What Are The Leading Drivers Of Growth In The Heavy Metal Testing In Food And Beverage Application Market?
The rise in the prevalence of food allergies is predicted to fuel the expansion of the market for heavy metal testing in the food and beverage sector. The human immune system can react to certain foods, provoking allergies, resulting in digestive issues, hives, and swelling in the airways, even from a minute quantity of allergenic food. Heavy metal testing plays a crucial role in identifying elevated levels of toxic or potentially harmful heavy metals in food and drinks, thereby ensuring food safety. This surge in food allergy cases elevates the need for various heavy metal testing methods. For instance, data from Food Insight, a food information platform established by the non-profit International Food Information Council, showed that around 32 million individuals in the United States suffer from food allergies in May 2022. Furthermore, nearly 200,000 people rush to the emergency every year due to food-related allergies, and one in every 13 children is identified with a food allergy. Hence, the escalating cases of people with food allergies are driving the growth of the heavy metal testing in the food and beverage application market.
