The immunoassay-based food testing kits segment is estimated to be the largest in 2017

The immunoassay-based segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the food testing kits market, in terms of value, in 2017. The immunoassay-based segment dominated the market for technology in 2016. Immunoassay-based technology is used for screening of a wide variety of targets tested in food, such as pathogens, meat species, GMOs, allergens, pesticides, mycotoxins, and other residues. Also, it is cost-efficient and offers rapid test results. These are some of the factors fueling the growth of immunoassay-based segment in the food testing kits market.

The meat, poultry, and seafood segment is estimated to be largest among samples tested in 2017

Meat, poultry, and seafood are widely tested for contaminants such as pathogens, other meat species, GMOs, and allergens. Stringent regulatory policies by leading authorities to prevent contamination of and allergies caused by meat & meat products in slaughterhouses and processing plants form a significant factor responsible for the growth of this segment in the food testing kits market.

North America is estimated to be the most lucrative market for food testing kits

The North American region is projected to dominate this market by 2022. The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. The market in this region is driven by the increasing export activities, which need onsite testing and faster test results to meet the standards & regulations enforced by different countries and regions.

The market for food testing kits in developing countries lacks food control infrastructure and resources; also, there is lack of support from international agencies such as FAO, the WHO, and the World Bank. There is also lack of harmonization of food safety regulations and implementation of heavy duty on import of test kits in various regions, which is also restraining market growth. These are few restraining factors that affect the growth of food testing kits market, globally.
