The global food pathogen testing market was valued at US$ 5,360.94 million in 2019 and is projected treach US$ 9,731.91 million by 2027; it is expected tgrow at a CAGR of 7.9% during 2020–2027. The scope of this study involves understanding the factors contributing tthe growth of the market; it alsincludes estimating and forecasting the revenues, conducting the market share analysis, and spotting significant market players along with their key developments.
Pathogen testing is a process of identifying and eradicating pathogens in food products contaminated due timproper storage, cooking, or exposure tanimal manure. The processes entailed in pathogen testing include the screening of pre-process raw materials, monitoring, and releasing the safe finished products in an accurate and cost-efficient manner. The growth of the global food pathogen testing market is propelled by the increasing prevalence of food poisoning, growing consumer awareness regarding food safety, use of genetically modified organisms, and stringent regulations by government agencies regarding food safety. Technologies such as like Immunomagnetic Separation (IMS) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) support the sensitive detection or testing of the foodborne pathogens. The advances in nanobiotechnology alsfavorsadvances in nanobiotechnology alsfavor the miniaturization of devices. The introduction of new-lab-on-a-chip technologies permit the development of portable and hand held biosensors for the detection of food pathogens.
Based on type, the food pathogen testing market is segmented intE.coli, salmonella, listeria, campylobacter, and others. In 2019, the salmonella segment dominated the food pathogen testing market. Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped gram-negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. More than 2500 different serotypes have been identified Wwithin twspecies namely , salmonella enterica and Salmonella bongori, more than 2500 different serotypes have been identified till date. Salmonella is a hardy and ubiquitous bacteria that can survive several weeks in a dry environment and several months in water. Salmonellosis is a disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella. It is generally characterized by abdominal pain, acute onset of fever, diarrhea, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. Salmonella is widely distributed in wild and domestic animals. They are common in food animals such as pigs, poultry, and cattle. The bacteria can travel through the entire food chain from animal feed, primary production, and thouseholds or food-service establishments and institutions. Salmonellosis in humans is usually contracted through the consumption of contaminated food of animal origin, mainly meat, meat, poultry, and milk. Other foods, such as green vegetables contaminated by manure, have been implicated in its transmission. The majority of cases of salmonellosis are mild; however, sometimes, it can be life-threatening. The intensity of the disease depends on host factors and the serotype of salmonella.
The COVID-19 outbreak was first registered in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace around the globe. Extended lockdowns and travel bans owing tthe rise in the number of COVID-19 cases have resulted in the limitation on the supplies of food and & beverages. This represents a significant loss for food pathogen testing manufacturers as well.
Based on geography, the global food pathogen testing market is broadly segmented intfive regions — North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and South America. The North America accounted for the largest share of the global food pathogen testing market in 2018, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
