The grain analysis market is projected to reach 2,323.1 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2017 to 2022. The grain analysis market, by equipment, is projected to reach USD 761.7 Million in 2022 during the forecast period. The market is driven by increase in outbreak of foodborne illnesses, globalization in grain trade, and stringent safety and quality regulation for food & feed.
The grain analysis market, based on grain type, has been segmented into cereals, oilseeds, and pulses. The market for cereals dominated this market in 2016 and is also projected to be fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This is attributable to their large-scale production and trade along with higher testing of pathogens, mycotoxins, GMOs, allergens, heavy metals, and other contaminants in this segment.
The grain analysis market, based on target tested, has been segmented into pathogens, pesticides, GMO, mycotoxins, and others. The mycotoxins segment dominated the grain testing services market in 2016, and is also the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. Mycotoxins are chemically stable at high temperatures, and therefore can travel all the way through the food supply chain causing various safety incidences due to which their occurrence in grains is most prevalent, thereby driving the market for mycotoxin testing.
The grain analysis market, by technology, has been segmented into traditional and rapid. The rapid technology segment dominated the market in 2016 and is projected to be the fastest growing by 2022. This is due to low turnaround time, higher accuracy, sensitivity, and ability to test a wide range of contaminants in comparison to traditional technology.
The grain analysis market, by end use, has been segmented into food and feed. The food segment dominated the market in 2016 and is projected to be the fastest growing by 2022. This is due to the increase in grain trade including import and export, their growing use as an ingredient in new food products, government efforts to ensure optimum nutrition in food, and complexities in the food supply chain have led to the rigorous testing of grains.
The grain analysis market, by component, has been segmented into instruments, consumables & reagents, and reference materials. This market was dominated by the instruments segment in 2016. The market for consumables & reagents is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period.
