The global food safety testing market is set to nearly double by 2032, reaching an estimated US$ 44.06 billion, according to a report from Verified Market Research. The market was valued at US$ 24.24 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.85% from 2024 to 2032.
Key Growth Drivers
- Tightening Regulations: Strict food-safety regulations around the world—from the U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to European and Asian standards—are pushing food producers to adopt rigorous testing protocols.
- Rising Incidents of Contamination: With increasing cases of foodborne illnesses caused by pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria, companies are investing more heavily in microbial testing.
- Advanced Technology Adoption: There’s growing adoption of next-generation testing methods, including rapid PCR kits, immunoassays, and automated platforms, which are enhancing speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency.
Challenges Ahead
- High Testing Costs: Advanced testing technologies require significant capital investment, limiting accessibility for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
- Infrastructure Gaps: In emerging markets, limited lab infrastructure and shortage of skilled professionals hinder adoption of sophisticated testing.
- Complex Testing Procedures: Some contaminants, such as pesticide residues and mycotoxins, still demand lengthy and multi-step testing, slowing down laboratory workflows.
Regional Dynamics and Market Players
- Regional Leaders: North America currently dominates the food safety testing market, thanks to robust regulation and well-developed testing infrastructure. Europe follows closely, while Asia-Pacific is emerging as the fastest-growing region.
- Major Players: The report highlights top global companies such as Eurofins Scientific SE, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bureau Veritas, SGS, Intertek, ALS Limited, Mérieux NutriSciences, Neogen, and Bio-Rad Laboratories.
The Verified Market Research report suggests that as food supply chains become more complex and consumer demand for product transparency intensifies, testing services will become increasingly mission-critical for food manufacturers. Industry observers believe that companies will further lean on automation, predictive analytics, and third-party testing to navigate regulatory compliance while managing costs.
If realized, this growth trajectory could reshape the food testing ecosystem by making quality assurance more proactive, efficient, and data-driven—a development that could significantly bolster consumer trust in food safety worldwide.
