The Middle East & Africa food safety testing kits market is expected to grow from US$ 1,561.39 million in 2022 to US$ 2,434.36 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2028.
Food safety is a worldwide concern according to World Health Organization (WHO), however, developing countries are more at risk such as those in the Middle East & Africa since they have limited control strategies, prevention, and disease surveillance. As per a research study published by the US National Library of Medicine, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has the third highest cases of foodborne diseases per population wherein Africa is at the top. Water shortage is a major concern in the Middle East and therefore the consumers in the region have to rely on imported food products. The imported food products can be very expensive if not subsidized, this leads to compromise with food security especially in the countries that may be under conflict at the time. Moreover, as per World Health Organization (WHO) data published in 2019, each year foodborne hazards are responsible for 137,000 deaths in Africa. The foodborne hazards are therefore a major concern in the Middle East & Africa, and food safety testing is thus a requirement. As per a report by the World Bank, most funding for food safety comes from western donors who are taking efforts to ensure food security in the region. The increasing efforts taken for food security in the region are expected to aid the Middle East & Africa food safety testing kits market.
The Use of Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) in Food Safety Testing is Upcoming Future in the Middle East & Africa Food Safety Testing Kits Market
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a cutting-edge technology that is put to health-promoting and novel use. FDA is attempting to use the technology to protect consumers worldwide from foodborne illnesses. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) depicts an organism’s complete DNA design, helping food analysts understand variations between and within species. The technology is therefore helping food safety testing market players to differentiate between organisms with utmost precision. The technology is being used to identify foodborne pathogens during foodborne illness outbreaks. The samples taken from environment and food are compared with clinical isolates from patients. Upon matching of both the pathogens, a reliable link can be created between two further assisting in defining of scope of foodborne illness. Its ability to differentiate between even closely related organisms allows avoidance of additional illnesses and provides the opportunity to stop outbreaks sooner. Hence, the use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in food safety testing is upcoming future in the Middle East & Africa food safety testing kits market.Middle East & Africa Food Safety Testing Kits Market Overview
