Mycotoxin Testing Market Segmentation and Future Trend, 2024-2032

Mycotoxin Testing Market

Market Overview:

The global mycotoxin testing market size was valued at USD 1.23 billion in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 1.32 billion in 2024 to USD 2.40 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.69% during the forecast period.

Mycotoxins, chemical compounds from fungi, present risks in food and feed grains, potentially causing diseases in humans and animals. Increased internet accessibility and ongoing research efforts by experts and biotechnologists are raising awareness about foodborne illnesses and the importance of mycotoxin testing, driving market demand.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the food and feed supply chain, causing border closures and production site shutdowns, resulting in decreased global production and trade. Closure of the food service industry and losses in the non-food retail sector further contributed to a decline in revenue, reflecting the overall impact of the pandemic on the market.
