What Fueled The Previous Growth In The Food Authenticity Testing Market?
The food authenticity testing market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for food authenticity verification has seen significant growth in the past few years. It is projected to increase from $8.58 billion in 2024 to $9.19 billion in 2025, presenting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. Factors that have contributed to this growth throughout the historic period comprise concerns over food safety, strict regulatory measures, globalized food supply chains, higher instances of food forgery, and the advancement of swift testing techniques.
What Is The Expected Growth In The Food Authenticity Testing Template Market?
The Food Authenticity Testing market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of food authenticity testing is projected to witness robust expansion in the forthcoming years. The market is forecasted to reach $13.05 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%.
The escalation in the forecast period can be accredited to the increasing demand for plant-based products, the emergence of portable testing devices, the need for personalized testing solutions, and the concerns over food allergens along with the focus on non-destructive testing techniques. Key trends expected during the forecast period involve improvements in analytical technologies, wider acceptance of DNA testing, validation of organic and specialty products, adoption of blockchain technology for traceability, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI).
What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Food Authenticity Testing Market?
The food authenticity testing market is being driven by the increasing prevalence of food frauds around the globe. Food fraud represents the deliberate sale of inferior food, misrepresented as high quality, to consumers. The escalation of such instances is fueled by a desire to cater to rising consumer demands, mounting financial stresses and infrequent oversight. Food authenticity testing serves as a crucial tool to identify such deceptions. This was highlighted in a report released by the UK's Food Standards Agency in March 2023: food crime in the UK is projected to cost between £410 million and £1.96 billion annually, equating to 0.07% to 0.33% of the food industry's annual turnover. Consequently, the proliferation of food fraud is anticipated to accelerate the expansion of the food authenticity testing market.
