Pesticide Residue Testing Market Study Highlights, 2023
Pesticide Residue Testing Market Outlook to 2030
Pesticide Residue Testing Market Overview
The pesticide residue testing process identifies the pesticide residue levels in food products through different chemical and microbiological analyses to minimize the risk of negative health impacts of foods consumed. The tests are designed to mitigate risks in the manufacturing process, enhance productivity across the value chain, and assist in the overall improvement in quality. Food or feed may contain a pesticide chemical residue and testing the amount residue level of a specific pesticide chemical is required to ensure it is below the maximum levels permitted by governments.
Pesticides are widely used in agriculture for controlling pests. The chemical compounds used to kill, repel or control weeds, animals, and microorganisms are widely used on agricultural products, to maximize crop output and to protect produce during storage and transportation. However, the Overuse of pesticides can lead to dangerous levels of hazardous chemicals entering the food chain.
The rising concerns about food-borne illness have led to the constant evolution of regulations governing food safety standards. Further, as consumers shift towards eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which is essential for developing and maintaining a healthy body, it is essential to ensure no illegal pesticide residues are included in foods.
According to the FAO – Food and Agricultural Organization, the global food system will need to meet an expected 35% rise in demand by 2030. As the global food supply increases, the demand for testing systems across the globe is becoming more important.
Pesticide Residue Testing Market Trend - Advancements in Testing Technologies
LC-MS/GC-MS, HPLC, gas chromatography, immunoassay, and other test kits are the key technologies widely used for testing residues of organochlorines, organophosphates, organonitrogens & carbamates, pyrethroids, fumigants and others in food. The pesticide residues are usually analyzed by the following methods: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Coupled (GC-MS), especially for volatile compounds in complex samples, and Liquid Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Coupled (LC-MS), suitable for non-volatile compounds (thermally unstable molecules).
Of these, liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has high sensitivity and is useful across wide applications. Further, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is also one of the largest technologies used for pesticide residue detection in food and beverages.
Companies are significantly investing in testing for residues of various types of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and acaricides across raw agricultural products, processed foods, plant tissues, spices, herbs, nutraceuticals, soils, and water. Significant R&D investment is being spent to generate accurate and timely service at the lowest cost possible. Tests using fewer samples for pesticide testing and analysis are widely being developed.
Companies such as Thermo Fischer offer start-to-finish workflows using methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) solutions that offer enhanced productivity and improved efficiency for targeted and non-targeted screening of pesticide residues in food matrices. Further, they are widely marketing automated sample extraction techniques such as accelerated solvent extraction, automated solid phase extraction, and automated evaporation.
PerkinElmer Inc. LC 300 UHPLC System Liquid chromatography technology with superior performance and sensitivity is widely marketed by the company. Mettler Toledo and others market their capabilities of eliminating major sources of error, minimizing the number of substances, automatic calculations and documentation, and easy system integration. Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences developed a rapid detection system that can track multiple pesticide residues.
Pesticide Residue Testing Market Opportunities- Consumer awareness towards food safety and quality issues
Amidst increasing awareness among customers, and budding awareness among people of the health issues associated with contaminated foods and ingredients, the prominence of food safety testing. The overuse of pesticides, fertilizers, radiation, sewer sludge, and others results in health-related challenges for consumers. Governments across countries are coming up with certifications and national safety standards to limit the use of harmful substances. Further, small and large retailers are emphasizing more on pesticide-free or low-pesticide products. Lucrative market potential has pushed these retailers to demand testing certifications from food processing companies and food service organizations, which will support testing laboratories and other companies.
Pesticide Residue Testing Market Share Analysis-
The processed foods market is one of the high-prospect markets in the food and beverages industry, driven by a growing middle-class population, consumer preference for quick meal solutions, clean labeling foods, and e-commerce growth. The trend towards these foods is influenced by macroeconomic factors such as disposable incomes, demographic factors such as young population growth, and food preferences.
The organized retail market continues to grow steadily despite the penetration of online channels. RTE dinner foods are largely made available through organized retail stores as most consumers find these stores convenient for shopping. Urbanization and increasing disposable incomes in emerging countries coupled with the rapid expansion of supermarkets in these markets encourage market growth.
Among different product types, frozen foods continue to dominate the global market, driven by a wide range of products marketed in the category, the ability to retain freshness, and marketing in diverse flavors and ingredients.
Developing countries with large youth population bases are witnessing a tendency to snack frequently and interest in on-the-go foods. Further, millennials often prefer widely on protein-rich creamy new foods, which supports the consumption of dairy foods. Further, the working-class women population is increasing in the countries, and busy lifestyles support the consumption of prepared foods, which typically include dairy-based butter, cheese, and others.
