What Has Been The Evolution of the Food Pathogen Detection Technology Market in Recent Years?
The food pathogen detection technology market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for food pathogen detection technology has experienced significant growth over the past few years. It is projected to expand from $5.53 billion in 2024 to $5.96 billion in 2025, boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
The growth during the historical period is primarily due to an uptick in global foodborne illness outbreaks and the internationalization of food commerce.
What Are the Future Growth Projections for the Food Pathogen Detection Technology Market?
The food pathogen detection technology market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for food pathogen detection technology is predicted to witness robust growth in the coming years. It is projected that by 2029, it'll reach $8.02 billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%.
This growth during the predicted period is due to the escalating adoption of innovative food pathogen detection systems for speedier testing and the increasing severity of food safety rules. Noteworthy trends during this period include the growing use of genetic testing strategies for food pathogen identification, increase in the volume of pathogen test procedures, rising emphasis on detecting listeria in food specimens, expanding usage of food pathogen detection systems by independent testing labs, and a surge in mergers and acquisitions in the food pathogen detection technology market.
What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Food Pathogen Detection Technology Market?
The food pathogen detection technology market has seen a surge in its growth due to a global increase in the incidents of foodborne illnesses. These are hazardous or infectious diseases that people contract after consuming food or water that has been contaminated. As a prominent example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, stated in April 2024 that every year, around 48 million individuals fall sick due to foodborne illnesses. Out of these, 128,000 need hospitalization, and 3,000 succumb to such diseases annually. Further, in September 2023, the CDC reported that each year in Canada, 4 million cases of foodborne illnesses are recorded, caused by both identified and anonymous pathogens. As a consequence, the global rise in foodborne diseases has stimulated the necessity for food pathogen detection technology, propelling the market growth.
