The Asia-Pacific food allergen testing market growth analysis includes the assessment of South Korea, Thailand, Australia & New Zealand, Vietnam, India, China, Japan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific. China, with the largest population globally, is an agricultural and industrial powerhouse. In 2021, the food industry’s retail sales were over $212.09 billion. Also, the country is the second-largest agro-food products importer after the United States, given its demographic and economic size. However, the China market faces challenges like a lack of stringent regulations in the food industry and environmental pollution. Therefore, allergen labeling for pre-packaged foods is projected to become mandatory under the new plans by the Chinese National Health Commission (NHC).

Further, Article 14 of the draft measures obligates Chinese labeling to be done during the food manufacturing process. Additionally, the imported product has a Chinese sticker at the port or post customs clearance. Besides, the draft aims to include thickeners and emulsifiers, and allows food additives to be represented by their substance name, INS number or class name.

South Korea’s robust food processing industry manufactures a vast variety of food & beverage products. The industry relies on imports for ingredients. As a result, the Korean food processing industry facilitates lucrative opportunities for imported agricultural products for processing use, including basic commodities like soybeans and wheat, food additives like coloring agents and flavors, and intermediate ingredients like fruit juice concentrate and vegetable oils. Also, as per the USDA, the food processing industry generated around $65.2 billion in sales in 2019. Additionally, as per the country’s regulations, food items that are food allergens are to be indicated on the label, despite their addition at minimal levels. Such factors constitute the South Korean food allergen testing market.

The Asia-Pacific food allergen testing market segmentation includes food tested and technology. The technology category includes PCR, immunoassay-based/ELISA, biosensors-based, and other technologies.

Biosensors are used for cheap, direct, real-time, and reproducible detection of food allergens. Sensors are integrated receptor-transducer devices that offer specific quantitative analytical information based on the sample. Also, biosensors entail a biological recognition element in direct spatial contact with a transducer that converts the recognition element into a measurable physical or chemical signal, further connected to the data acquisition and processing system. Moreover, biosensors assist in detecting food allergen substances.

Some of the leading companies in the Asia-Pacific food allergen testing market include Auriga Research, AsureQuality Limited, Bureau Veritas, Eurofins Scientific SE, etc.

AsureQuality Limited provides a range of testing analyses against the retailer and regulatory standards for genetically-modified organisms, chemical residues, allergens, toxins, pathogens, and nutritional information that facilitate increased access to their market.
