Market Definition
Heavy metals are a group of metals and metalloids with relatively high density and are toxic even at ppb levels. Heavy metals normally occur in nature and are essential to life, but they can become toxic through accumulation in organisms. Heavy metal testing is important for irregular levels of toxic or potentially harmful metals in the food, pharmaceutical industry, personal care, or human body. The driving factors growth of the market includes growing consumer awareness regarding packaged Food and personal care ingredients.
Heavy Metals Testing Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing consumer awareness regarding packaged food and personal care ingredients
The demand for high-quality and safe food has increased. This rising demand for high-quality food is caused by the food quality issues such as the Maggi case in 2015. It has been found that Maggi has a poisonous amount of lead. This case made a large consumer base aware, in response to market pressure and reaction to other factors such as health concerns, which have been seen due to 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 and the quality of the food they purchase. Consumers are very much aware of the food they eat, and food safety is their prime concern when choosing any brand or packaged food item. Food safety is important for consumers' health, the entire food industry, and regulatory authorities. With the rising concern about food safety among consumers, the government is taking initiatives to promote safe food to consumers.
- Increase in the occurrence of foodborne diseases
Foodborne illness is caused by the consumption of spoiled or contaminated food with pathogenic microorganisms or inappropriate chemical composition, leading to illness. The rising instances of foodborne disease among consumers globally create huge demand for food chemical and pathogen testing equipment. The primary reason behind the increasing amount of foodborne disease 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 point (HACCP) systems, quality control. Several reports state the history and future of these increasing foodborne diseases around the globe.
Opportunities
- Stringent laws and regulations concerning the safety of products
The strict rules and standards governing food testing and personal care product composition testing will propel the market's expansion because authorities want to ensure that the food on the market is safe for consumption. In order to ensure consumer food safety and the highest possible food quality, along with the possible side effects of using personal care products, the government is developing new laws and regulations. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 600 million people, or about 1 in 10, get diseases from eating tainted food. Therefore, to avoid food contamination and guarantee food safety worldwide, the governments of different countries have established strict laws for personal care products and food &beverage manufacturers.
- Technological advancements in heavy metals testing science
The technology significantly influences the North America heavy metals testing market by updating old methods and discovering new ways to detect and identify the presence of heavy metals in food articles or personal care products, improving quality and cost reduction. Continuous innovation in this segment and their increasing trend can lead the North America heavy metals testing market to face extreme growth in the near future. All segments, such as food, dietary supplements, beverages, feed products, and pharmaceuticals, rely on the advancement in heavy metals testing and analysis. Several limitations are present in the science of heavy metals testing. However, researchers and the scientific community are working hard to overcome the limitations. Due to these reasons, there is an opportunity being created for the North America heavy metals testing market.
Restraints/Challenges
- Rise in heavy metal pollution in water
Heavy metals are toxic metallic elements with a high density, specific gravity, and atomic weight. Expeditious expansion and industrial development near the rivers have led to more stress on the river, and with increased stress, the water becomes polluted, and worsening environmental health is observed. Development and industrialization are taking place rapidly, which are considered major sources of water contamination. With heavy metals in lakes, rivers, groundwater, and various water sources, water gets polluted by the increased concentration of heavy metals and metalloids in water bodies. Heavy metals have the property of environmental persistence and bioaccumulation through which these heavy metals enter into the aquatic system and impair not only the quality of the aquatic ecosystem but also human health.
- Lack of technical expertise and knowledge in operating proper testing
Laboratory testing is an important tool to assist manufacturers in evaluating the amount of heavy metal in food, water, personal care products, and clinical purposes. Recent advances in analytical techniques and expanded consumer access to environmental laboratories led to a rise in laboratory testing for various environmental toxicants, including metals. However, a lack of knowledge and skills among small enterprises and manufacturers of heavy metals testing products will affect the evaluation and inspection of products.
The main threat to human health from heavy metals is lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic exposure. Lack of experience and technical knowledge, especially in small enterprises, will not be able to diagnose contaminants properly, which can lead to food and water-borne diseases and cause severe problems.
Recent Development
- In September 2022, LGC opened The Native Antigen Company (TNAC) as part of LGC Clinical Diagnostics at the Oxford Technology Park. This new site offers TNAC expanded manufacturing capacity for producing infectious disease reagants, antibodies and assays, which are vital development in clinical diagnostics. It helped the company to expand its consumer base and support consumers
- In July 2022, LGC launched a free app-based cannabis testing training app CannLearn which provides training on various aspects of testing. It will be considered a great tool for people new to the industry to get the required cannabis knowledge
