Egypt Food Safety Testing Market is expected to grow
at an impressive rate during the forecast period, 2024-2028. This is on account
of the rising demand for safe food supplies, and the rising population
suffering from food illness, specifically from food contamination.
Additionally, the demand for food safety testing in increasing in Egypt due to
various factors such as growing consumer awareness, government regulations, and
the rise of the food safety testing industry.
Moreover, increasing health consciousness among
consumers is leading to increased demand for food hygiene and is leading to the
growing demand for food safety testing market in Egypt.
Growing Prevalence of Food -Borne Illness
Infectious or poisonous in nature, foodborne illnesses
are typically brought on by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemicals that
enter the body through tainted food or drink. Foodborne pathogens can result in
life-threatening diseases including meningitis or severe diarrhea. The most
prevalent foodborne infections that afflict millions of people each year, often
with severe and fatal consequences, include Salmonella, E. coli, and
Campylobacter. Food-borne disease leads to fever, headache, nausea, vomiting,
abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Also, chemical contamination can result in
short-term illnesses like acute poisoning or long-term conditions like cancer,
and listeria infection, which causes miscarriages in pregnant women, etc.
Foodborne illnesses can also cause permanent impairment and even death. For
instance, consumption of raw food includes raw animal products, such as meat
and meat products, which is among the common causes for food borne illness.
Increasing consumption of meat and meat products are therefore indirectly
creating a huge opportunity for the food safety testing market in order to
maintain the healthiness of food and is therefore expected to experience a
growth in the food safety testing market in the coming years.
Rising Need for Ensuring Food Safety and Hygiene in
Food Supply Chain
The food safety testing industry in Egypt has been
growing rapidly in recent years, driven by increased public awareness of food
safety issues and the government's efforts to improve food safety regulations.
The industry provides testing services to food producers, processors, and
retailers to ensure that their products are safe for consumption.
The Egyptian government has implemented several
initiatives to improve food safety standards in the country. In 2017, the
government launched the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA), which is
responsible for regulating and monitoring the food industry in Egypt. The NFSA
has introduced new regulations and standards for food producers and processors,
and it conducts regular inspections and testing to ensure compliance and is
therefore keeping more attention towards food safety testing and is
experiencing a boost in the food safety testing market.
In addition to government initiatives, the food safety
testing industry in Egypt has been supported by private companies that offer a
range of testing services. These services include microbiological testing to
detect harmful bacteria and viruses, chemical testing to identify contaminants such
as pesticides and heavy metals, and sensory testing to assess the quality of
food products.
Major food safety testing industry in Egypt includes
companies such as the Central Laboratory for Food and Feed (CLFF), which is a
government-owned testing laboratory that provides a wide range of testing
services for food and feed products. The CLFF has several branches throughout
Egypt and is accredited by international organizations such as ISO/IEC 17025
and ISO 22000. Another company such as Egyptian Organization for
Standardization and Quality (EOS), which is a government organization that
develops and implements food safety standards and regulations also provides
testing services to food producers and processors and thus is among the key
players holding the food safety testing market in the higher demand phase and
is thereby contributing to the growth of the food safety testing market in
Egypt
Rising Government Awareness
The Egyptian government has implemented several
initiatives to improve food safety in the country. One of the major initiatives
include the establishment of the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) in 2017,
which is responsible for regulating and monitoring the food industry in Egypt.
The NFSA has introduced new regulations and standards for food producers and
processors, and it conducts regular inspections and testing to ensure
compliance. The government's efforts to improve food safety are driving demand
for testing services, which is boosting the food safety testing industry in
Egypt.
Increased public awareness of food safety issues,
along with government initiatives to improve food safety regulations, is
creating the demand for food safety testing market. Also, growing presence of
private companies which offer a range of testing services is exhibiting the
growth of the food safety testing market and is expected to continue to evolve
with production of more innovative testing methods and technologies to ensure
that the food consumed in Egypt is safe and of high quality.
Increasing public awareness
The public in Egypt is becoming more aware of food
safety issues and is demanding safer food products. This has created a need for
food testing services that can ensure that food products are safe for
consumption. As public awareness of food safety issues continues to grow, the
demand for food safety testing services is expected to increase. Consumers in
Egypt are increasingly demanding high-quality food products. This has created a
need for testing services that can ensure that food products are of high
quality. As demand for high-quality food products continues to grow, the demand
for food safety testing services is expected to increase.
Increased Investment in Food Safety
There has been an increase in investment in food
safety testing in Egypt, with both public and private entities investing in new
technologies and equipment to improve testing capabilities. This investment has
led to the development of innovative testing methods and technologies, such as
biosensors and nanotechnology, to detect contaminants and pathogens in food
products more accurately and quickly.
Microbial analysis enables one to evaluate the
efficacy and safety of components, partially made foods, finished goods, and
processes, regardless of the nature of the food product, microbiological
testing laboratories, and is performed with the most advanced technology under
knowledgeable personnel, guided by the testing protocols. Microbial testing
includes food pathogen testing, functional food testing, quick food
microbiological testing, and food hygiene testing among the food safety testing
methods.
Increasing Need for Customer Awareness Regarding Food
Allergens
Due to rising demand for testing food allergies,
pollutants, and the integrity and authenticity of food and food products, there
is an increased need for food testing. Food safety testing is becoming
increasingly popular among the major food manufacturing companies and the food
products sector, along with testing of the nutritional & composition
analysis of food items.
Additionally, as part of a control program, food
safety testing companies use independent testing solutions to detect and
quantify the presence of allergens in order to assure public safety and comply
with labelling regulations. In the food sector, undeclared allergies are a
major factor in product recalls. They are frequently naturally occurring
proteins, and even after food processing, they still have some allergic
reactions. Many markets have labelling regulations that cover allergenic
ingredients and potential cross-contamination in order to protect consumers.
For every phase of the food supply chain, food safety testing companies offer
complete testing and labeling solutions. By using testing procedures such as
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
(ELISA)specialists may find allergens even at the lowest levels and thus are in
huge demand for the food safety testing market and are expected to bolster the
market growth in the forecast period.
