In the last few decades, the global market for food allergy and intolerance products has gone from being a niche space to mainstream. As number of people suffering from food allergies are increasing, the market is witnessing promising growth.
Food Allergen Testing Market Drivers and Restraints Analysis:
Food Allergen Testing Market is mainly driven by the implementation of stringent food safety regulations, growing allergic reactions among consumers and international trade of food materials. Until a few years ago, the sales of foods for people suffering from food intolerance were confined largely to specialized wellness shops and pharmacies. However, that situation has since experienced a change with a few mainstream retail stores now offering these items. Due to the rise in the popularity of such products, there has been an expansion in the product pipeline as well. This has led to large multi-retail players launching their own name brands selling gluten-free foods.
Food Allergen Testing Market is witnessing a plethora of bakery items, sauces, cereals, pizzas, and meat items. Supermarkets have begun to advertise intolerance foods on the internet to gain new customers. Moreover, the increase in awareness and popularity of intolerance foods has led many restaurants into offering allergen-free food items on their menus. The growth of the global food allergens and intolerance testing market has thus taken off. Gluten- and wheat-free products are thus making advances into the mainstream food and beverages industry. Apart from those suffering from food-related intolerance and allergies, many individuals are opting for specialized food for general health and well-being reasons.
Detailed Segmentation of the Market:
Food Allergen Testing Market is segmented into source, technology and food tested. On the basis of source, it is segmented into Peanuts & Soy, Wheat, Milk, Eggs, Tree Nuts, and Seafood. The market for peanut and soy in this segment, accounts for the largest share. They have a wide range of applications and are used in preparation of various food products. Hence, allergies due to peanuts and soy has been on a rise, leading to an increase in the demand for allergen testing for safety. Soy is one of the complicated allergens to avoid as it is incorporated with a wide number of processed food and hence it is also known as "hidden allergen". Asian cuisine is a high-risk zone for people allergic to Soy due to excessive use of Soy during the preparation of the food. On the basis of technology, it is segmented into PCR-Based and Immunoassay-Based (Elisa). ELISA is one of the most widely used immunoassays in food allergen testing. This technology is economic and is the most commonly used technology to detect and quantify allergens in food products. The key advantages of this technology are Low detection limits and high analytic selectivity. It is projected to grow at the most in this segment. On the basis of food tested it is segmented into Bakery & Confectionery and Infant Food.
Geographical Segmentation and Regional Presence of the Market:
On the basis of geography, the market is analyzed under various regions namely North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East and Africa. North-America currently stands as the leading region in the global food allergens and intolerance testing market. The incidence of food allergy has risen over the last few years here, thereby enabling the regional market to emerge as a lucrative space for intolerance foods. The European region is projected to be the fastest growing market due to increase in allergic reactions among its consumers and the growing market for processed food. European countries have recorded many issues related to food allergens as a result, stringent policies have been established to achieve complete food safety.
