How Rising Concerns Regarding Food Safety Contributing in Microbial Identification Market Growth?

Numerous pathogenic microorganisms, such as parasites, viruses, or fungi cause infectious diseases that can spread from one person to another directly or indirectly.  Some common examples of these infections are tuberculosis, AIDS, malaria, measles, and hepatitis.

The World Health Organization reported that in 2014, around 9 million people were affected with tuberculosis and 1.5 million died because of the disease across the globe. Similarly, in the same year, 114,900 people lost their lives to measles, and every year, more than 780,000 and 500,000 people die due to complications associated with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, respectively. Infectious diseases are one of the most common causes of global deaths and pose a huge burden on healthcare resources and result in high healthcare expenditure. Therefore, for the timely identification of the causative organism and proposal of a treatment plan, the need for microbial identification is becoming dire.

Microbial identification requires various products, such as consumables, services, and instruments & software. In the coming years, the highest demand is expected to be generated for consumables, which majorly include reagents and kits and plates and media. As microbial identification most commonly relies on phenotypic methods, such as observing changes in culture and media, consumables, such as pipettes, petri dishes, covers, tubes, centrifuge tubes media, vials, reagents, and slides, are most commonly used in laboratories for establishing the quality of the reagents being used for experiments. This is expected to contribute to the microbial identification market growth immensely, with a P&S Intelligence study predicting the CAGR to be 6.0% in the coming years.

In today’s times, concerns regarding food safety and quality is growing. Due to the unhealthy and polluted environment, an increased presence of toxins, pathogens, and chemicals is being observed in food products. As per the University of Rhode Island Department of Food Safety Education, around 33 million people suffer from foodborne illnesses each year in North America. In order to establish the safety of food products, one of the most reliable methods is using microbiological techniques for microbial identification. Many food safety regulatory authorities and agencies deploy these techniques as standard operating procedures, which makes microbial identification imperative.
