Foodborne illnesses are generally caused due to the contamination of food with pathogens and mycotoxins. The presence of pathogens, such as Salmonella and Listeria, in food certainly compromises the microbiological safety and quality of food, thereby resulting in foodborne illnesses. According to the CDC, 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses are recorded in the US every year, resulting in 325,000 hospitalizations and 5000 deaths. Although, according to WHO, the WHO region of the Americas has the second-lowest burden due to foodborne diseases.
According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Campylobacter is the most common form of food poisoning in the UK. An estimated 280,000 people are affected by Campylobacter contamination in chicken annually. In 2014, in the UK, a study by the FSA inferred that most supermarket chickens were contaminated with Campylobacter bacteria.
According to WHO, the consumption of unsafe food caused nearly 600 million cases of foodborne diseases each year globally. Due to such instances, food safety has become a major concern attributed to serious health threats. This is projected to drive the demand for food traceability, thereby impacting the market growth positively.
Commercial food services have risen dramatically over the last three decades and require extensive food handling. This has led to an increase in the number of people handling food and various other changes such as new methods of producing and distributing food, which has led to a potential increase in the possibility of transmission of foodborne infections from handlers to consumers, thereby driving the demand for food traceability systems.
Asia Pacific is projected to account for the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Due to the high population in the region and the high purchasing capacity, consumers are looking for high quality of safe food to consume. The shift in the consumption habits of the population due to an increase in the awareness regarding healthy food and beverages is also increasing the demand for food traceability services. The millennial population is increasing the demand for clean and safe food & beverages, which is again a driving factor for the food traceability market.
