Asia Pacific Food Safety Testing Regional Insights

The geographic scope of the Asia Pacific Food Safety Testing refers to the specific areas in which a business operates and competes. Understanding local distinctions, such as diverse consumer preferences (e.g., demand for specific plug types or battery backup durations), varying economic conditions, and regulatory environments, is crucial for tailoring strategies to specific markets. Businesses can expand their reach by identifying underserved areas or adapting their offerings to meet local demands. A clear market focus allows for more effective resource allocation, targeted marketing campaigns, and better positioning against local competitors, ultimately driving growth in those targeted areas.

The Asia Pacific packaging robots market is projected to reach US$ 7,422.6 million by 2028 from an estimated value of US$ 4,273.4 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2021 to 2028. The major factors driving the market's growth are the growing innovations of food safety testing and the use of whole-genome sequencing (WWGS) in food safety testing in Asia Pacific. However, the high deployment cost of packaging robots hampers the market growth.

Regardless of the restraints posed by the complexity in techniques pertaining to food safety testing, food labs are increasingly developing new and improved testing methods that make the current testing methods quicker and more affordable. The focus on drawbacks associated with several technologies, testing cost, sample utilization, and reducing lead time has resulted in development of new technologies and technological innovation. Greater adoption of these technologies is an opportunity for small and medium-scale laboratories to compete with large market players in the industry and expand their service offerings. These technologies offer non-targeted screening with low turnaround time, multi-contaminant testing, better reliability, higher accuracy in results, and higher sensitivity. The real-time PCR tests give more reliable results since they are more sensitive and provide results within 5–12 hours. ICP-MS can produce high-quality data within a few minutes for elements with a wide range of atomic masses, usually helpful in detecting chemical residue or heavy metals in seafood. NIRS is a rapid testing technology used for the quantitative determination of food constituents in most food items and examine textures without any physical incursion or marker compounds. The machinery required for NMR spectroscopy is expensive; however, the international players involved in food safety testing market are heavily investing in the technology to make it available in regions such as Asia Pacific. Moreover, the ease in supply chain enables food manufacturers to access technology across the globe by sending food samples to obtain accurate results. Also, genome sequencing (WGS) depicts an organism’s complete DNA design, helping food analysts understand variations between and within species. The technology is therefore helping food safety testing market players to differentiate between organisms with utmost precision. Its ability to differentiate between even closely related organisms allows avoidance of additional illnesses and provides the opportunity to stop outbreaks sooner.

The Asian economies have been hit hard due to the COVID-19 pandemic. India recorded the highest number of cases. The emergence of new COVID-19 variants in India, Thailand, and other Asian economies has prolonged the effect of the pandemic upon the food & beverages industry, as the SARS-CoV-2 is highly infectious and could possibly travel through food surfaces. The governments of various Asia Pacific economies are taking possible steps to restrict the spread of the virus by announcing a country-wide lockdown, which directly impacts the growth of the food safety testing market. Meat and poultry processing facilities faced distinctive challenges with respect to the virus as workers in several facilities worldwide were found to be infected. Moreover, in November 2020, China reported that a frozen pork knuckle sample imported from China had triggered a new coronavirus case in China. Such cases of food-related COVID-19 infections have created apprehensions among consumers and governments alike, leading to a greater demand for food safety testing to mitigate health risks.
