The Rise In Prevalence Foodborne Illnesses have Increased the Sales of Food Pathogen Testing Kits

Published: Oct 2023

The global food pathogen testing market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). An increase in foodborne illness globally drives the demand for food pathogen testing solutions. These illnesses are often a result of consuming contaminated food items containing toxins, parasites, viruses, and chemicals. As per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 76 million foodborne illnesses, including 325,000 hospitalizations and 5,000 deaths, occur in the US each year. Salmonella, Campylobacter, Shigella, Cryptosporidium, and Shiga toxin Escherichia coli are the leading causes of foodborne infections in the US. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), foodborne illness costs the US economy $10-83 billion per year. Over 200 diseases are caused by eating food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, and chemical substances such as heavy metals. This growing public health concern has a significant socioeconomic impact due to stress on health-care system lost production, and harm to tourism and trade. These diseases contribute significantly to the global disease and mortality burden. Foodborne diseases are caused by food contamination and can occur at any point throughout the food production, delivery, and consumption chain. They can be caused by a variety of environmental contaminants, such as pollution in water, soil, or air, as well as hazardous food storage and processing.

Foodborne infections cause a wide range of illnesses, from diarrhoea to cancer. Most present as gastrointestinal difficulties, but they can also cause neurological, gynaecological, and immunological symptoms. Diarrhoeal diseases are a substantial concern in all countries, although the burden is borne disproportionately by low- and middle-income countries, as well as children under the age of five. Foods travel longer distances to get from farms to consumers, and pathogens can be introduced along the way. There is wider geographic distribution of centrally produced foods, so when something goes wrong during production, the impacts are widespread. Many outbreaks linked to poultry, eggs and meat can be traced back to farms where intensive production practices can lead to spread of highly virulent pathogens. Current generation people are more inclined towards food prepared outside the home, which can lead to the growing prevalence of foodborne disease due to poor hygiene in foodservice. Therefore, various governments have proper rules regarding the hygiene standards of the street-side food stall to prevent or minimize food infection cases. The rising awareness regarding the importance of high-quality food is anticipated to drive the global food pathogen testing market.
