The global food pathogen testing market is estimated to be valued at USD 15.1 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 22.7 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. Incidences of foodborne illnesses occur primarily due to the consumption of food contaminated with mycotoxins, pathogens, or the growth of yeasts and molds. The presence of pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, E. coli, and Listeria could compromise the microbiological safety of food, thereby resulting in foodborne illnesses. According to a new report from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2020, there were more cases of potentially dangerous foodborne illnesses in 2019 compared to the preceding three years due to common bacteria in the food supply in the US.

Inadequate pasteurization of milk is also one of the major causes of pathogenic presence in milk. Furthermore, some pathogens, such as Listeria, can survive post-pasteurization techniques and result in re-contamination of the products. Unpasteurized milk is used in cheese manufacturing, and hence, contaminated dairy products may be consumed by a considerable section of the population. Consumption of unpasteurized milk and unsanitary handling of dairy products has increased the demand for dairy product testing, which in turn is anticipated to significantly increase the food pathogen testing market.
