Market Definition
Foodborne illness is caused by consuming spoiled or contaminated food with additives, pesticides, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, and others, leading to infection. Foodborne illnesses can be spread through various factors such as improper food handling, lack of awareness, and many more. These disease-causing factors must be tested before the consumption of the food. Chromatography can be used at various stages of the food chain, from determining the quality of food to detecting additives, pesticides, and other harmful contaminants.
Europe Chromatography Food Testing Market Dynamics
Drivers
-
Rise in number of foodborne illnesses
Foodborne diseases are caused by consuming contaminated food or drink. There are more than 250 known foodborne diseases. The majority of the infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and some are caused by chemicals and toxins. Escherichia coli are the major bacteria species that live in human intestines.
-
Increasing adoption of chromatography testing techniques
Chromatography is an important biophysical technique that enables the separation, identification, and purification of the components of a mixture for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Today, chromatography allows the food industry to provide accurate information about the nutrients in particular food and much more.
-
An increase in the amount of food recalls and food adulterations
A food recall is an action taken in order to remove from sale, distribution, and consumption of a particular food that may pose a safety risk to consumers. A food recall may be initiated as a result of a report or complaint from a variety of sources, such as manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, government agencies, and consumers.
Opportunities
-
Technological advancements in the testing industry
The technological trends in chromatography food testing which is driving the market growth in recent times are Artificial intelligence (AI), digitalization, connectivity technologies, and smart automated technologies fuelled by data & machine learning. In pre-pandemic times, interest in the benefits of smart and automated technologies was high.
Restraints/Challenges
- High cost associated with chromatography testing & presence of alternative food testing technologies
However, at present, there are different types of chromatography testing, such as paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography, membrane chromatography, and dye-ligand chromatography. These chromatography testing are widely used in the food, biopharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and in bioprocessing industries among others. Chromatography testing is used in various industries for the accurate result obtained post-testing, but chromatography testing is costly and takes much time in the testing. The other factor that may impede chromatography testing used in the food industry is the cost associated with it.
COVID-19 Impact on Europe Chromatography Food Testing Market
COVID-19 had a positive effect on the market as food testing services boomed. As chromatography food testing systems and services were in high demand among consumers due to COVID-19, the need to detect contamination and pathogens was a mandate for the food industry to follow. This boosted the growth of various types of food testing services, including chromatography food testing.
Recent Development
- In June 2022, PerkinElmer, Inc. launched next generation, automated gas chromatography platform solution. The key features of this solution were its automated gas chromatography (GC), headspace sampler, and GC/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) solution
