Meat Speciation Testing Market

Meat Speciation Testing Market Size, Share, Growth (2022-2027) 

Meat Speciation Testing Market is expected to reach USD 2.22 billion by 2027 at a compound annual rate of 8.2% over the foreseen period.

Overview:

Meat Speciation Testing, in general, can be defined as the identification of animal species of a given meat. These tests are performed for a variety of reasons: economic, ethical, and safety. Food fraud occurs daily, from claims of false labels to the use of fillers and additives to improve profitability. In early 2013, pig and horse DNA was found in meat foods sold in some supermarket chains. This type of contamination deceives the client, but it also has ethical, health, and religious implications. For example, few remains of the antibiotics used in horses are highly toxic if ingested by humans. People in Muslim and Jewish communities have dietary restrictions related to the consumption of pork and by-products. For the reasons mentioned, the originality of the meat is very important for the health and well-being of the clients.

Recent Developments in Meat Speciation Testing Market:

1. Unikode is situated in Haiti, which has distilleries in the field of Les Cayes and 16000 cultivators who supply vetiver roots stock on a yearly basis. Unicode supports the principle of maintainable permaculture cropping and knows the need to value and compensate for the participation of small owners who are the vetiver root producers.

2. Eurofins launched an innovative analytical method based on DNA microchip technology, which can simultaneously detect and identify up to 21 animal species in feed and food.

Meat Speciation Testing Market Drivers and Restraints:

The global Meat Speciation Testing market is likely to grow steadily in the coming years due to the increasing number of cases of food fraud worldwide. The growing infection among consumers due to meat consumption is also fueling the demand for Meat Speciation Testing Market. The need to comply with various labeling laws will also boost demand for meat speciation testing in the following years. In addition to this, buyers' demand for certified products, religious beliefs, and strict rules and regulations are some of the other aspects driving the growth of the global Meat Speciation Testing market. The excessive processing of meat makes it difficult to identify the species; the risks of contamination and counterfeiting are also more significant. As a result, the Meat Speciation Testing market will experience considerable demand during the forecast period. The development of DNA-based detection methods mainly to identify and quantify meat species and other ingredients in products is one of the main drivers of growth in the global Meat Speciation Testing market. In addition, many species-specific test methods have been introduced for the detection of various types of meat, such as pork, beef, turkey, chicken, and lamb. Rapid growth in the poultry sector is also supposed to stimulate demand.

Increasing consumer awareness of the quality of meat products, the prevalence of heat-related illnesses such as avian flu, an alarming increase in the frequency of food contamination, implementation of strict regulatory directives and upon request of certified products are the main engines of growth. With the increasing technological improvements, several latest and easy-to-handle devices were introduced in the market, which makes the testing of meat products highly sophisticated.On the contrary, inadequate penetration of technological progress, especially in developing countries, lack of infrastructure and insufficient food control regulations could threaten market expansion. Also, the burgeoning raw meat segment is likely to offset the adverse effects of these restrictions.
