Agricultural Testing Market: Growth Opportunities and Recent Developments

The agricultural testing market was valued at USD 4.30 Billion in 2016; this is projected to reach USD 6.29 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.64% during the forecast period. Stringent safety and quality regulations for agricultural commodities, increase in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, and rapid industrialization leading to the disposal of untreated industrial waste into the environment are the factors driving this market.

Water and soil are the fast growing segments in agricultural testing during the forecast period

The global market, based on sample, has been segmented into soil, water, seed, compost, manure, biosolids, and plant tissue. The market for testing for soil is estimated to dominate in 2017, and is also projected to be the second fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. The growing contamination of soil, caused by wastewater and industrial effluents, has been propelling the importance of soil testing; this, in turn, is driving the market for agricultural testing.

Spectrometry & chromatographic technologies contributed to the fastest growing rapid technology market in agriculture testing

The agricultural testing services market, by technology, has been segmented into conventional and rapid. The rapid technology segment is estimated to dominate the market in 2017, and is projected to grow at a higher CAGR by 2022. This can be attributed to low turnaround time, higher accuracy, sensitivity, and ability to test a wide range of bacteria in comparison to conventional technological methods.

The safety testing is projected to be the fastest growing market in application segment

The agricultural testing market, by application, has been segmented into safety testing and quality assurance. The global market, by application, was dominated by the quality assurance segment in 2016. The dominance of quality assurance in agricultural testing is attributable to the fact that it aids in proactively resolving major problems related to soil fertility, available water quality for irrigational facilities, and identifying required nutrients essential for a more robust growth and development of crops and other agricultural produce. The market for safety testing is projected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. Safety testing of agricultural samples is conducted to test samples for targets such as toxins, pathogens, heavy metals, pesticides, GMOs, and other organic contaminants. A growing importance given to safety laws for agricultural produce and food commodities is expected to boost the market for this segment during the forecast period.

Europe accounted for the largest market share in the agricultural testing market. The dominant share of this region is attributed to the stringency in food safety, environmental, and agricultural regulations and laws pertaining to the nutritional content, chemicals, and labeling. Europe also has the highest number of testing laboratories among all regions. The Asia Pacific market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 to 2022 and is driven by China, Japan, India, and Australia; this growth can be attributed to the increase in awareness about food safety norms and implementation of regulations for their testing in these countries.

Lack of coordination between market stakeholders and supporting infrastructure in developing economies, and the improper enforcement of regulatory laws are the major restraints for the growth of this market.

The global market for agricultural testing is dominated by large-scale players including SGS (Switzerland), Bureau Veritas (France), Intertek (UK), Eurofins (Luxembourg), TÜV Nord Group (Germany), Merieux (US), AsureQuality (New Zealand), RJ Hill Laboratories (New Zealand), Agrifood Technology (Australia), Apal Agricultural Laboratory (Australia), SCS Global (US), and ALS Limited (Australia).
