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 meat speciation analysis market. For instance, in 2016, International Laboratory Services Ltd was acquired by Eurofins in order to strengthen its product portfolio and to expand its presence in the UK. In 2014, Scientists of Institute of food research on Norwich Research Park came entered into a deal with Oxford instruments for the development of cheap and fast alternative for DNA testing to distinguish horsemeat from beef.
