Mexico Food Safety Testing Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.81% through 2029

The expansion of the food processing industry and the increasing adoption of advanced testing technologies is expected to drive the Mexico Food Safety Testing Market growth in the forecast period, 2025-2029


According to TechSci Research report, “Mexico Food Safety Testing Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2019-2029F”, the Mexico Food Safety Testing Market stood at USD 81.07 Million in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 113.97 Million by 2029 with a CAGR of 5.81% during the forecast period.

The food processing industry in Mexico has seen significant growth, driven by increasing domestic demand and a robust export market. The processed food sector, which includes packaged snacks, ready-to-eat meals, dairy products, and beverages, requires stringent safety testing to ensure product quality and compliance with regulatory standards. As industry expands, the complexity of the food supply chain also increases, raising the risk of contamination at various stages of processing. To mitigate these risks, food processing companies are investing heavily in food safety testing to monitor contaminants like pathogens, chemical residues, heavy metals, and allergens. The growth of the food processing industry is thus a major driver of demand for comprehensive testing services, as manufacturers aim to maintain high standards of food safety and meet the expectations of both domestic and international consumers.

With growing awareness of new and emerging food safety risks, there is an increasing demand for testing contaminants beyond traditional pathogens and chemical residues. The market is witnessing a rise in the testing of emerging contaminants such as microplastics, antibiotic residues, and heavy metals, especially in seafood and agricultural products. This trend is driven by heightened consumer concerns about the long-term health effects of these contaminants and their prevalence in various food products. For example, as the use of pesticides and antibiotics in agriculture and aquaculture remains widespread, there is a growing focus on testing for residues that could pose health risks. The inclusion of testing for emerging contaminants is expanding the scope of food safety testing services in Mexico and pushing companies to adopt more comprehensive testing protocols.

As awareness of these contaminants grows, regulatory authorities and food producers are increasingly prioritizing the identification and testing of such substances in food products. The growing demand for comprehensive safety testing is driven by stricter food safety regulations, consumer concerns about food quality, and an increasing understanding of how such contaminants can affect human health, especially with long-term exposure.

The adoption of advanced testing technologies, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), is revolutionizing the food safety testing market in Mexico. These methods provide rapid, accurate, and sensitive detection of contaminants, allowing for quicker response times and more effective quality control. The increasing availability of these technologies has made it easier for food producers and testing laboratories to conduct comprehensive safety assessments. Technological advancements have also enabled the detection of a broader range of contaminants, including emerging foodborne pathogens and new chemical residues. The ongoing innovation in testing methods is a significant driver of market growth, as it enhances the reliability and efficiency of food safety testing.

The Mexico Food Safety Testing Market is segmented into contaminants, food tested, regional distribution, and company.

In 2023, microbiological contaminants are dominating the contaminants segment of the Mexico Food Safety Testing Market. The rise in food imports and exports has also amplified the focus on microbiological testing. Mexico, being a major exporter of fresh produce and seafood, faces strict food safety standards from countries like the United States and the European Union. Import regulations mandate thorough microbiological testing to prevent the entry of contaminated products, ensuring compliance with international food safety standards. As a result, domestic producers and processors are increasingly investing in microbiological testing to meet these stringent requirements and avoid costly rejections or recalls. Additionally, there is a growing consumer preference for organic and pesticide-free fruits and vegetables, increasing the need for comprehensive testing to verify claims of low chemical residues. As consumer awareness around food safety rises, there is heightened scrutiny on the use of pesticides and fertilizers, prompting producers to conduct more frequent and detailed testing.

Based on region, in 2023, Central North Mexico emerged as the second most dominant region in the Mexico Food Safety Testing Market, driven by its robust agricultural and livestock sectors. The region, encompassing states like Jalisco, Aguascalientes, and San Luis Potosí, is a major hub for production of dairy, poultry, meat, and a variety of fresh produce. This diverse agricultural output necessitates extensive food safety testing to monitor contaminants, such as pathogens and chemical residues, especially as these products are integral to both domestic consumption and exports. Jalisco is a leader in dairy and poultry production, making food safety a critical priority to prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses. Central North Mexico is also home to significant food processing industries that handle a large volume of perishable goods, requiring stringent safety measures to maintain product quality. Many producers in this region target international markets, including the United States and Canada, where stringent food safety standards are enforced. As a result, companies in Central North Mexico are investing heavily in testing and quality control to comply with these international regulations and minimize the risk of export rejections. This focus on maintaining high safety standards has solidified the region's position in the food safety testing market.

“The Mexico Food Safety Testing Market is expanding due to the rise in consumer demand for organic and sustainably produced food. As more consumers prioritize health-conscious and environmentally friendly food choices, there is a significant shift toward organic, non-GMO, and sustainably sourced products. This growing preference has led to stricter regulations and higher standards for food safety testing, particularly for products labeled as organic or free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). To meet these demands, food producers are increasingly relying on advanced testing technologies to verify the authenticity and safety of their products. With concerns over pesticide residues, chemical contaminants, and other harmful substances, testing for organic food safety has become a crucial part of the supply chain. The expansion of certification programs for organic products and the rising export potential of organic goods also contribute to the demand for comprehensive food safety testing in Mexico”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based management consulting firm.
