The increasing occurrences of foodborne diseases are anticipated to drive the expansion of the microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market in the foreseeable future. Foodborne diseases result from consuming contaminated food or beverages containing pathogenic microorganisms, toxins, or chemicals. The upsurge in foodborne incidents can be attributed to various factors, including shifts in food production, distribution, and consumption patterns, globalization of food supply chains, insufficient food safety measures, antimicrobial resistance, the impact of climate change on food production, and the growing consumption of high-risk foods. Microbiology and bacterial culture play a crucial role in industrial testing for foodborne diseases, aiding in the detection and identification of pathogens, ensuring food safety, and averting outbreaks through stringent quality control measures. For instance, in February 2024, as reported by the UK Health Security Agency, England and Wales recorded 167 cases of listeriosis (a severe infection caused by consuming food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes) in 2022, compared to 160 cases in 2021. Hence, the escalating incidences of foodborne diseases propel the growth of the microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market.

Key players in the microbiology and bacterial culture for industrial testing market are concentrating on developing advanced products such as dehydrated and prepared culture media to enhance their competitiveness.
