Residue testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the compliance of agricultural products with both domestic and international market standards and safety regulations. This process involves the detection and quantification of chemical substances in products through rigorous testing and analysis.
The primary methodologies employed in residue testing include chromatography, spectroscopy, immunoassay, and other relevant techniques. Chromatography, specifically, serves as a pivotal method for the separation of chemicals into distinct components. In the context of residue testing, chromatography is instrumental in assessing pesticides and their residues. Its application extends to the examination of pesticide residues, toxins, heavy metals, food allergens, and various other contaminants. This testing is essential across a spectrum of industries, including meat and poultry, dairy products, processed foods, fruits and vegetables, cereals, grains and pulses, as well as nuts, seeds, and spices. Through these comprehensive testing methods, businesses can ensure the quality and safety of their products, aligning them with market access requirements and safeguarding against regulatory non-compliance.

This residue testing market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The residue testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.72 billion in 2023 to $5.03 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to several factors, including the implementation of food safety regulations, heightened utilization of pesticides, growing consumer awareness, a focus on quality assurance in agriculture, stringent controls on veterinary drugs, concerns related to environmental pollution, and increasing public health considerations.
The residue testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.73 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to several factors, such as an emphasis on microbial residue testing, the global harmonization of standards, heightened consumer demand for transparency, the adoption of preventive residue management practices, and the impact of climate change on residue levels. Significant trends expected in the forecast period encompass the rapid advancement of testing technologies, the application of blockchain for enhanced traceability, strategic collaborations in testing services, the customization of testing protocols, the development of multi-residue analysis methods, and the focus on mycotoxin detection.
The rising occurrences of chemical contamination in food processing industries are set to drive the growth of the residue testing market. Chemical contamination, involving the presence or addition of chemical substances in foods, necessitates thorough inspection, testing, and certification for purification. This is where residue testing plays a crucial role. As an illustration, in May 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that nearly 1 in every 10 people, totaling 600 million individuals, falls ill after consuming contaminated food. Additionally, approximately 420,000 people succumb to the effects of contaminated food each year, resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy life years. The escalating incidents of chemical contamination are thus contributing to the expansion of the residue testing market as a vital component of ensuring food safety.
The growing demand for processed food is expected to be a key driver in propelling the residue testing market forward. Processed food, characterized by undergoing various mechanical, physical, thermal, or chemical transformations during manufacturing, has seen increased demand. This heightened demand translates to higher production and consumption of processed products, often involving complex supply chains and the use of agricultural inputs. The globalization of the food supply chain further emphasizes the necessity for rigorous residue testing to meet stringent regulatory requirements, particularly as processed foods are commonly traded globally. For instance, in March 2022, U.S. exports of processed foods to India reached $259.7 million, marking a substantial 70% increase from the previous year, as reported by the Food Export Association of the Midwest USA. Therefore, the escalating demand for processed food is a significant factor driving the growth of the residue testing market.
In a bid to gain a competitive edge, major companies in the residue testing market are focusing on the development of mobile residue testing laboratories. This strategic initiative is aimed at providing faster testing services to support farmers and exporters, particularly in response to changes in agriculture-related laws. For example, in October 2021, Eurofins Scientific SE, a Luxembourg-based testing laboratories company, launched a mobile residue monitoring laboratory equipped with advanced instruments such as LCMSMS and GCMSMS. This mobile lab is designed to offer rapid and accurate testing services near farms and procurement markets, focusing on major export commodities like basmati rice, cumin, chili, and soya. By reducing turnaround time by over 50%, the mobile lab facilitates quicker transactions, empowering farmers and enhancing India's export capacity. This mobile lab is designed to travel across the country, providing on-the-spot testing services for agricultural commodities.
Prominent companies in the residue testing market are actively developing automated systems, exemplified by the introduction of Delvotest Accelerator Smart, to secure a competitive advantage. Delvotest Accelerator Smart is a fully automated system specifically designed to optimize the detection of antibiotic residues in milk. In June 2021, DSM N.V., a Netherlands-based health, nutrition, and biosciences company, launched this innovative system. When used in conjunction with DSM's Delvotest plates, it provides milk control laboratories and dairies with an efficient solution to reduce costs, enhance accuracy, and achieve faster and more reliable results in antibiotic residue testing. Given the increasing scrutiny from both governments and consumers regarding antibiotic residues in milk, the automated Delvotest Accelerator Smart offers dairy producers a means to ensure the safety and quality of milk products. Key features include fully automated incubation, control determination, and barcode plate reading, contributing to workflow optimization and reduced labor costs. The system also offers complete traceability, detailed reporting, and a compact design, maximizing space efficiency in laboratories.
In a strategic move in July 2021, Intertek Group PLC, a UK-based inspection, product testing, certification, and assurance company, completed the acquisition of JLA Brazil for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Intertek aims to enhance its services for leading Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) customers by leveraging the scale and service offerings of JLA Brazil. JLA Brazil, a Brazil-based provider of microbiological, chemical testing, and inspection services, aligns with Intertek's strategic objectives to bolster its capabilities and broaden its service portfolio in the residue testing market. The acquisition positions Intertek as a stronger player in the FMCG sector, contributing to its overall growth and market presence.
