(MENAFN- iCrowdNewsWire)
The global microbiological testing market was valued at USD 2706.1 Mn in 2016 and is due to reach USD 5409.1 Mn by the end of the forecast period of 2014-2023, affirms Market Research Future (MRFR) in a detailed study.
Technological advancements in microbiology which expedite infection diagnosis and provide more reliable results have gained significant traction in recent years. Rising cases of infectious diseases have provided fodder for the growth of the microbiological testing market. The outbreak of several disease epidemic across the globe have spurred demand for microbiological testing services. This has resulted in an increase in research funding and a substantial increase in healthcare expenditure on a global scale. Surveillance Programs aimed at disease control and growing stringency of safety standards are other factors substantiating the growth of the global microbiology testing market . Furthermore, traditional laboratory techniques have become almost obsolete and have lost grounds to advanced microbiological testing methods.
The food industry is a major end user of the global microbiology testing market which generates continual demand for microbiological testing. Ensuring food safety is of paramount importance in the food industry. Food manufacturers incur huge economic losses due to contamination and spoilage from bacteria. Moreover, regulatory bodies mandate microbiological testing of food items before it is put up for sale in the market. Food manufacturers extensively utilize microbiological testing to quantify and detect pathogenic spoilage and microorganisms.
