The growth of new startups is anticipated to drive the expansion of the enterprise-generative AI market. Startups are newly established and rapidly growing companies, often founded by entrepreneurs with innovative ideas or solutions. The increase in new startups is fueled by greater access to funding, a thriving entrepreneurial culture, shifting market demands, and trends like remote work. These startups utilize enterprise-generative AI to quickly generate creative content and prototypes, promoting innovation, speeding up product development cycles, and reducing resource investments, all of which boost competitiveness in fast-evolving markets. For example, in May 2022, the US Small Business Administration, a government agency, reported 31.7 million small businesses and 20,139 large businesses in the United States. Over the past two decades, small businesses have created 10.5 million net new jobs, while large businesses have contributed 5.6 million. These numbers are expected to keep growing in the coming years. As a result, the rise in new startups is driving the growth of the enterprise-generative AI market.
Key players in the food allergen testing market are concentrating on the development of rapid testing methods, such as immunochromatographic assays, to enhance their competitiveness. Immunochromatographic assays are rapid diagnostic tests that utilize chromatography and immunological reactions to detect specific allergenic proteins in food products. For instance, in March 2024, Gold Standard Diagnostics Budapest Kft introduced the SENSIStrip Gluten PowerLine lateral flow test, which employs an immunochromatographic assay for rapid gluten detection. This sensitive detection system, based on monoclonal antibodies, is particularly adept at identifying gluten residues in food matrices, rinse water, and swabs. The test offers quick and sensitive gluten detection, crucial for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, and includes features such as a hook line to prevent false-negative interpretations. Results can be visually interpreted or quantitatively evaluated using their RapidScan ST5 lateral flow reader.
In March 2024, ALS Limited, an Australia-based company specializing in testing, inspection, certification, and verification, acquired York Analytical Laboratories and Wessling Holding GmbH & Co. KG for $148.03 million.
