Marché des tests d'allergies et d'intolérances alimentaires au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique - Tendances et prévisions de l'industrie jusqu'en 2029

Analyse et perspectives du marché

La sécurité et la qualité des aliments sont des préoccupations majeures pour la fabrication de produits alimentaires, le commerce de détail et l'hôtellerie. Elles ont un impact sur la productivité. Les allergies alimentaires augmentent à l'échelle mondiale, notamment le nombre d'allergènes, le taux de sensibilisation et le taux de prévalence. Pour protéger les personnes allergiques aux aliments dans la communauté, les allergies alimentaires doivent être gérées de manière appropriée, testées dans les aliments transformés et correctement étiquetées sur ceux-ci. La présence de tests d'allergènes a récemment augmenté et les laboratoires d'analyse peuvent aider à détecter ces allergènes. La fonction la plus importante des laboratoires d'allergènes alimentaires est de tester les aliments pour détecter la présence d'allergènes tels que le soja , les produits laitiers, les arachides et les noix, entre autres.    

La demande de tests alimentaires augmente, et les fabricants s'impliquent dans le lancement de nouveaux produits, les promotions, les récompenses, la certification et la participation à des événements sur le marché. Ces décisions favorisent en fin de compte la croissance du marché.

Market Definition

Food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives or swollen airways. In some people, a food allergy can cause severe symptoms or even a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis. A food intolerance, on the other hand, occurs when a person has difficulty digesting a particular food. This can lead to symptoms such as intestinal gas, abdominal pain or diarrhea. Food allergen and intolerance testing is the scientific analysis of food and food contents for the detection of allergens. It is done to provide information about the various allergic components of food, including the structure, composition, and physicochemical properties of the food. Food product testing can be done using several highly advanced methods for providing accurate information about the nutritional value and safety of the food.    

Food testing and analysis are essential for food safety to ensure that the food is safe to consume. This includes nourishing the network of food testing laboratories, assuring the quality of food testing, investing in human resources and carrying out surveillance activities, and educating consumers.

Food Allergens and Intolerance Testing Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing prevalence of food allergies and intolerance

According to the World Health Organization, allergies affect up to 40 percent of the world’s population, and the proportion of sufferers in big cities and industrialized countries is rising. They can cause chronic illness and, in the case of some food allergies, can be fatal. Food allergy has emerged as a serious public health concern. The prevalence of food allergies is estimated to be around 2-4% in adults and 6-8% in children. In Western countries, challenge-diagnosed food allergy has been reported to be as high as 10%, with the greatest prevalence noted among younger children. There is also growing evidence of increasing prevalence in developing countries, with rates of challenge-diagnosed food allergy in China and Africa reported to be similar to that in Western countries. An interesting observation is that children of East Asian or African descent born in a Western environment are at higher risk of food allergy compared to Caucasian children; this intriguing finding emphasizes the importance of genome-environment interactions and forecasts future increases in food allergy in Asia and Africa as economic growth continues in these regions. While cow’s milk and egg allergy are two of the most common food allergies in most countries, diverse patterns of food allergy can be observed in individual geographic regions determined by each country’s feeding patterns. Moreover, with the adverse non-toxic reactions (hypersensitivity), the prevalence rate of food allergies is mounting exponentially. The rising number of food allergy cases has prompted public health authorities around the world to take significant measures to curb the allergies' reactions and their consequences.

• A variety of foods susceptible to allergens creates a need for testing

Right from baby foods to bakery & confectionery, dairy, beverage, convenience goods, and meat products, all are susceptible to cause allergies, which is creating a large food allergen testing marketplace. Furthermore, due to the poor quality of animal feed, there is always a possibility of meat causing allergies in humans. Even though the food and beverages industry is observing an increase in demand for animal feed additives that are capable of improving the quality of feed, the food intolerance testing market yet holds importance in ameliorating allergies caused by meat.   

Although more than 170 foods have been identified as causing food allergies in sensitive consumers, the USDA and the FDA have identified eight major allergenic foods, based on the 2004 FALCPA (the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act). 

Opportunity

• Food allergen testing in emerging markets

According to the World Allergy Organization (WAO), anaphylaxis in emergency rooms ranged from 222, 300-350, and 3,000 episodes on an annual basis in Hungary, Japan, and China respectively. Furthermore, the organization estimates the prevalence rate of anaphylaxis to be 2%, 0.1%, and 0.6-1% of the population in the U.S., Korea, and Australia. The Food Drugs Administration (FDA) has made food safety an imperative aspect of the food industry, which is acting as a driving factor for the market. Furthermore, there has been a discernible increase in the number of people suffering from food allergies since the 1990s, which is further making the food allergens testing market an important segment in countries such as Europe, the U.S., and others.

Restraints/Challenges

Many obstacles hinder the proper diagnosis of food allergies (FA) in the developing world since there is evidence that knowledge about food Allergies by parents and healthcare workers is insufficient, and in vitro diagnostic tests are not easily accessed. Early diagnosis of FA is important for prognosis and proper nutritional management. However, even in developed countries, a 4-month diagnostic lag is reported especially in infants with less severe manifestations of non-IgE mediated milk allergy. This situation is probably worse in developing countries; Aguilar-Jasso et al. found a 38-month delay in the diagnosis of FA in North-Western Mexico.

Lack of food control infrastructure & resources in developing countries and technical difficulties during sampling, testing, and protein identification are expected to obstruct the market growth. The Middle East and African countries and other low-income countries currently remain restricted because of low awareness about food allergens and intolerance testing. Lack of government initiative, poor economy, and above all lack of awareness among individuals regarding allergies related to food are going to hinder the market 

However, every country is bounded by the guidelines regulated by different authorities which are expected to act as a challenge to the growth of the food allergens and intolerance testing market.
