UAE Food Safety Testing Market to grow with a CAGR of 7.79%

Increasing healthcare infrastructure and a supportive regulatory environment are the major drivers for the UAE Food Safety Testing Market.


According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Food Safety Testing Market Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunity and Forecast, 2018-2028”, UAE Food Safety Testing Market has valued at USD 0.23 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to witness an impressive growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 7.79% through 2028. This can be due to collaborations and partnerships among leading companies with a diverse approach to merge the expertise of individual companies and to strengthen their position.

The rise in foodborne illnesses is a significant driver for the increased demand for food safety testing. Instances of foodborne illnesses, outbreaks, and recalls can heighten consumer concerns about the safety of the food they consume. This increased awareness prompts consumers to demand more rigorous testing to ensure the safety of food products. Foodborne illnesses can have serious public health implications. To protect the health of the population, regulatory authorities and food industry stakeholders intensify efforts to detect and prevent contamination through robust food safety testing measures.

Foodborne illnesses can have severe consequences for businesses, including damage to reputation, legal liabilities, and financial losses. To mitigate these risks, businesses invest in comprehensive food safety testing to identify and address potential issues before products reach consumers. As the food supply chain becomes increasingly globalized, the risk of contamination and the spread of foodborne pathogens rises. Rigorous testing becomes essential to ensure that imported and domestically produced food items meet high safety standards.

In April 2022, The Central Testing Laboratory of the Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC) has introduced innovative inspection services, incorporated the latest technology and adhered to international standards to ensure the quality of food products in the market. Developed by a team of QCC's national workforce, these new programs aim to assess contaminants and pesticide residues in food, prioritizing the health and safety of consumers in Abu Dhabi. Initially launched by testing pesticide residues in water and eggs, this service, available to QCC partners, now boasts an expanded scope of technical capabilities, enabling the detection of a broader range of pesticide residues in various food items, including vegetables, fruits, honey, dates, meat, milk, fodder, baby food, and other products.

Resource constraints pose challenges in the UAE Food Safety Testing Market. These constraints may arise from limitations in terms of financial resources, skilled personnel, technological infrastructure, and other critical elements necessary for effective food safety testing. Adequate funding is essential for establishing and maintaining sophisticated food testing laboratories, acquiring advanced technologies, and conducting comprehensive testing programs. Resource limitations may hinder the ability to invest in state-of-the-art equipment and technologies. The effective implementation of food safety testing requires skilled personnel, including technicians, scientists, and laboratory staff. A shortage of qualified professionals can hinder the execution of testing procedures, data analysis, and the overall efficiency of the testing process. Resource constraints can limit the overall testing capacity of laboratories. This may result in delays, backlog issues, and challenges in meeting the growing demand for food safety testing services, particularly during peak seasons.


UAE Food Safety Testing Market is segmented based on Contaminant, Technology, Food Tested, and by region.  


Based on the Contaminant, UAE Food Safety Testing Market is segmented into Pathogens, Pesticides, GMOs, Mycotoxin, Allergens, Others.  Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain molds (fungi) that can contaminate various agricultural crops, especially grains and nuts. These compounds pose a significant risk to human and animal health when present in food and feed. Therefore, mycotoxin testing is a crucial component of food safety testing to ensure that food products meet regulatory standards and are safe for consumption. Certain molds, primarily belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium, have the capability to produce mycotoxins. These molds can infect crops in the field or during storage under conditions conducive to their growth. There are several types of mycotoxins, and some of the most common ones include aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone, and patulin. Each mycotoxin has its specific sources, such as Aspergillus flavus producing aflatoxins in peanuts and maize.
