Meat Speciation Testing Global Market Report 2024

The meat speciation testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.04 billion in 2023 to $2.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. Historical growth in meat speciation testing was largely propelled by stringent food safety regulations, heightened consumer concerns regarding food authenticity, the globalization of meat supply chains, instances of food fraud and mislabeling, and the industry's dedication to ensuring quality assurance standards.

The meat speciation testing market size is expected to see strongly grown in the next few years. It will grow to $3.08 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. Anticipated growth in meat speciation testing in the forecast period is linked to a heightened emphasis on managing allergens, a rising demand for transparency within the food supply chain, the emergence and popularity of plant-based and alternative proteins, the continued global trade of meat products, and advancements in testing technologies.

The meat speciation testing market is poised for growth due to the surge in food fraud incidents globally. This refers to deliberate misinformation by food suppliers about purchased items. With approximately 73.0% of enterprises reportedly involved in food fraud cases, estimated costs between $10 and $15 billion annually affect 1% of the global food business. This escalation in food fraud cases emphasizes the need for manufacturers to conduct meat speciation tests to ensure product quality and authenticity, thereby driving market expansion.

The meat speciation testing market is experiencing growth propelled by increased meat production. This production cycle involves raising, slaughtering, and processing animals for human consumption, often posing environmental challenges. Meat speciation testing verifies meat authenticity, ensuring regulatory compliance and consumer safety by identifying the species present. Forecasts from the United States Department of Agriculture project stable global pork production at 115.5 million tons and a 1% increase in chicken meat production to reach 103.3 million tons by 2024. This surge in production, especially in Brazil, Vietnam, and the United States, drives the growth of the meat speciation testing market. Technological advancements stand as a pivotal trend in the meat speciation testing market, with major players focusing on innovative genomic technologies. Neogen Corporation's launch of the Encompass platform in September 2022 exemplifies this trend, offering tailored genomic data to aid beef and dairy farmers in herd management and meat adulteration detection. These cutting-edge genomic technologies signal a strategic shift among key players to maintain a competitive edge in the market.

Major companies in the meat speciation testing market are prioritizing advanced solutions, particularly real-time PCR methods, to meet rigorous quality standards and regulatory requirements. Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc.'s launch of the ID-Check Speciation Solution in April 2023 exemplifies this drive, offering a real-time PCR technique for detecting specific meat species' DNA in various samples. This innovative kit, focusing on mitochondrial DNA from diverse species, ensures swift detection in under 2 hours with exceptional sensitivity, meeting stringent industry demands for accuracy and efficiency.

Europe was the largest region in the meat speciation testing market in 2023. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the meat speciation testing market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa The countries covered in the meat speciation testing market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

The main technologies involved in meat speciation testing are PCR, ELISA, and other molecular diagnostic tests. PCR also known as a polymerase chain reaction, is a lab method for quickly making (amplifying) millions to billions of copies of a certain DNA region, which may subsequently be analyzed in more detail. The tests can be done on raw, cooked, and processed forms of meat of different species such as cow (Bos taurus), swine (Sus scrofa), chicken (Gallus gallus), horse (Equus caballus), sheep (Ovis aries), and others.
