What Is The Market Size Of The Food Allergen Testing Market In 2026 And What Value Is Projected For 2030?

The food allergen testing market size has seen rapid growth recently. It is projected to expand from $1.11 billion in 2025 to $1.22 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. Historically, this growth can be attributed to several factors: an increase in the prevalence of food allergies, the introduction of food labeling regulations, the expansion of the packaged food industry, the proliferation of food testing laboratories, and the adoption of ELISA testing methods.

The food allergen testing market size is projected to experience substantial expansion over the upcoming years. This market is forecast to reach $1.71 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. Several factors are driving this anticipated growth, including a heightened demand for high-sensitivity detection methods, an increase in global food trade, the broadening application of PCR-based testing, more stringent allergen regulations, and increased automation in food testing processes. Key trends anticipated during this period encompass a surging demand for food safety testing, more rigorous regulatory compliance requirements, the extended scope of allergen detection in processed foods, the rising implementation of rapid testing technologies, and the uptake of advanced molecular diagnostic methods.

What Drivers Are Influencing The Food Allergen Testing Market?

The rising occurrence of food allergies is anticipated to drive growth in the food allergen testing market in the future. Food allergies are defined as negative immune responses caused by particular food proteins, which can lead to symptoms ranging from minor irritation to serious reactions. The growing prevalence of food allergies stems from factors such as genetic predispositions, environmental influences, changes in diet, and better awareness and diagnostic methods. Food allergen testing serves to identify and measure allergenic substances within food products, thereby helping to prevent allergic reactions in affected individuals. For example, data from March 2024, provided by CPD Online College Limited, a UK-based company, indicates that in the UK, roughly 2 million people are estimated to have a diagnosed food allergy. In the US, approximately 33 million individuals are thought to have allergies. Australia records some of the highest allergy rates worldwide, with food allergies impacting 10% of infants, 4-8% of children, and 2% of adults. Consequently, the increasing frequency of food allergies is propelling the expansion of the food allergen testing market.

What Industry Trends Are Redefining The Food Allergen Testing Market?

Leading companies in the food allergen testing market are concentrating on creating rapid diagnostic tools, such as immunochromatographic assays, to achieve a competitive advantage. An immunochromatographic assay is a swift diagnostic technique that detects specific allergenic proteins in food products through chromatography and immunological reactions. For example, in March 2024, Gold Standard Diagnostics Budapest Kft, a Hungary-based provider of diagnostic solutions, introduced the SENSIStrip Gluten PowerLine lateral flow test to ensure quick gluten detection and minimize false negative outcomes. This test utilizes an immunochromatographic assay and operates as a sensitive detection system based on a monoclonal antibody, specifically designed to identify gluten residues in food matrices, rinse water, and swabs. It facilitates rapid and accurate gluten detection, which is crucial for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The test also incorporates a hook line to prevent false-negative interpretations from highly contaminated samples. Results can be visually interpreted, and a quantitative assessment is also feasible when used with their RapidScan ST5 lateral flow reader.
