Salmonella Testing Market Report 2025

This Salmonella Testing market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The salmonella testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.64 billion in 2024 to $2.85 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of the food supply chain, growth of international food trade, increasing demand for safer food products, rapid urbanization, increasing prevalence of salmonella outbreaks, and rise in the use of novel food ingredients.

The salmonella testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.84 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing consumer awareness, increasing production and consumption of processed and packaged foods, increasing incidences of foodborne illness, rising concerns over food safety, and growing research and development activities. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, rapid testing technologies, whole-genome sequencing, on-site testing, and data analytics.

The rising incidence of foodborne illness is expected to drive the growth of the salmonella testing market in the future. Foodborne illness results from consuming food or beverages contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemicals, often leading to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The increasing rates of foodborne illnesses are attributed to improper food handling, inadequate cooking, poor hygiene, cross-contamination, contaminated water, undercooked meat, and improper storage. Salmonella testing is crucial for preventing such illnesses by detecting Salmonella bacteria in food and environmental samples. Early detection ensures food safety and mitigates the risk of illness from contaminated products. For example, in December 2023, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reported that there were 5,763 foodborne outbreaks in the European Union in 2022, a 44% increase from 2021. This rise in foodborne illness incidents is fueling the growth of the salmonella testing market.

Leading companies in the salmonella testing market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as molecular diagnostic assays, to improve the accuracy and speed of Salmonella detection in food and environmental samples. Molecular diagnostic assays are advanced testing methods that identify specific genetic material or biomarkers associated with pathogens such as Salmonella. Techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are employed to precisely and rapidly identify contaminants. For instance, in April 2024, Neogen Corporation, a US-based leader in food and animal safety solutions, launched the Neogen Molecular Detection Assay 2 for Salmonella Enteritidis/Salmonella Typhimurium. This advanced method utilizes cutting-edge molecular technology to provide rapid and accurate identification of specific Salmonella strains, improving accuracy compared to traditional methods. The technique can detect two distinct Salmonella serotypes simultaneously, streamlining the testing process and reducing result turnaround time. Its high sensitivity ensures reliable detection even at low contamination levels, making it a valuable tool for preventing foodborne outbreaks and ensuring product safety.

In June 2023, IEH, a US-based biotechnology company, acquired SL Stanlab for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is set to enhance IEH's testing capabilities and solidify its position in the European market for food safety and hygiene. SL Stanlab, based in Germany, specializes in providing comprehensive bacteriology and food hygiene services.
