According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Dairy Testing Market is accounted for $5.60 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $11.05 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Dairy testing denotes an extensive variety of testing of milk-related products to maintain the quality and safety of the products to avoid harmful effects caused by food spoiling and food-related diseases. The testing helps determine the shelf life of various products by examining the contents, appearance, taste, and smell.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Foodborne illness
Factor such as the increase in foodborne illnesses drives the market growth as there is growing concern over the quality and safety of dairy products used for human consumption. Moreover, increased emphasis is being placed on the microbiological and chemical analysis of milk and dairy products designed to evaluate quality and to ensure safety and regulatory compliance, which has resulted in the introduction of legislation for the rigorous testing of milk and dairy products, thus driving the market for dairy testing.
Restraint:
Insufficient Subsidiary Infrastructure in Developing Economies
The lack of updated standards is inhibiting the growth of the market for food sample testing. Inadequate basic supporting infrastructure to set up testing laboratories also acts as a restraint to market growth, especially in developing countries. The market in developing countries is highly fragmented and dominated by small milk farms. Hence, as milk and dairy products pass through the processing, storage, and distribution chain, they face a higher risk of exposure to contamination or adulteration. The testing of food samples requires proper enforcement measures and coordination between market stakeholders, as well as supporting infrastructure. However, several developing economies lack these requirements; this acts as a restraint on the growth of the market.
Opportunity:
Technological Advancements in Testing Industry
The market is witnessing several technological innovations with major players offering newer, faster, and more accurate technologies such as LC (Liquid Chromatography), HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). The focus on decreasing lead time, sample utilization, cost of testing, and drawbacks associated with several technologies have resulted in the development of new technologies in spectrometry and chromatography. The wide-scale adoption of these technologies provides an opportunity for medium- and small-scale laboratories to expand their service offerings and compete with large market players in the industry, as these technologies offer benefits such as higher sensitivity, accurate results, reliability, multi-contaminant, and non-targeted screening with low turnaround time. The market is witnessing several technological innovations with major players offering newer, faster, and more accurate technologies such as LC (Liquid Chromatography), HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry).
Threat:
Lack of Coordination of Food Safety Standards
The increasing number of national standards for food safety management has led to uncertainty and created the need for their harmonization. The leading industries in the food sector have recognized the higher cost and inefficiencies created by the development of multiple food safety standards. Audits are conducted to ensure compliance with government regulatory legislations. Neither ingredient suppliers nor retailers or food service companies are well served when duplicative standards and audits raise the total costs for food certification without enhancing or ensuring the overall safety of food. Industrial experts have often suggested uniform and harmonized food safety standards to reduce the multiplicity of food laws for better efficiency. To eliminate duplication and overlapping of multiple standards, the government and private-sector stakeholders should work together to create transparent and uniform food certification standards.
Milk & Milk Powder segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
Milk & milk powder may be contaminated, owing to poor hygiene conditions during processing, storage, and transportation. Milk powder is a direct substitute for fluid milk; therefore, used in wide-ranging applications, comprises, bakery, dairy, and infant nutrition. Powdered milk is made from dehydrated, pasteurised milk, whereas fresh milk is liquidised. It comes in various forms including as non-fat, or dry milk. It is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness, which helps preserve it.
The Chromatography & Spectrometry segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The most extensively used chromatography & spectrometry testing technologies include HPLC, GC (gas chromatography), LC, MS (mass spectrometry), and LC-MS/MS. These methods are used for the detection of almost all targets to be tested, including pathogens, food allergens, pesticide residues, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and veterinary drug residues. Chromatography also allows companies to analyse the product for several nutrients like proteins, vitamins, and preservatives. This enables proper nutritional testing of the product, and ensures that details on labels are accurate and comply with all government regulations.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share; China is Asia Pacific's fastest expanding market for food safety testing. Food safety events have gotten a lot of attention in the media. The growing number of food safety issues recorded in China over the last decade has pushed authorities to take steps to ensure food safety. The Chinese dairy industry has established a greater safety consciousness through dependable and effective molecular technologies. Food contamination incidents, particularly food poisoning outbreaks, are a major public health concern in Australia. Regulators are increasingly scrutinizing imported food products.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR; the major producers of milk in the EU province are Germany, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain. Together these countries account for around 70% of the total milk production. Globalization has increased the international trade of milk and dairy products and has had a major impact on the global dairy supply. But, the increase in trade has resulted in a higher risk of contaminated milk and dairy products reaching dairy producers and processors, and end consumers in distant markets due to instances of cross-contamination, exposure to toxins, microorganisms, and other contaminants. Manufacturers have been using dairy testing services to ensure the safety and quality of their products and to comply with international standards.
