The North American food safety testing market is projected to reach $6.4 billion by 2020, at a combined annual growth rate of 7.4 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to a Research and Markets report, “North American Food Safety Market by Contaminant, Technology, Food Tested & Country – Trends & Forecast to 2020.”
In 2014, the U.S. dominated the North American food safety testing market. Food safety testing is a method of manufacturing, handling, and storing food and food products to prevent food-borne illnesses and poisoning. The North American food safety testing market has expanded due to the increased number of food-borne disease outbreaks and food contamination caused by pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others (Staphylococcus, Clostridium, and Bacillus).
The North American government has spent billions to recover from the pathogen epidemic. Food safety regulations in North America have been strictly implemented to eliminate the food contamination chances and unwanted occurrences of food-borne illnesses and poisoning.
