Stringent Food & Feed Safety Regulations are Driving the Market for Mycotoxin Testing

 The global mycotoxin testing market is estimated to be valued at USD 858 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 1,157 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.1%. The demand for mycotoxin testing is significantly increasing due to factors such as growing recalls and border rejections with growth in international food trade, stringent regulations across various countries, and changing climatic conditions. The high cost associated with the installation of technologies inhibits the growth of the mycotoxin testing market. The European region is projected to account for the largest market, owing to the growing prevalence of Fusarium toxins due to changing climatic conditions, coupled with the strengthening of the feed and food mycotoxin testing policies by the contributed efforts of Control Laboratories (CLs), National reference laboratories (NLRs), and EU Reference Laboratories (EURLs).

Increasing food trade across borders of emerging markets, launch of advanced technologies for the detection of mycotoxins, rise in co-occurrence of mycotoxins, launch of economic multi-toxin analysis systems, and increase in demand for cereal products and oats and the emergence of new mycotoxins in agricultural commodities such as enniatins, beauvericin, moniliformin, fusaproliferin, fusaric acid, culmorin, butenolide, sterigmatocystin, emodin, mycophenolic acid, alternariol, alternariol monomethyl ether, and tenuazonic acid prove to be some of the opportunities in this market.
