growth of the global food diagnostic systems market in the near future. Increase in foodborne illness, increased propensity for field trials, globalization of food transactions, implementation of new and improved technologies in PCR, chromatography and immunoassay, strict government policies on prevention of foodborne illness, safety and quality of food for the consumer. Concerns about increasing food diagnostics are factors feeding the market boom. The spread of foodborne illness, food fornication, and the rise of food allergens have led to multiple food recovery rates in the past five years. This has led to an increase in the number of food safety inspections, increasing the demand for food diagnostic systems and consumables. The main applications of food diagnostic equipment are food chemistry analysis, microbial analysis, nutritional analysis, allergen analysis, GMO testing, and toxin analysis. Microbiological analysis is an important application area for food diagnostic equipment. Using this analysis, food standards are known as analyzes, as do other factors such as the quality of ingredients used in food preparation.

Strict government regulations on the prevention of foodborne illness are expected to strengthen the growth of the global food diagnostic system market. The increase in food processing industry safety tests with faster results is also expected to have a major impact on the food diagnostics market. The global outbreak of foodborne illness is expected to remain a major force driving demand in the food diagnostic market. The development of the emerging testing industry is expected to offer unexplored opportunities to market participants. However, modifications to the sampling and preparation standardization may hinder market growth. The increasing propensity for field testing and the globalization of food testing, and the implementation of new and improved technologies in PCR, chromatography and immunoassay are two factors that complement the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing demand for emerging niche markets and food testing can create opportunities in world markets. The globalization of food trade is opening the door to new growth opportunities worldwide and is expected to drive the global market for food diagnostic systems in the coming years. The emergence of rapid and cost-effective technologies with regard to food preservation, safety and quality, and increased consumer awareness, provide promising growth opportunities for key players operating in the global market for food diagnostic systems.

Restraints

Changes in sample preparation and standardization are important factors that are expected to limit the growth of the entire market in the coming years. Differences in the food manufacturing process are key factors inhibiting the growth of the global food diagnostic systems market. Furthermore, the high cost and complexity associated with diagnostic systems are other factors that are expected to hinder the growth of the global market for food diagnostic systems during the outlook period.

Food Diagnostics Market Segmentation Analysis

By type, hybridization-based segment is expected to be the largest contributors to the food diagnostic market during the forecast period. PCR systems and microarrays have become a powerful tool for food analysis due to their high analysis precision and easy-to-use procedures and the accurate output of food diagnostics. Furthermore, hybridization-based systems are the most desirable diagnostic systems for the detection and quantification of foodborne pathogens. The system is also used to identify mutations in foodborne pathogens that cause chronic infections. Due to these advantages of the hybridization system in the detection of food contaminants, the food diagnostic market is expected to drive the growth of this market.

The security testing sector is expected to grow to the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The diagnosis of the food in the sample is performed as a preventive measure to reduce the probability of contamination and improve nutritional quality before marketing the product. Globally, regulations on the quality and safety of food production and trade are driving the market for food diagnostics.

Of the foods tested, the meat, poultry and seafood sectors are estimated to dominate the market in 2018. Contamination of meat and poultry products is often observed during processing, packaging and storage. The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has established regulations to control the contamination of meat and poultry products in slaughterhouses and processing plants based on the HACCP food safety control system.

Regional Analysis

The North American food market has earned the largest share of revenue in the global market for food diagnostic systems due to increased interest in the prevention of foodborne illness and the adoption of advanced technologies to detect food contaminants. The European market is expected to show moderate growth due to the strict implementation of food safety. Europe is estimated to have the largest share in 2018, with markets in this region driven primarily by growth in the German and British nations. The local market is fueled by European food policies that are developed by the National Reference Laboratories and the European Reference Laboratories to control food standards and protect consumer health. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to show significant growth in terms of imports, and a growing awareness of food safety and quality will lead to the highest annual growth rate during the forecast period.
