has announced the addition of the "North
America Food Safety Testing Market by Contaminants, Technology,
Food Types & Geography - Trends & Forecast to 2018"
report to their offering.
The North American food safety testing market is projected to
grow from $3,707.7 million in 2012 to $5,640.1 million by
2018.
In 2012, the U.S. dominated the food safety testing market largely due to the rigorous implementation of food safety regulations such as a zero tolerance policy for listeria contamination. The regulatory bodies in North America have been strictly supervising the implementation of HACCP systems by food manufacturers. The food safety concern among consumers has also been increasing due to the media influence. The market has been driven by the testing of food material during every stage of food production and processing.
In 2012, U.S. was the largest market for food safety testing
with a share of 70%. In 2012, Canada was the second largest market
followed by Mexico. In 2012, contaminant testing in processed food
was the largest segment in North American market.In 2012, pathogen
testing dominated the food safety testing market and is projected
to be the fastest growing contaminant safety testing market during
the forecast period of 2013 to 2018. In 2012, processed foods
accounted for maximum pathogen testing in the market. E. coli
testing segment is projected to be the fastest growing pathogen
testing market during the same period.
Pathogens are the leading cause of food borne poisoning or illness.
In 2012, pathogen testing dominated the food
safety testing market in which salmonella testing accounted for
the major share. Food contamination and recalls due to salmonella
contamination has led to increase in the salmonella testing.
Increasing food contamination and outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing
E. coli (STEC) poisoning is expected to increase E. coli testing in
market. Food safety testing market is projected to increase at a
CAGR of 7.3% by 2018.
