Global food authentication testing market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.95% during the forecast period, 2020-2025.

- Amidst the growing prevalence of food frauds in the industry, including deliberate substitution of ingredients, misleading consumers with false claims, and disruptive labeling, consumers have become skeptical about the authentication of food products meant to serve specific demands, such as vegan, free-form, organic, and others. This, in turn, has led the food manufacturers to opt for food authentication techniques as the most effective way to differentiate their products from conventional offerings, to capture substantial shares in the market.
- However, the complexity to maintain the authenticity of the end product, considering identification and management from each stakeholder of the supply chain, makes the food manufacturers opt out of authentication testing. Moreover, testing, primarily being a voluntary adoption, is perceived to be an extra expense for small manufacturers of the developing regions, like Asia-Pacific and Africa. The testing method poses a budget constraint for the food companies, further posing a restraint to the market.

Key Market Trends

The growing competition among the food manufacturers has helped the global food fraud cases prevail, giving rise to deliberate substitution, tampering, misrepresentation of food products, faulty packaging, or misleading statements about the products. Small players, in order to aid their economic gains, are tampering common food products, such as milk, by using melamine, urea, and other elements.

Some of the common products that are susceptible to food frauds are olive oil, milk, honey, and saffron. About 16% of the olive oil consumed, worldwide, is fraudulent in its composition, as indicated by the Food Fraud Database. The acknowledgement of such instances has developed a sense of skepticism among the consumers, regarding the purchase of items based on mere claims.
