Meat Speciation Analysis Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Form (Cooked, Raw, Processed), By Technology (Molecular diagnostic technique, Enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay technique (ELISA), Polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR)), By Species (Chicken, Pig, Turkey, Sheep, Cow, Horse, Goat), and Region

Meat Speciation Analysis Market size was Valued at US$ 2.1 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 9.7% from 2023-2029. Determination of the species from which the meat originated is known as meat speciation. When the meat is removed from the carcass is not easy to identify visually the difference in the species. As the meat is processed more then it will become more unrecognizable from the original species, this is the stage where contamination and adulteration occur. Meat speciation will be performed for processed, cooked, and raw meat products. Claims which are made by the product labels are examined by the meat speciation analyzing systems to identify the authenticity of the meat and its products, so as to ensure the safety of the consumers. Rising scandals of meat adulteration and food fraud in the meat industry and food industry are expected to surge demand for meat analysis. Investments in R&D, new product developments, inclination towards innovative technologies, clinical trials, etc. are major strategies adopted by players in order to gain leverage in the meat speciation analysis market. For instance, in 2016, International Laboratory Services Ltd was acquired by Eurofins in order to strengthen its product portfolio and expand its presence in the UK. In 2014, Scientists of the Institute of Food Research on Norwich Research Park entered into a deal with Oxford Instruments for the development of a cheap and fast alternative for DNA testing to distinguish horsemeat from beef.
