by Mit K. SEO
The global food
disinfection market size is estimated to be valued USD 12.2 billion in
2020 and is expected to reach a value of USD 14.9 billion by 2025, growing at a
CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period. Factors such as an increase in
instances of foodborne diseases and outbreaks, rise in awareness about food
safety among consumers, and increase in demand for environment-friendly
solutions, is driving to the growth of the food disinfection market.
COVID-19 Impact on
the Food disinfection Market:
Due to the pandemic, food & beverage producers have
become concerned about the need for preventing viral infections among
consumers. Viral infections have a negative impact on the growth, gut health,
performance of an individual. Food & beverage disinfection nutrition aids
in preventing the chances of a viral infection and improving the overall health
and immune response in case of a viral infection in an individual. The food
& beverage disinfection chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, chlorine
compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds, carboxylic acid, alcohols, and other
chemicals play an important role as an alternative to technologies used in food
& beverage products, which aids in supporting and sanitizing the
application areas in food & beverage processing and packaging industries.
These disinfecting chemicals & technologies used in food & beverage
processing play an important role in enhancing the shelf life of the products.
Thus, the pandemic would positively impact the overall growth of the food
disinfection market size , as the release of lockdown in various regions has
increased the consumption of high-quality food & beverage products, which
in turn, boosts the market globally.
Food disinfection Market Dynamics:
Driver: Increase in instances of foodborne diseases and outbreaks
Foodborne diseases are one of the major concerns across the globe. Rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles have increased the number of people eating food prepared in public places. There are several known ways in which foodborne illnesses can occur. For instance, in the food industry, food ingredients such as herbs and spices often carry pathogenic microbes, which can cause food spoilage and foodborne illnesses. Also, the consumption of contaminated or improperly sterilized food products can expose people to harmful microbes such as bacteria, parasites, and viruses, which can result in severe illnesses.
Restraint : Rise in demand for minimally processed food products
In developed countries such as the US, Germany, the UK, and France, the demand for new organic foods among consumers, changes in eating habits, and food safety risks are restraining the prepared food industry and, in turn, the food disinfection market size . Several food safety issues have been debated in the past in the global market, such as issues associated with food allergens, irradiation, and chemical preservatives. These have been and currently are the crucial factors that are of major concern to the consumers. The rise in the aging population in developed countries has led to an increase in health concerns, owing to which there is a high preference for fresh and minimally processed food products processed without using synthetic chemical preservatives, heat, or radiation. Hence, the chemical disinfection of organic and natural food & beverages is avoided by manufacturers, leading to slower growth of disinfection chemicals.
Opportunity: Packaging and shelf-life enhancement for processed food
Food products such as vegetables and meat products require proper packaging to maintain longer shelf life. Manufacturers are shifting to various disinfection technologies to packaging food products as food surface disinfection is not preferred by end consumers. Upcoming disinfection technologies such as steam-ultrasound and ozonation are used by several food & beverage manufacturers since disinfection can be accomplished faster and result in better food quality. This saves energy and reduces the deformation of packaged food products. Food manufacturers in developing countries such as India and China are implementing various disinfection processes to meet the growing demand for packaged and processed food in the country. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), China is one of the largest and fastest-growing packaged food products markets. It grew at a CAGR of 11.5% between 2017 and 2018, to reach USD 347 billion. According to the World Packaging Organization (WPO), the packaging industry will reach a value of close to USD 1 trillion by 2020, indicating significant potential and opportunity for the growth of the food disinfection market size in the packaging industry.
Challenges : Maintaining proper process control
During food processing, it is crucial to maintain control over the process, especially while disinfection due to the direct application of chemicals such as quaternary ammonium compounds and hypochlorous acid on the food surface. Similarly, while using irradiation or pulse-electric during food processing, one has to take care as it can have an adverse effect on the operator. Shortage of skilled labor could delay the processing and affect results, which could increase the wastage of raw materials. This would subsequently result in a decrease in productivity and efficiency of the company.
Meat & poultry, by food processing, is estimated to hold the largest market share during the forecast period
The food disinfection market, by food processing, has been segmented into meat & poultry, dairy, fish & seafood, fruits & vegetables, and other foods. Meat & poultry account for the largest market during the forecast period owing to the large pool of products available in the market. Meat processing facilities often face the challenge of controlling the count of Salmonella, Listeria, and other bacteria. Since meat and poultry are susceptible to easy contamination by pathogens and are highly perishable products, disinfection of meat processing equipment is of prime importance to prevent disease outbreaks.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share during the forecast period due to the growing demand for meat and meat products in developing and developing countries such as China, India, and South Korea. The USDA is of the view that factors such as increasing disposable income, increase in population, and rapid urbanization have significantly aided in the growth of the market in this region. With the westernization of diets in the various countries in Asia Pacific, the demand for better quality meat has been growing which calls for the need to improve the overall health and productivity of livestock species which further drives the growth of the food disinfection market.
