Market Definition
Food pathogen testing is important to reduce and ultimately eliminate foodborne illnesses caused by foodborne pathogens, including bacteria, viruses and others. Almost 31 known bacteria, viruses and more unidentified agents cause foodborne illness. Pathogen testing is a process that is implemented in every step of food production to food packaging to ensure food safety and sanitation. The most common foodborne illness is caused by salmonella, listeria and E. coli. Food pathogen testing can be done either by conventional cell culture standard method or using advanced technologies or methodologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and others. The elimination of foodborne pathogens is desired for the entire food industry to decrease the cases of foodborne illness.
Europe Food Pathogen Testing Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Rise in prevalence of foodborne illnesses
Foodborne illnesses are caused by consuming spoiled or contaminated food with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites and others, leading to infection. The rising instances of foodborne disease among consumers globally create massive demand for food pathogen testing equipment. The main reason behind the increased foodborne illness in the food industry is the unaware workforce, food handlers and manufacturers, as they lack knowledge of modern technologies, good manufacturing practices (GMP), hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) systems, quality control. The lack of knowledge among workers leads to an increase in the prevalence of foodborne diseases. The rising instances of foodborne illness globally increase the demand for food pathogen testing to improve food safety.
Hence, the increasing number of foodborne illnesses and rising deaths due to contaminated food will aid in the growth of the food pathogen testing market.
- Growing concern regarding food safety
The demand for high-quality and safe food has increased recently due to greater awareness of the food quality issue in response to market pressure and reaction to other factors such as health concerns, which have been seen in the increased number of foodborne illnesses. The increasing incidences of foodborne diseases have prompted consumers to bring about vital changes in their diet and lifestyle, making them more concerned regarding food safety. Food safety is important not only for 'consumers' health but also for the entire food industry and regulatory authorities. The government is promoting safe food with rising concern about food safety among consumers.
Therefore, the rising demand for food safety and the need for food pathogen testing for food products to ensure that the product is safe for consumption is expected to boost the growth of the Europe food pathogen testing market.
Opportunity
-
Technological advancements in food pathogen testing
The demand for effective and technologically advanced food pathogen testing methods is increasing owing to rising concerns related to food safety and an increasing prevalence of foodborne illness. Foodborne pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and others can cause harm to consumers if they remain unchecked in food products. Traditional food pathogen testing methods are time-consuming and the need for the technologically advanced process is increasing. New technologies are developed to check the presence of food pathogens in food products efficiently.
Thus, technological advancements play a significant role in food pathogen testing as they help ensure that the food is safe to consume and helps reduce the case of foodborne illness, which is expected to create a good opportunity for the food pathogen testing market.
Restraint/Challenge
- Lack of technical expertise in small enterprises
Small enterprise food manufacturers do not know enough about food pathogen testing methods, services, or programs. They will not be able to meet the food safety requirements. Therefore, a lack of skills and knowledge, especially in developing countries, will affect the effective evaluation and inspection of food operations. Technical expertise and knowledge are essential to implement any such procedures. Thus, the government should conduct certain programs to educate workers so that maximum food safety and pathogen testing and, therefore, safety can be achieved. Lack of experience and technical knowledge, especially in small enterprises, will lead to serious contamination in food products, resulting in foodborne disease and can cause severe problems. The lack of expertise and technical knowledge could harm the food and pathogen testing industries.
Such a lack of knowledge and technical expertise in small enterprises will restrict the growth of the Europe food pathogen testing market.
Post COVID-19 Impact on Europe Food Pathogen Testing Market
COVID-19 has affected the market to some extent. Due to the lockdown the manufacturing and production of many small and large companies were halted and the demand from the food pathogen testing also increased, influencing the market. Post-pandemic food pathogen testing has increased due to the increasing demand for fermented beverages, soft drinks and many others. Due to the change in many mandates and regulations, manufacturers can design and launch new products in the market, which will help the market's growth.
Recent Development
- In March 2020, Randox Food Diagnostics launched a Bovine Pathogen Array, a new method for bovine disease testing. The testing helps screen cattle against prevalent bacteria, viruses and parasites. The test aims to identify and diagnose co-infection to reduce the spread of the diseases and to ensure maximum efficiency. The new product launch helped the company in enhancing their product portfolio
Therefore, most of the major players' launches have boosted market growth. At the same time, the high initial investment for installing food pathogen testing equipment and services will likely restrict the region's market growth.
