The Asia Pacific food safety testing market is projected to have higher growth potential in the coming years. A large consumer market and increasing disposable income in India and China are driving the growth of demand for high-quality and safe food products. Also, China and India are major exporting countries for food products, due to which they need to follow the regulations provided by the federal bodies of importing countries, thus leading to the growth of the food safety testing market in the region.
Companies in the testing industry are developing response actions and effective plans to help mitigate their risk and prepare for how they will deal with the effects of the COVID-19. The plans from food and beverage companies include establishing an interdisciplinary crisis response team of personnel from all aspects of their business to identify, assess, and manage the risk presented due to the ongoing pandemic crisis. This section covers short-term, mid-term, and long-term strategies adopted by industry players in the market to overcome the impact of COVID-19 on business.
Increasing complexity in the supply chain due to the COVID-19 outbreak can lead to the growth in incidences of false labeling and certification. For this, companies are planning to expand their business offerings as a short term strategy to capture the testing demand across the supply chain. International trade may increase across many countries to streamline affected food supply chains. Due to these reasons, companies operating in food safety industries may find the opportunity to plan their mid-term business strategies for testing of food products. This can be done by expanding their testing capabilities across geographies considering international trade mandates.
