The existence of inadequate regulatory infrastructure in underdeveloped countries due to limited resources and lack of restructuring of food regulatory agencies is expected to limit growth. However, the industry in Asia Pacific is expected to grow owing to notable growth of food processing sector in developing economies such as India and China and the enforcement of stringent regulations regarding product safety. Increasing awareness regarding quality checks and the examining of edible products are also expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

  • Allergen segment accounted for 12.8% of the revenue share of the market in 2018 owing to its extensive usage in advanced production processes and minimize contamination risks

  • The food safety testing market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at 8.9% from 2019 to 2025.

Rising demand for packaged and processed food in developed and developing economies owing to factors, such as changing lifestyle and growing popularity of quick-service restaurants, is anticipated to drive the need for safety testing of edible items. In addition, rising demand for quality tests for processed and unprocessed meats is expected to drive the food safety testing market growth.

Food safety has often been used as a means to control trade and impose taxes and tariffs. In addition, shift in the behavior and demographics of population across Asia Pacific is expected to spur the consumption of packaged food, which is expected to drive the demand for safety assessment of edible items over the forecast period. Technological improvements concerning the expansion of reliable, rapid quality and safety check techniques such as biosensors, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and rapid culture detection are presenting new opportunities for market development. In addition, rising use of electrical biosensors in microbiological testing to reduce analysis time is likely to drive the market for safety evaluation of edible items over the forecast period.
