Saudi Arabia, South Africa and UAE are major economies in Middle East and Africa. Rapid Pathogen Testing in dairy production has increased that will drive Middle East and Africa Food Pathogen Testing market. The food pathogen testing techniques are continuously being enhanced and employed, with the evolvement of food safety technologies. The dairy producers these days, have a variety of options to choose from for the accurate and rapid pathogen testing which are suitable for different categories of products, facilities and workflows. The rapid food pathogen testing technologies are based on different chemistries for the purpose of the detection of the targeted pathogens in the most effective & efficient manner. The Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) based technologies target the specific cell surface receptors on the pathogens for making an identification. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based technologies target the DNA inside each of the pathogens. The implementation of rapid testing technologies in a dairy plant provide many advantages such as faster time to get results which further allows higher testing throughout for the purpose of improving the production efficiency, decreasing the hold time and the increased shelf life of the products. The use of rapid testing technologies also favors the faster response to adverse events that allows the dairy production facilities to implement any required corrective actions that can prevent losses caused due to wastage and spoilage. Besides, these rapid food pathogen testing methods are easy to use and allow increased flexibility for personnel. Most of the dairy manufacturers have implemented in-house testing programs. With proper training and availability of proper instruments, an advanced microbiology degree no longer acts as a barrier for the implementation of a successful pathogen testing program. Also, the rise in the accessibility and affordability of the rapid testing methods, enable the dairy manufacturers to keep their data in-house, enhance the traceability and control of sample and results. The harnessing and housing of data further helps the manufacturers to employ analytics and make proactive decisions ranging from supply chain to the production line to the storage facilities. Owing to the advantages offered by the rapid pathogen testing, the dairy manufacturers implement it in their manufacturing units, which in turn foster the growth of the Middle East and Africa food pathogen testing market.
Presently, major countries in Middle East and Africa are under lockdown due to the COVID 19 pandemic. In the high-impact countries in the region, isolation and social distancing measures have been put in place. The lesser production of goods and commodities is hampering the growth of the Middle East and Africa food pathogen testing market as the demand for these solutions has declined over the past couple of months. In addition, the overall manufacturing processes, research, and development activities will also impact market growth.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East and Africa Food Pathogen Testing market. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
