Fairfield Market Research maps the growth path of the global food authenticity testing market on a promising trajectory over the years to come. The market recorded revenue of approximately US$8 Bn in 2022.

Market Analysis in Brief

Modern consumers are highly conscious of the quality and authenticity of the food they consume. Food fraud, mislabelling, and contamination are among their major concerns. Such consumer shifts have increased demand for transparency and accurate labelling, leading to increased food authenticity testing. Moreover, government officials and regulatory bodies are introducing stricter regulations to prevent food fraud and ensure food safety. This in turn is further accelerating the growth trajectory of the global food authenticity testing market. Moreover, manufacturers and brands across the food industry are adopting food authenticity testing to gain a competitive edge over their peers. In the upcoming years, the food authenticity testing industry is anticipated to flourish with the growing significance of food safety testing, transparency, and consumer trust in the food industry.

Key Report Findings

In 2022, the global food authenticity testing market size was nearly US$8 Bn
A surge in food trade across borders of the emerging market bodes well for the market
PCR-based technology to emerge as the key technology for food authenticity testing
North America to assert dominance in the food authenticity market
SGS, Bureau Veritas, Eurofins, Intertek, and Mérieux NutriSciences are among the prominent international players across the food authenticity testing industry

Growth Drivers

Surge in Food Trade Across Borders

Emerging markets often face challenges related to counterfeit products, food fraud, and inadequate regulatory frameworks. The expansion of the food trade across borders amplifies such risks. Therefore, vendors are emphasizing food authenticity testing as it helps with identification mislabelling, detecting adulteration, and the presence of contaminants. This is expected to foster the pace of growth for the food authenticity testing market.

Additionally, food authenticity also ensures vendors meet international regulations and compliance for food trade. With food authenticity testing, vendors can ensure the accuracy of product claims, identify potential non-compliance issues, and prevent the entry of substandard or qualitatively unsafe food products.

Rising Demand for Packaged Food

The global food authenticity testing market is witnessing robust expansion, propelled by growing health concerns among consumers and increased demand for packaged food. The hectic lifestyles of individuals have led to increased reliance on pre-packaged and convenience food. This shift in dietary preferences has generated a necessity for stringent quality control measures. Besides this, individuals are becoming increasingly aware of the potential health risk associated with consuming adulterated or counterfeit food.

Rapid Advancements in Detection Methods

The global food authenticity testing market is poised to grow at an unabated growth owing to technological advancements in the industry. Techniques such as stable isotope analysis, DNA sequencing, and spectroscopy have drastically improved detection capabilities, thus allowing for reliable and more comprehensive testing. Moreover, the advances in analytical technologies have also made food authenticity testing more accurate, efficient, and accessible.

Growth Challenges

Inadequate Technical Proficiency

Major limitations to the global food authenticity testing market growth include inadequate technical proficiency within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), growing instances of mislabelling, and constrained financial resources. Various market players also find establishing and maintaining brand equity a major challenge. Apart from this, the absence of harmonised standards for food safety and quality is a major hurdle in smooth market expansion.

Overview of Key Segments

PCR-based Technique Most Preferred

The global food authenticity testing market, based on the technique, is segmented into PCR-based, LC-MS/MS, Isotope methods, and Immunoassay-based. Among these, PCR-based techniques are gaining significant traction. It amplifies DNA fragments extracted from food samples for the accurate identification of various DNA in a product. This enables users to verify the authenticity of the product and confirm the product’s claim. Another key reason for PCR-based technology's prominence is its accurate measurement of adulterants, meats, or GMOs in products.

Processed Food Leading Segment

Based on food tested, the global food authenticity testing market extends to meat & meat products, dairy & dairy products, cereal, grain, and pulse, and processed food. Processed foods are the major segment. The key factor behind this rise is increased globalization with ingredients and products bring exported from numerous regions around the world. The growing number of processed food frauds and counterfeiters is also accelerating the expansion of the processed food segment.

Regional Segment

Europe Represents a Major Market Share, Asia Pacific to Witness Highest Growth

Europe is projected to dominate the global food authenticity testing market. Various local government entities such as National reference laboratories (NRLs) are introducing favourable policies. Furthermore, the implementation of food safety, the growing number of consumer complaints, and labelling compliance have driven regional market growth. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing market. The region has experienced rapid economic growth, resulting in increased disposable income and changing dietary preferences.

Leading Industry Participants

International market players accelerating the growth trajectory for the global food authenticity testing market include Krishgen Biosystems (U.S.), IEH Laboratories and Consulting Group (U.S.), AES Laboratories (India), SGS (Switzerland), Bureau Veritas (France), Intertek (U.K.), Mérieux NutriSciences (U.S.), ALS Limited (Australia), Neogen (U.S.), AsureQuality (New Zealand), Charm Sciences (U.S.), Premier Analytical Services (U.K.), Dairyland Laboratories (U.S.), AES Laboratories (India), Bio-Check (U.K.), Envirologix Inc.
