Growth Drivers
Rising Number of Food-borne Illness Cases
The rising number of food-borne illness cases worldwide is driving Saudi Arabia Food Safety Testing Market. Consumption of spoiled, contaminated food items, along with contaminants like mycotoxins, heavy metals, and chemicals, is the primary cause of various illnesses. Some of the food-borne illnesses could be life threatening. The lack of knowledge among workers, food handlers, and manufacturers contributes to the increased prevalence of food-borne diseases. The Saudi government’s various measures and stringent regulations are forcing the food & beverages companies complying with them. It, in turn, is boosting the growth of Saudi Arabia Food Safety Testing Market.
Challenges
Increasing Food Fraud Cases
Food fraud cases are increasing due to increased competition among producers, leading to intentional replacement, tampering, misrepresentation, defective packaging, and false advertising. Small players are using substances like melamine and urea to make food appear better or more valuable. However, corporations are creating fraud mitigation techniques in compliance with federal rules. The Saudi government has been implementing strict regulations to protect consumer health. It has passed legislation on food safety and implemented controls on imported food for non-trading uses.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Saudi Arabia Food Safety Testing Market
The growth of Saudi Arabia Food Safety Testing Market may be impacted by increasing geopolitical tensions among countries in the Middle East and other regions across the world. Further spreading and escalating geopolitical conflicts could increase import restrictions and border controls. It will lead to further potential delays in food testing materials and technologies, necessitating robust domestic facilities and advanced testing protocols. Political instabilities and economic fluctuations may affect the funding and operational capabilities of various food safety initiatives. Consequently, revenue growth and profit margins of players in Saudi Arabia Food Safety Testing Market could be affected by intensified geopolitical tensions.
