Global Food Contaminant Testing Market 2017-2021

Overview of the global food contaminant testing market

The increasing number of health-conscious people is encouraging governments to establish standards, policies, and regulatory framework for food safety. Technavio's market research report identifies that the increasing number of stringent government regulations on food safety will be one of the primary growth drivers for the global food contaminant testing market till 2021. For instance, in China, the central government introduced stringent regulations regarding the production and application of melamine in the food industry, especially in dairy products. Also, in December 2015, certain amendments were made to the existing food safety laws by China food and drug administration. This ensures the supervision of food production and distribution. It also imposes severe penalties for violations of the law. Food labeling with statutory warnings about allergens encourages the consumption of anti-allergy diet and adoption of food contaminant testing. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of close to 7% by 2021.

The development and adoption of advanced diagnostic technologies is propelling growth in the global food contaminant testing market in the Americas. Also, North America implements one of the most unconventional food safety programs across the region. For instance, regulatory bodies are coming up with training on food safety by establishing a program called the good agricultural practices program. This program focuses on the objective of reducing potential risks that are involved during the production of vegetables and fruits.
