Industry Overview

The North America third-party food chemistry labs market size is expected to hit USD 7,423.4 million, registering a CAGR of 8.13% during the forecast period. Third-party food chemistry laboratories provide unbiased chemical testing of food items to verify nutritional content, contaminants, and ingredient authenticity. These labs operate independently from producers, ensuring transparent and reliable results.

The third-party food chemistry laboratories are expanding due to the increased consumer inclination towards natural, transparent, and organic food products in North America. These laboratories confirm the clean-label and organic usage by localizing the regulation through the analysis of the chemical residues, additives, and GMOs in order to ensure the compliance of the regulatory bodies. As the organic food market is forecasted to double by 2033, the demand for testing from food manufacturers is increasing dramatically.

Major Company Development

IEH Laboratories got FDA LAAF Accreditation for Food Analyses in January 2024 which gave the lab a great capability to deal with food safety concerns, removal of import alerts and strengthening of FDA regulations compliance.

Key Players

Major players in the North America third-party food chemistry labs include ALS Global, Certified Group, Diebel Laboratories, Eurofins, IEH Laboratories, Matrix Sciences, Merieux NutriSciences, Midwest Labs, and Intertek.
