Executive Summary

GMO testing involves the qualification and quantification of genetically modified organisms present in food or feed samples, ensuring compliance with national and international controls. It serves to independently verify products for trade, particularly with countries specifying GMO-free products, and helps prevent cross-contamination throughout the supply chain.

The main types of traits examined in GMO testing are stacked herbicide tolerance and insect resistance. Stacked GMO testing specifically detects genes that are combined into a single crop, involving two or more transgenes of interest. Various technologies, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoassay, are employed in this process. GMO testing covers a range of processed food types such as bakery and confectionery items, meat products, breakfast cereals and snacks, food additives, and more. Crops commonly tested include corn, soybean, rapeseed or canola, potato, and others.

The gmo testing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.33 billion in 2023 to $2.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth observed in the historic period in the field of GMO testing can be attributed to several key factors. These include the increased adoption of genetically modified (GMO) crops, a heightened emphasis on regulatory compliance, growing consumer awareness about GMOs, concerns related to food safety, and the impact of international trade and export requirements. These factors collectively contributed to the demand for GMO testing during the historic period, reflecting the intersection of technological advancements, regulatory landscape changes, and evolving consumer preferences.

The gmo testing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period for GMO testing can be attributed to several factors. These include the increasing consumer demand for transparency in food products, adherence to global trade regulations and traceability requirements, evolving regulatory changes, and a growing emphasis on environmental impact assessment. Major trends expected in the forecast period include the adoption of advanced detection technologies, the implementation of rapid testing solutions, expanding into non-food applications, the integration of blockchain and digital records for enhanced traceability, and a continued focus on consumer awareness and preferences. These trends collectively contribute to the projected growth and evolution of GMO testing practices in the specified period.

The expansion in the production of genetically modified (GMO) crops is playing a pivotal role in the growth of the GMO testing market. Genetically modified crops are generated through GM technology, involving the introduction of new DNA into a plant's genome and subsequent cultivation of plant cells in tissue culture for maturation into plants. Seeds produced by genetically modified plants inherit new DNA, providing benefits such as nutritional enhancement, disease resistance, phytoremediation, and modified cell wall composition for more efficient biofuel conversion. With an upsurge in nutritional demands and increasing stringency in genetically modified food safety regulations, there is a growing need for enhanced production. As per data from the United States Department of Agriculture in October 2023, herbicide-tolerant soybean acreage reached 95 percent in 2021 and maintained this percentage in 2023. Similarly, in 2023, 91 percent of domestic corn acres were planted with herbicide-tolerant seeds, and 89 percent of U.S. cotton acres utilized genetically engineered, insect-resistant seeds. Hence, the heightened production of genetically modified crops is anticipated to drive the growth of the GMO testing market.

The rising instances of food fraud are expected to fuel the expansion of the GMO testing market. Food fraud involves intentionally deceiving consumers by misrepresenting, adulterating, or substituting food products for economic gain. This often includes mislabelling and misrepresentation of GMO content in food products. To counter food fraud and ensure transparency in labeling, food companies and regulatory authorities are increasingly turning to GMO testing to verify the presence or absence of GMOs in food items. According to the Food and Drug Administration in January 2023, food fraud has an annual financial impact of approximately $10 to $15 billion, affecting 1% of the global food industry. Consequently, the growing prevalence of food frauds is propelling the growth of the GMO testing market.

Major players in the GMO testing market are focusing on developing innovative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques to gain a competitive advantage. PCR is a molecular biology laboratory technique used to amplify specific DNA segments. In April 2023, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., a U.S.-based biotechnology company, introduced the ID-Check Speciation Solution, a real-time PCR method for meat speciation. This solution enables the identification of animal species in food, feed, and environmental samples, providing a reliable and rapid means to verify raw material origins and enhance production line cleaning processes. The solution targets mitochondrial DNA from various meat species, including bovine, chicken, duck, goat, horse, sheep, swine, and turkey, exhibiting exceptional sensitivity with the ability to detect as low as 0.001% of species DNA. The kit also features a duplex detection system for added accuracy and ease of use. This strategic focus on advanced PCR techniques enhances the competitiveness of companies in the GMO testing market.

To secure a competitive advantage in the GMO testing market, major companies are actively developing innovative technologies, including herbicide-tolerant trait technology. Herbicide tolerance involves genetically modifying a plant, typically a crop, to make it resistant to specific herbicides. A case in point is the initiative taken by Corteva, Inc., a U.S.-based agricultural chemical company, in February 2023. The company launched Optimum GLY canola, an advanced herbicide-tolerant trait technology tailored for canola farmers. This proprietary glyphosate trait technology delivers enhanced weed control and a broader application window for herbicides, providing farmers with increased flexibility in weed management. Canola, renowned for its protein and oil content, holds significant importance in meeting global food and energy demands.

In December 2021, Merieux NutriSciences, a prominent U.S.-based food safety company, completed the acquisition of Dyad Labs for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move expanded Merieux NutriSciences' service offerings and reinforced its presence in the United States, with a particular focus on the dietary supplements industry. The acquisition strengthened the company's capabilities, enabling it to provide a more extensive range of solutions to the food and nutrition sectors. Dyad Labs, a U.S.-based specialty testing company, specializes in chemistry and microbiology testing for the nutraceutical and food and beverage industries. This acquisition enhances Merieux NutriSciences' position in delivering comprehensive testing services and solutions to its clientele.
