Major Food Allergen Testing Market Drivers

The major factors driving the global food allergen testing market include the growing awareness among the consumers related to the safety of food products, along with the strong demand for fresh and suitable products, that have resulted in increased adoption of food safety practices. Additionally, the rising prevalence of food allergies at the global level is another factor that is contributing to the growing demand of the market. Children are the most vulnerable population group to food allergy. The rising number of food allergy cases have encouraged the public health authorities to take significant measures to curb allergic reactions and its consequences. Moreover, the constant growth in the food & beverage industry, followed by the increasing international trade of food and food ingredients, will create numerous growth opportunities for the food allergen testing market.

Increasing incidences of food adulteration and contamination have increased the chances of foodborne diseases, thus, increasing the healthcare costs, increasing the need for food safety testing across the globe. Food allergy testing ensures the quality of food products, impeding potential health hazards to consumers. Moreover, the increasing consumption of packaged food products aided by the rising urbanization, hectic lifestyles, and increasing income levels will expand the market growth.

Apart from this, the versatility, automation, and the speed of analysis, and the strict regulatory frameworks on food safety, are encouraging food processors to adopt immunoassays (IAs) in food testing. Furthermore, leading market players are introducing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits, standard and chromogenic media, and immune sera for the fast and qualitative detection of pathogens in real-time. They are also focusing on developing methods that help minimize the time and cost of food testing while ensuring accurate results. This is anticipated to positively influence the adoption of food safety testing worldwide.

Numerous leading multi-retail players are introducing their own name brands selling gluten-free foods. Supermarkets have begun to advertise intolerance food products through the internet to capture a new customer base. With the growing awareness and popularity of intolerance foods, various restaurants are featuring allergen-free food items on their menus. All these factors will have a positive influence on the surging demand of the market. However, on the other hand, the lack of awareness related to labeling regulations and the lack of food control infrastructure & resources, particularly in the developing economies, are the two major factors that are hampering the growth of the market in the coming years.

Source- Segment Analysis

Based on the source, the peanut & soy segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing number of people who are suffering from peanut allergy. Soy & peanut allergy is one of the most common food allergies around the world. The doctor diagnoses peanut allergy using a skin-prick test, which might result in an over-diagnosis or false-positives.

Technology- Segment Analysis

On the basis of technology, the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)-based segment is expected to grow at a faster CAGR over the forecast period. The PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology is being increasingly used to quickly make millions of copies of a definite DNA sample, thus allowing the scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and intensify it to a large amount in order to study in detail. This is one of the major factors that is accelerating the growth of the segment in the coming years.

Food Tested- Segment Analysis

Based on the food tested, the bakery & confectionery segment is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the surging confectionery product’s demand, which has surged the quality check procedure, thus stimulating the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing dark chocolate demand among young consumers, is another factor that is responsible for the growth of the segment. The leading organizations are offering a wide range of testing methods that gives detailed analysis for pathogens, mycotoxins, and hygiene monitoring.

Regional – Segment Analysis

Based on the region, Europe region is predicted to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to the stringent policies which aimed to achieve a high level of food safety in the region. Tree nuts, fish, and peanut are the most common allergic food products that cause frequent allergies in European countries. Moreover, the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission is to eliminate the occurrence of food allergic reactions triggered by the consumption of undeclared allergens. All these factors are driving the growth of the market in this region. A significant surge in the research and development activities, availability of funds for research, and accelerating population will bolster the market growth. As per the Food Standard Agency, in 2016, approximately 2 million people suffer from food allergies, accounting for 8% of children and 2% of adult population.

North America is expected to witness a larger CAGR over the upcoming years, owing to the growing awareness about patient allergies and a large patient base along with the availability of new and advanced treatment options for people suffering with food allergies.
