Growing Consumer Demand for Label Transparency is expected to drive the Global Food Allergen Testing Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.
According to TechSci Research
report, “Food Allergen Testing Market - Global Industry
Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the Global Food Allergen Testing
Market stood at USD 807.43 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a
CAGR of 6.02% in the forecast period. The demand for food allergen
testing worldwide has witnessed significant growth in recent years. This market
expansion can be attributed to various factors, including the rising prevalence
of food allergies, stricter regulations on allergen labeling, and increasing
consumer demand for allergen-free products. Moreover, technological
advancements in testing methods such as PCR, ELISA, and rapid testing kits are
expected to further propel the market growth. The Global Food Allergen Testing
Market report presents a comprehensive evaluation of the market, encompassing a
thorough analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive
landscape, and factors influencing the market's dynamics.
The growing prevalence of
food allergies worldwide is driving the expansion of the global food allergen
testing market for medical establishments. Food allergies pose a serious public
health concern, affecting an increasing number of individuals globally.
According to the World Health Organization, up to 40% of the global population
has a food allergy, with industrial countries and major cities witnessing a
rising trend. These allergies can result in chronic illness and, in severe
cases, even be life-threatening. Consequently, food allergies have emerged as a
significant public health issue, affecting approximately 2-4% of adults and
6-8% of children. Furthermore, individuals with food allergies are two to four
times more likely to experience other allergic conditions like asthma or
eczema. In the United States alone, data from Food Allergy Research &
Education in 2021 indicates that 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children are
affected. The increasing number of food allergy cases has prompted global
public health authorities to implement substantial measures to mitigate
allergic reactions and their consequences. Government support, awareness
campaigns, private sector initiatives, and stakeholder involvement have
positioned food allergies at the forefront of allergy-related concerns.
Implementing stringent food safety regulations worldwide is crucial to ensuring
the safety and integrity of our food supply, free from harmful contaminants.
However, the lack of standardization in allergen testing practices presents
challenges in identifying and managing allergens in food products. Differences
in testing methods and technologies employed by laboratories can yield
inconsistent results, leading to confusion when interpreting test outcomes.
Additionally, developing economies face significant obstacles in food control
infrastructure and resources, which can adversely impact food safety and
allergen management. Limited capacity for monitoring and enforcing food safety
regulations, inadequate laboratory facilities for allergen testing, and
insufficient training and education on food safety and allergen management are
prevalent in these contexts.
Food allergies
pose significant challenges in many countries. According to data from the
Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America in 2021, allergies rank as the 6th
leading cause of chronic diseases in the United States. Common food allergies
encompass soy, peanut, milk, eggs, shellfish, seafood, nuts, almonds, and more.
Consequently, the demand for food allergen testing has witnessed an upward
trajectory in recent years. Additionally, various intolerances, including
lactose intolerance, prevail in numerous regions. The growing awareness
surrounding food allergies has contributed to the surge in food testing
activities.
It is worth
noting that children represent the most vulnerable population group to food
allergies. They are also two to four times more prone to developing other
allergic conditions such as asthma or eczema. The market under scrutiny is
propelled by the escalating number of reported food allergy cases to medical
institutions. Moreover, with the increasing prevalence of adverse non-toxic
reactions (hypersensitivity), the incidence rate of food allergies is rising
exponentially. Consequently, public health authorities worldwide have
implemented significant measures to mitigate allergic reactions and their
associated consequences.

Global Food Allergen Testing
Market is segmented into test type, source, technology, food type, regional
distribution, and company.
Based
on technology, the global food allergen testing market is classified into
immunoassay-based, polymerase chain reaction-based, biosensors-based, and
others. The immunoassay-based segment has emerged as the fastest growing segment
in the global Food Allergen Testing market and is projected to maintain its
supremacy throughout the forecast period. Immunoassays, a type of biochemical
test, utilize the binding of antibodies to antigens to detect and quantify
specific substances. Within the food industry, immunoassays are employed to
analyze both ingredients and the composition of the final product. Apart from
allergen testing, they are also utilized for contamination screening.
Leveraging immunological responses, these tests offer affordability, expedient
results, and high specificity. Enzyme-based immunoassays and radioimmunoassays
are the two primary types of immunoassays employed in food analysis.
Based on region, Europe is growing exponentially in the global food allergen testing market due to stringent regulatory frameworks, high consumer awareness, and a strong focus on food safety. Regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) enforce strict allergen labeling and testing standards across EU member states, compelling manufacturers to adopt advanced testing technologies. Additionally, European consumers are highly health-conscious and demand transparency in food labeling, further driving the adoption of allergen detection solutions. The presence of numerous certified food testing laboratories and ongoing R&D in food safety innovation also contribute to the region’s rapid market growth.

“The market is influenced by various factors, including the
substantial growth of global food trade, stringent government regulations, and
the increasing prevalence of food allergies. Governments around the world play
a crucial role in establishing laws and regulations that establish minimum
standards for food businesses in terms of marketing and food safety. As the
incidence of allergies rises, governments are enacting additional legislation
to regulate agricultural products and food processing facilities. Individuals
rely on these regulations to ensure proper labeling of food products and reduce
health risks. Consequently, the stringent government regulations are
contributing to the growth of the market. A notable market trend is the growing preference for the
ELISA method for allergy testing. ELISA is commonly utilized to detect
antibodies or antigens in biological materials, such as proteins or
glycoproteins. This method demonstrates high sensitivity in testing
applications, and a majority of market players offer ELISA-based products in
their portfolio.,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci
Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
