Salmonella testing refers to the process of identifying the presence of Salmonella bacteria in different samples, including food, water, and environmental surfaces. It helps detect contamination responsible for foodborne illnesses, supports food safety, and protects public health by preventing outbreaks of Salmonella-related infections.
The key components of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) include lighting, climate control, nutrients, and others. Lighting plays a vital role by supplying the energy necessary for plant growth and development. The cultivation methods used in CEA systems include hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, and others. The crop types grown include tomatoes, leafy greens, strawberries, cucumbers, peppers, cannabis, and others.
Tariffs have moderately impacted the salmonella testing market by increasing costs of imported reagents, diagnostic kits, and laboratory instruments, affecting food safety testing and clinical diagnostics segments. Asia-Pacific and Europe are most affected due to dependence on cross-border supply chains for consumables. However, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing of test kits and reagents, supporting domestic suppliers and improving supply resilience in regulated food testing markets.
The salmonella testing market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides salmonella testing market statistics, including salmonella testing industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a salmonella testing market share, detailed salmonella testing market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the salmonella testing industry. This salmonella 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 salmonella testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.85 billion in 2025 to $3.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to foodborne illness outbreaks, stringent food safety regulations, growth of packaged food industry, expansion of public health surveillance, increase in laboratory testing infrastructure.
The salmonella testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid diagnostics demand, globalization of food trade, growth in ready-to-eat foods, technological advances in detection kits, rising awareness of food hygiene. Major trends in the forecast period include rapid adoption of molecular diagnostic kits, growing demand for on-site food testing, expansion of regulatory compliance testing, rising use of automation in microbiology labs, increased outsourcing to contract testing labs.
The increasing incidence of foodborne illness is increasingly supporting the expansion of the Salmonella testing market going forward. Foodborne illness refers to diseases caused by consuming food or beverages contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemicals, often resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. The rise in foodborne illnesses is linked to improper food handling, inadequate cooking practices, poor hygiene, cross-contamination, contaminated water sources, undercooked meats, and improper storage conditions. Salmonella testing plays a critical role in preventing foodborne illness by detecting the presence of Salmonella bacteria in food products and environmental samples, thereby enhancing food safety and reducing health risks. For example, in December 2024, according to the European Food Safety Authority, an Italy-based food authority agency, reported foodborne outbreaks reached 5,691 cases in 2023, reflecting a 1.2% increase compared to 2022. As a result, the growing incidence of foodborne illness is contributing to the expansion of the Salmonella testing market.
Leading companies operating in the Salmonella testing market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as molecular diagnostic assays, to improve the speed and accuracy of detecting Salmonella bacteria in food and environmental samples. Molecular diagnostic assays detect specific genetic material associated with pathogens using techniques such as polymerase chain reaction. For example, in April 2024, Neogen Corporation, a US-based food and animal safety solutions provider, launched the Neogen Molecular Detection Assay 2 for Salmonella Enteritidis and Salmonella Typhimurium. This assay enables rapid and precise identification of specific Salmonella strains, offering higher sensitivity and accuracy than traditional testing methods while reducing overall testing time.
In June 2023, IEH, a US-based biotechnology company, acquired SL Stanlab for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, IEH seeks to expand its diagnostic and laboratory solutions portfolio, strengthen its microbiology and molecular testing capabilities, and enhance its presence in the North American biotechnology market. SL Stanlab is a Germany-based diagnostics and laboratory testing company specializing in salmonella testing.
