North America Mycotoxin and Food Testing Market was valued at USD 410.7 million in 2021, growing at a high CAGR of 10.9% from 2022 to 2028 to reach USD 847.3 million by 2028. Food safety practices in the food sector have emerged due to rising consumer demand for fresh and acceptable food products. However, the high frequency of foodborne disease outbreaks in a number of countries, including wealthy ones like the United States, has prompted increased concern and rigorous research into foodborne pathogens. As a result, there is a higher demand for food microbiological testing. The goal of microbiological testing is to discover and limit the growth of dangerous bacteria that can cause food spoiling and hence assure foodborne disease safety. It is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 12.1%. Due to the growing prevalence of Fusarium graminearum species of fungi that produces DON toxin. The food segment, Cereals, grains, and pulses, has a significant market share and are expected to increase at a CAGR of 11.7% in the future years. Because cereals, grains, and pulses are utilized in various food processing  and food packaging equipment products, they are more sensitive to the co-occurrence of mycotoxins, resulting in a higher demand for testing. However, a Lack of awareness about the quantity required for mycotoxin testing, Lack of information in terms of sample standards hampers the Mycotoxin and Food Testing market.

key developments:

In October 2019, SGS expanded its new food microbiological testing lab in the United States. The 2,000-square-foot microbiological testing facility utilizes an information technology platform to offer food producers, manufacturers, and suppliers a wide range of testing services across every food category. In June 2020, Eurofins and QFresh Lab, an analytical testing laboratory that covers the global fresh food testing market, announced a strategic agreement. Eurofins' long-standing range of pesticides, heavy metals, nutrition, and microbiological testing, as well as food safety training, has been expanded due to Qfresh's nationwide network of laboratories dedicated to the fresh food industry.
