Global Food Allergen Testing Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Technology (Polymerase Chain Reaction, and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and By Food Type (Infant Food, Bakery & Confectionery, Processed Food, and Others), Forecast (2022-2028)

The global food allergen testing market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (2022-2028). The food allergen testing market will grow as people become more conscious about the safety of food ingredients and products. Food allergen testing usually uses immunoassay-based technologies, such as the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, which are analytical measurement techniques that use antibodies to test components. In addition, low cost, quick turnaround time, and accurate results of these testing are also propelling the growth of the market. However, polymerase chain reaction-based technology is predicted to grow with the highest CAGR due to technological advancements. Polymerase chain reaction testing is a DNA-based technology that can provide accurate results and can be used to test for a variety of allergies.

The rising cases of food allergy is one of the major drivers of the food allergen testing market. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the majority of food allergy reactions are caused by eight items, including milk, soy, eggs, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. In the US, over 32 million people have food allergies in 2018. Food allergies affect around 26 million (10.8%) adults in the US while the remaining 6 million were children. Environmental pollution and an unhealthy lifestyle are some of the reasons behind this rising prevalence of food allergies. These factors raise the demand for allergy diagnoses, which in turn drives the market growth.

Allergies can be triggered by bakery and confectionery items, infant food, processed foods, dairy products and alternatives, seafood and meat products, and other foods. Furthermore, when animal feed quality deteriorates, there is a risk that meat will cause allergies in people. Despite the fact that demand for animal feed additives capable of boosting feed quality is increasing in the food and beverage industry.
