Dublin, Nov. 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v7p2sh/food_safety) has announced the addition of the "Food Safety Testing Market - Global Trends Forecast to 2018" report to their offering.
The global food safety testing market has been growing due to
ongoing concern for food safety among consumers, food
manufacturers, regulatory bodies and governments. Food safety
concern has been on the rise partly due to increasing outbreaks of
foodborne illness and poisoning due to contaminated food. The
factors responsible for food contamination include improper
handling of food, contaminated input food materials, inadequate
treatment/processing of food that destroys the contaminants, etc.
The majority outbreaks of foodborne illness have been traced to the
presence of pathogens in the food. Hence, in 2012, pathogen testing
has dominated the global food safety testing market.
The driving force of the market includes stringent regulations and
increasing food supply trade. The introduction of novel techniques
to detect and identify contaminants present in food samples has
also been driving the market. The key market players include SGS SA
(Switzerland), Eurofins (Europe), Intertek (U.K.), and Bureau
Veritas (France). The key players are using strategies such as new
product/service launch and merger and acquisitions to strengthen
their position in the market.
The global food
safety testing market is projected to grow from $9,262.3
million in 2012 to $14,030.2 million by 2018. In 2012, North
America was the largest market for food safety testing with a share
of 40%.
