Global Mycotoxin Testing Market In-Depth Analysis, Business Forecast and Dynamics 2024-2032

Mycotoxin Testing Market Size And Forecast

Mycotoxin Testing Market size was valued at USD 6.03 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 10.26 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2031.

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of mycotoxigenic fungi that, if taken in large enough amounts, are harmful to humans and other animals. Mycotoxins produce a toxic reaction in animals and humans, known as Mycotoxicosis. The Global Mycotoxin Testing Market is expected to rise due to the highest demand for the Fusarium toxin, consumer complaints, incremented international trade, and rising healthcare concerns. The Global Mycotoxin Testing Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Mycotoxin Testing Market Definition

Secondary metabolites of molds that contaminate crops and plants are known as mycotoxins. Mycotoxin can infect both humans and animals. They are toxic chemical compounds produced by the fungus that infects grains. Mycotoxins can disrupt vital hormonal systems, harm organs, weaken the immune system, and even cause cancer. Mycotoxin contamination may be controlled through spreading information about mycotoxins, anticipating and avoiding contamination, detecting mycotoxins in grains, making effective use of contaminated grain, and breeding fungal resistance into crops.

Many species can generate the same mycotoxins, yet a single species can produce a variety of mycotoxin types. The poison is visible to the naked eye. Mycotoxins-producing mold may, however, be seen with the naked eye. The mold responsible for producing mycotoxin, Aspergillus flavus, is yellowish-green in color. The spores of the fungus get deeper green as it grows older. Mycotoxin can cause sickness in both animals and humans. These are poisonous chemical compounds generated by fungi that invade crops. One mold species produces different mycotoxins, whereas numerous species can create the same mycotoxin.

Mycotoxins weaken the receptive host, which the fungus uses to improve the conditions for fungal growth. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), mycotoxins, which are secondary metabolites of molds and are hazardous, are found in roughly 25% of the world’s food. There are around 400 distinct types of mycotoxins known, with 25 of them being extremely common owing to their frequency of occurrence. The need for food is increasing as the world’s population grows, making it necessary to emphasize mycotoxin testing.

Global Mycotoxin Testing Market Overview

The major factor that is driving the mycotoxin market is the stringent food safety regulations that have been implemented by several countries. Various government and regulatory bodies across the world have made testing of animal feed and food ingredients mandatory. The regulatory authorities do not approve animal feed for marketing unless its safety and efficacy are proven. Such measures to prevent potential threats of contamination, chemicals, and toxic presence have been affecting the growth of the Mycotoxin Testing Market greatly. To protect human and animal health, many countries have enacted specific regulations for mycotoxins in food and animal feed. Currently, more than 100 countries have formal mycotoxin regulations for food and feed.

The mycotoxin regulations are the most stringent in the EU, where various organizations and pan-European networks contribute to combating the problems related to mycotoxin. In addition, the other factors that contribute to the growth of the market are consumer complaints, incremented international trade, and growing health concerns among consumers. The demand for the Fusarium toxin is the maximum in the global market. Fusarium toxin is commonly found in cereals and their by-products. The factors that are increasing the demand of the Fusarium toxin market are rise in the commodities trade and the contamination in grain due to changing climatic conditions.

Furthermore, consumers are more aware regarding the presence of mycotoxins in products has augmented numerous folds during the past, which is another driver which can boost Mycotoxin Testing Market. Advanced technologies to quickly and efficiently test the existence of mycotoxins are some other factors that are favoring the growth of the market. Apart from the rising need for food safety, the Global Mycotoxin Testing Market is driven by a moist atmosphere, which is foremost to mycotoxins productions in food yields such as dairy products, herbs, cookies, bread, cereals, meat & poultry products, beverages like wine & beer. However, the lack of infrastructure facilities, food controller systems, and equipment in the developing economies is projected to obstruct the development speed of the mycotoxins testing market and is the major restraint for the Global Mycotoxin Testing Market.

The Mycotoxin Testing Markets in several developing regions lack organization, sophistication, and technology. The infrastructure of food control laboratories in many developing countries is likely to be scarce due to limited resources, limited technology, and poor management. There are numerous issues related to food safety such as lack of institutional coordination, outdated technology, less expertise for execution of regulation at low levels, and lack of updated standards; all of these have been constraining the market for testing. Laboratories are poorly equipped and lack suitable trained analytical staff.
