A common topic of this blog is the continued innovation in the food safety testing market in terms of both new technology and new partnerships/acquisitions. Our two new reports, on food microbiology testing in the US and in Europe, document the size and the potential in these two important markets.

There’s a good article by Julian Turner on Food Processing-Technology.com that speaks to some of these new advances.

Turner begins by referring to some of our market statistics, and then quotes my friend and former colleague, Crispin Philpott, now at Roka:

“The global food safety diagnostics market continues annual expansion in double-digit figures,” confirmed Crispin Philpott, strategic account manager at Roka Bioscience and a leading authority in food safety technology.

“It draws the increasing attention of both the investment community and method developers currently outside the space.”

Turner continues:

“This injection of public and private capital is more than matched by intellectual investment on the part of regulators, industry and academia. In short, the brightest and the best in the food safety industry have come together in response to a series of high-profile food contamination cases on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The article highlights some of the new technology coming out of all the continued focus and activity. You can read the full article here.
