The global increase in malpractices and the number of fraud and adulteration incidents for meat & meat products have resulted in the enhanced growth of this market. Thus, given the widespread cases of adulteration and food fraud, along with growing consumer concern for safety & quality, and with increasing stringency of regulations and their effective monitoring of the supply chain, the market for speciation testing is projected to grow at a significant rate in the upcoming years.

The meat speciation testing market, based on species, has been segmented into cow (Bos taurus), swine (Sus scrofa), chicken (Gallus gallus), horse (Equus caballus), sheep (Ovis aries), and other species such as turkey, goat, and rabbit. The chicken (Gallus gallus) segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR among all species from 2016 to 2022. However, with the increasing prices of chicken, several meat manufacturers and processors are engaged in fraudulent practices and are involved in adulteration and fraudulent substitution of chicken with pork and other contaminating species. Several cases of chicken meat adulteration have been detected around the world, which is fueling market growth for the chicken (Gallus gallus) segment.

The global market, based on technology, has been segmented into PCR, ELISA, and other technologies (such as LC-MS/MS). The PCR segment is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing by 2022. Besides the market drivers, significant growth in adoption of this technology for meat speciation testing can be attributed to drawbacks of the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technology, wherein DNA analysis is conducted by the technology for accurate determination of meat species in products even at 0.1% levels of detection.


The meat speciation testing market in the Asia-Pacific region is driven by various rules and regulations implemented by different countries in the region. Food security standards are getting stringent year-on-year to ensure safer supply of food to individuals in local and foreign countries.

Fruits & vegetables are estimated to form the most important segment in the bioinsecticides market.

Fruits & vegetables form the fastest-growing segment in the bioinsecticides industry. There is high growth in the cultivation of greenhouse high-value crops. The demand for high-quality crops with no residue and an increase in demand for organic food is driving the market growth. With the increasing cultivation, heavy infestation of insect pests in the crops is witnessed, which deteriorates the quality and overall appearance of the produce. This results in a huge loss of crops, leading to a decline in the economy of the countries, especially those that significantly rely on agriculture. Therefore, farmers have been using the bioinsecticides in combination with conventional chemicals, which has helped them in achieving no residue crops with internationally accepted standards.

Foliar spray is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment in the bioinsecticides market.

Foliar spray is projected to be the largest-growing segment during the forecast period from 2020 to 2025. Foliar spray is widely used across the world, due to its easiness and safety in application. It can be applied to the infected area for fairly quick results when compared to other methods. The handling of bioinsecticides in foliar spray has been seamless for farmers, especially in high-value crops. The long shelf-life of foliar spray formulation demands less maintenance, which is driving the growth of the bioinsecticides market.

The increasing demand for bioinsecticides in the North American region is projected to drive the market.

The North American region accounted for the majority of the global bioinsecticides market share in 2019. The US is one of the leading countries for the export of various fruits and vegetables. Consumers are shifting their eating habits to residue-free crop produce. An increase in the awareness of pesticide residue levels in crops is driving the adoption of bioinsecticides. Also, the huge presence of companies in the US has led to investments and research on biological crop protection products.
