The US food pathogen testing market is projected to reach $10.79 billion by 2020, growing at a rate of 7.8 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to researchers at MarketsandMarkets.
A recent study reveals the growing level of foodborne illnesses due to food contamination and rising consumer inclination toward better quality and safe food has led to the rise in the food pathogen testing market for varied food products. Researchers say the market will also be influenced by rising trade, implementation of stringent food safety regulations, and media influence on consumer awareness for food safety.
