Food Safety Testing Market: By Contaminants, By Technology, By Food Tested, and Regional Forecast 2020-2031

Food Safety Testing Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Contaminants (Pathogens, Pesticides, Genetically modified organisms, Toxins), By Technology (Rapid, Traditional), By Food Tested (Dairy Fruits and vegetables, Meat and poultry, Processed foods, Others), and Regional Forecast 2020-2031

Food Safety Testing Market size was valued at US$ 21.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 37.9 billion by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 8.2% from 2025-2031. Food safety testing enables ascertaining that processed food, frozen food, canned food, and farm fresh products are free from pathogens. The contaminants entered into the foods during manufacturing or packaging will lead to serious health concerns. Inadequate cooking of the food, improper storage, and poor handling will lead to contamination of food. The growing prevalence of foodborne diseases such as botulism, salmonellosis, and clostridium perfringens, raising awareness regarding food safety, and stringent government policies to ensure food safety are expected to accelerate the demand for food safety testing.

According to WHO, every year 1,25,000 children below 5 years die because of foodborne diseases. Furthermore, the changing trend towards the consumption of processed food, and canned food, and growing food fraud and adulteration of foods are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the. Additionally, the pool following of the GMP, GAP, and GHP guidelines by the manufacturers is propelling the growth of the. On the other hand, lack of awareness regarding food and its safety regulations, high costs associated with the safety testing performance, and long process duration are expected to hamper the market.
