Mycotoxin Feed Testing Market Report 2026

The mycotoxin feed testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.54 billion in 2025 to $1.66 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising incidences of mycotoxin contamination in animal feed, growing awareness of feed safety among livestock producers, limited availability of advanced testing technologies, stringent food and feed safety regulations in europe and north america, increasing livestock production and demand for safe feed.

The mycotoxin feed testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.31 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in high-throughput mycotoxin detection technologies, integration of ai and machine learning in feed testing, expansion of testing services in asia-pacific, growing adoption of point-of-care testing devices, increasing collaborations between feed producers and testing service providers. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid development of high-sensitivity detection kits, increased focus on animal health and safety standards, adoption of portable and on-site testing solutions, integration of automated feed quality monitoring systems, enhanced regulatory compliance and reporting.

The rising incidence of food-borne illnesses is expected to drive the growth of the mycotoxin feed testing market in the coming years. Food-borne illness refers to diseases caused by consuming foods or beverages contaminated with pathogens or microorganisms. These illnesses are increasing due to the expanded use of commercial food services, new methods of food production and distribution, emerging or re-emerging infectious agents, dietary changes, and other factors. Mycotoxin feed testing helps minimize the risk of consuming contaminated food, thereby reducing food-borne illnesses. For example, in October 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based agency responsible for international public health, reported that approximately 600 million people - almost 1 in 10 globally - fall ill each year from contaminated food, with 420,000 fatalities annually. Thus, the increasing prevalence of food-borne illnesses is fueling growth in the mycotoxin feed testing market.

Leading players in the mycotoxin feed testing market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as rapid quantitative lateral flow mycotoxin testing strips, to enable faster on-site detection of harmful mycotoxins and enhance food safety decision-making across feed and pet food value chains. A lateral flow mycotoxin testing strip is a portable immunoassay-based diagnostic tool designed to quickly quantify toxic fungal metabolites in feed and food without the need for complex laboratory infrastructure. For instance, in May 2024, Waters Corporation, a US-based provider of analytical instruments, software, and food safety testing solutions, launched the VICAM Fumo-V ONE Strip Test, which delivers quantitative results for key mycotoxins, including aflatoxin, fumonisin, and DON, directly at production sites in under 10 minutes using simple water extraction. This product allows feed and pet food manufacturers to shift quality control upstream, reduce reliance on external laboratories, accelerate release decisions, and lower the risk of contamination-related losses, thereby improving overall safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in animal nutrition supply chains.

In July 2024, ImagoAI Inc., a food technology company based in the U.S., partnered with the USDA to create a handheld mycotoxin testing device known as GalaxyLyte. This collaboration seeks to improve food safety by providing a more accessible and convenient method for rapid mycotoxin testing across various agricultural sectors. The main objective is to enable food safety professionals to perform on-site testing, thus mitigating the risk of mycotoxin contamination in products like animal feed and human food.

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

Tariffs have impacted the mycotoxin feed testing market by increasing the cost of importing advanced testing equipment and reagents, particularly affecting segments like chromatography-based and spectroscopy-based technologies. Regions such as north america and europe, which rely on imported high-tech instruments, have experienced higher operational costs and slower adoption rates. While tariffs may temporarily increase costs for manufacturers and end-users, they also encourage the development of local testing solutions and domestic manufacturing capabilities, potentially boosting regional self-sufficiency and innovation.

This mycotoxin feed testing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

Mycotoxin feed testing involves examining food or feed samples to detect and measure the presence of naturally occurring toxic substances produced by fungi, known as mycotoxins. These toxins can contaminate animal feed and pose health risks to livestock. The objective of mycotoxin feed testing is to ensure the safety and quality of the feed, safeguarding the health of the animals consuming it.

The primary types of mycotoxin feed testing encompass various toxins such as aflatoxins, alternaria, cyclopiazonic acid, citrinin, fusarium toxins, ergot alkaloids, patulin, ochratoxins, sterigmatocystin, and others. For instance, aflatoxins are toxins produced by fungi commonly found on agricultural products such as maize (corn), peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts. These tests are conducted on a range of substances including cereals, seeds, seed products, forage, silage, and others. Various technologies such as chromatography, immunoassay, lateral flow assay, spectroscopy, among others, are employed for mycotoxin detection. These testing procedures cater to end-users in industries such as food and beverages, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals, ensuring the safety and quality of their products.

The mycotoxin feed testing market includes revenues earned by testing for mycotoxins such as fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, and other mycotoxins present in food and animal feed such as dried fruits, apples, coffee beans, cocoa tea, herbal tea, fruit tea, and others.
