Food Pathogen Testing Market Potential Applications, Strategy assessment and Market Analysis by 2021


Food pathogens are among the primary reasons for most common causes of food-borne diseases. The most dangerous food-borne pathogens include Listeria, Clostridium, Salmonella, Vibrio, etc. These food-borne pathogens may cause diseases like diarrhoea, gastrointestinal problems, botulism, and so on. Therefore, it is essential to carry out food pathogen testing for public safety and also to enhance the quality of food.  The factors that propel the growth of the global Food Pathogen Testing Market size include inflexible regulations of governments, food safety guidelines, growing emphasis on food superiority, rising number of food-borne diseases, high-tech advancements in food pathogen testing, and commercial accessibility of rapid screening tests. On the other hand, there are also factors that hamper the growth of the global Food Pathogen Testing Market size like the high expenditure on testing and screening process for pathogens in food. The global Food Pathogen Testing Market size constitutes food type, pathogen type, technology, and geography.

Based on food type, the global Food Pathogen Testing Market is classified as dairy, fruits & vegetables, meat & poultry, cereals & grains, and processed food. During the forecast period, the “meat & poultry” segment is anticipated to expand at a noteworthy rate. This large expansion is basically due to some highly revealed occurrences of various food-borne diseases initiated by pathogenic bacteria that have their origin in meat & poultry. This has consequently led to an upsurge in the global Food Pathogen Testing Market.

Owing to all these issues there have been strict measures taken by monitoring authorities as well as manufacturers to increase sanitary conditions and also the microbiological limit in meat & poultry.  Based on pathogen type, the global Food Pathogen Testing Market size spans E. coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and others. The other type of pathogens includes Bacillus, Clostridium, Staphylococcus, and Vibrio. In 2014, Salmonella testing dominated the global Food Pathogen Testing Market due to the great number of food-borne epidemics as Salmonella was traced in food types such as meat & poultry, dairy, processed food, etc. One of the primary causes of food-borne diseases across the globe is Salmonella. 

On the basis of technology, the global Food Pathogen Testing Market size spans traditional, convenience-based, rapid, PCR, immunoassay–based, and other molecule-based tests. The other molecule-based tests comprise HPLC, GC, MS, LC, and LC-MS. Amongst the types of technology, rapid testing technology is estimated to propel the growth of the Food Pathogen Testing Market. The factors that contribute to the growth of technology include its sensitivity, rapid detection and identification of pathogens, robotic assays reducing hands on manipulation, and analysis process carried out in short time. 


Based on geography, the global Food Pathogen Testing Market size spans North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. In 2014, North America accounted for the largest share of the global Food Pathogen Testing Market owing to the factors like rising customer alertness regarding food safety and the growing number of food assassinating epidemics. On the other hand, in the countries like China and India, growth has been fuelled due to increasing awareness regarding food safety. As such, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to grow at the highest rates.  Some of the prominent players that fuel the growth of the global Food Pathogen Testing Market Size include SGS S.A., Bureau Veritas S.A., Intertek Group Plc, Eurofins Scientific SE, and Silliker Inc.
