Food Authenticity Testing: An Approach towards Reducing Food Frauds

Food authenticity testing has diverse applications across the food industry. It helps ensure the accuracy and integrity of food products by detecting adulteration, mislabeling, and contamination. The benefits of food authenticity testing include protecting consumer health, maintaining regulatory compliance, safeguarding brand reputation, and preventing economic losses. The important features of food authenticity testing include advanced analytical techniques, such as DNA sequencing and spectroscopy, which enable the identification of specific markers and unique chemical profiles. This testing provides confidence to consumers, regulators, and manufacturers, promoting transparency, trust, and the overall integrity of the food supply chain.

According to Data Bridge Market Research, the Global Food Authenticity Testing Market accounted for 7.50 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 15.28 billion by 2029. The market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 9.3% in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

“Increasing need for food safety measures boosts the market’s growth”

The increasing need for food safety measures drives the growth of the food authenticity testing market. With rising concerns regarding food fraud and mislabeling, there is a growing demand for accurate and reliable methods to ensure the authenticity and quality of food products. Food authenticity testing helps identify adulteration, substitution, and contamination in food items, enabling consumers and regulatory bodies to make informed decisions. This increasing focus on food safety and quality drives the adoption of food authenticity testing solutions, fueling the growth of the market.

What restraints the growth of the global authenticity testing market?

“Lack of modernization in technology restraints the market’s growth”

The lack of technological modernization hinders the growth of the food authenticity market. Outdated testing methods and equipment can limit food authenticity testing processes' efficiency, accuracy, and speed. Without advanced technology, such as DNA sequencing, isotopic analysis, or spectroscopy techniques, detecting sophisticated food fraud and ensuring comprehensive authenticity assessments becomes challenging. The absence of modernized technology impedes the ability to keep up with evolving fraud techniques, which restrains the growth of the food authenticity market.
