The World Market for Food Safety Testing to 2024: Mortality & Morbidity Due to Foodborne Illness is the Principal Driving Force for Growth

DUBLIN, May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Markets and Technologies for Food Safety Testing" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The food safety testing market remains a technologically dynamic and flourishing market in the world primarily due to the increasing cases of foodborne illnesses. Foodborne illnesses can be prevented by using food safety testing methods.

For instance, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), there were 24,484 illnesses, 5,677 hospitalizations, and 122 deaths in the United States in 2017, the most recent year for which data are available.

Reasons for Doing This Study

The principal driving force behind the economic demand for food safety testing is mortality and morbidity due to foodborne illness. In the U.S., where there are somewhat reliable data, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) estimates that 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths are linked to foodborne illness annually.

However, the number of laboratory confirmed illnesses is far below the actual annual incidence of foodborne illness. With more regulatory laws and guidelines emerging worldwide, the food safety sector is substantially growing. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) has given the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) new authority to review records, including details of how critical verification testing is conducted.

The new FSMA based inspections have only begun, but it is expected that FDA investigators will be questioning the scientific validity of test results. This may lead to in-depth documentation reviews of the laboratory testing. Customers of ingredient suppliers are also beginning to look closely at how verification testing is conducted.

The goal of enacting FSMA is to understand how hazards are being controlled and monitored throughout the supply chain. In many cases, it is expected that ingredients will be tested in an ISO accredited lab or a lab that has been audited and approved.
