Pesticide Residue Testing Market to Expand with Significant CAGR During 2024
Pesticides
are chemicals used on crops to protect them against fungi, insects,
and other pests. Additionally, they safeguard public health by
controlling the vectors of diseases, such as mosquitoes. However,
pesticides are toxic in nature and can pose severe health hazards if
consumed. They are known to be carcinogenic and to affect the nervous
and reproductive systems.

Report Overview @
Usage
of pesticides leaves a residue in food long after they have been
applied to crops in agriculture. Maximum levels of permissible
pesticide residue have been established by regulatory bodies working
in the sectors of food safety and environment across the globe. A
host of chemicals used as pesticides, such as the derivatives of
chlorine, could cause bioaccumulation in living beings and the
environment and get magnified in the higher organisms in the food
chain. Their presence has already been detected in fishes, poultry,
and various fruits and vegetables. Therefore, pesticides are always
analyzed before usage and tested by experts for any possible risk or
health effects to humans. If the residue in them exceeds maximum
levels set by food safety legislation across the globe, it could end
up in frozen, fresh, or canned vegetables & fruits, in processed
drinks produced from crops, and processed or fresh animal products.
Pesticide residue is tested in laboratories using different
techniques such as gas and liquid chromatography for accurate
results.
Based
on type, the market for pesticide residue testing has been segmented
into the following categories: fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,
rodenticides, molluscides, and others including nematicides and
acaricides. In terms of technology, the market can be segregated into
the gas chromatography, immunoassay, high-performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC), liquid chromatography mass spectrometry
(LC-MS), and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) groups. By
class, the pesticide residue testing market is divided into the
following segments: organophosphates, organochlorines, fumigants, and
pyrethoids.
The
market is expected to expand at a significant pace owing to
increasing consumer awareness regarding the consumption of
contamination-free food, the global organic revolution, and
technological advancements. Stringent government regulations
regarding food safety and environment are likely to propel the market
as well. The herbicides segment which includes trifluralin and
glyphosate accounted for a prominent share in the market in 2015
which is predicted to rise over the next few years. By technology,
LC-MS holds a key share in the pesticide residue testing market due
to the high sensitivity and accuracy it offers, which make it
functional in various applications. HPLC is second in line owing to
its ease of operation. However, lack of awareness among crop
producers as well as deficient resources and food control
infrastructure could hinder the development of this market during the
forecast period.
Geographically,
Europe constitutes a major share in the pesticide residue testing
market on account of stringent government regulations on food
contamination coupled with the presence of multiple food industries
in this region. Europe is also a prominent international trader of
food and food products. This, along with the implementation of the
European Commission’s (EC) framework regarding the usage of
pesticides through integrated pest management (IPM) are factors
motivating the growth of pesticide residue testing over the forecast
period.
The
market in North America is projected to expand owing to the research
and development infrastructure in the region and efforts made by the
government to promote the production of contamination-free food by
lowering the usage of pesticides exceeding the maximum residue levels
among manufacturers. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to
advance at rapid pace due to the growing demand for
contamination-free food among consumers and the rise in testing
laboratories and food industries in emerging economies such as China
and India. Middle East & Africa is likely to offer moderate
growth opportunities to the pesticide residue testing during the
forecast period.
