Asia Pacific Mycotoxin Testing Market: By Type (Aflatoxin, Deoxynivalenol, Ochratoxins, Fumonisins, Trichothecene, Zearalenone, Patulin, and Others)  By Technology, (Chromatography- & spectroscopy-based and Immunoassay-based), and country 

Asia Pacific Mycotoxin Testing Market size was valued at US$ 308.6 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2024 to 2030. The region's demand for mycotoxin testing has increased because of the COVID-19 outbreak. Because COVID-19 originated in China, testing of products exported from that country will be a priority to prevent a new outbreak. Furthermore, the market's expansion may be linked to the Chinese government's efforts to achieve global compliance with food safety norms and standards to boost the country's export industry. Food products will be in higher demand from North American and European countries. As a result, testing these items before export will be essential, increasing the mycotoxin testing market in Asia Pacific countries. Several molds that are typically found on agricultural products, when eaten by humans or animals produce a toxic effect. They can produce toxic chemical compounds. Mycotoxins are chemical metabolites that are derived from the words "myco" (fungus) and "toxin" (poison).

Asia Pacific Mycotoxin Testing Market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launchings by the market players. Strategic alliances by the players such as acquisitions, mergers, expansions, and new product launches may enhance the company's growth. For instance, In March 2018, Bureau Veritas acquired EMG Corporation (EMG). With this acquisition, the company has expanded its service portfolio and also increased its brand value which has helped the company to increase its revenue. In February 2018, Certain International from Australia and Hoan Vu from Vietnam announced the use of blockchain infrastructure provided by OriginTrail using GS1 supply chain data standards to tackle the cases of food fraud crisis by providing rapid traceability solutions. However, the lack of food management infrastructure, the complexity of testing technology, and the lack of regulations in emerging countries hamper the mycotoxin and food testing market.
