(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- The global food safety testing market was valued at USD 24.24 billion in 2024 and is projected to rise from USD 25.96 billion in 2025 to USD 44.06 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.85% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2032.

North America dominated the global market with a 43.52% share in 2024, supported by stringent food regulations, advanced testing technologies, and strong enforcement of safety standards.

Leading companies operating in the global market include SGS S.A., Eurofins Scientific SE, Bureau Veritas, Intertek Group PLC Solutions, and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., among others.

Food safety testing plays a vital role in ensuring that food products are safe for human consumption throughout the supply chain. It involves a series of scientific assessments to analyze the microbiological, physical, and chemical composition of food, ensuring compliance with regulatory safety standards.
As international food trade continues to expand - both to meet domestic demand in countries with limited agricultural output and to facilitate exports from food-producing nations - the need for rigorous food testing has intensified. The increasing dependence on imported food and beverages is expected to drive the adoption of advanced food safety testing methods, supporting global efforts to safeguard public health and maintain consumer trust.
