Market Overview:
The global food irradiation service market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for processed and packaged foods, rising concerns over food safety, and growing awareness about the benefits of food irradiation. The global food irradiation service market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into electron beam radiation, gamma radiation, and x-ray radiation. Electron beam radiation dominates the global food irradiation service market owing to its advantages such as high penetration depth and low dose rate requirements. On the basis of application, fruits and vegetables account for a major share in terms of revenue in 2017 owing to their vulnerability to pests & diseases as well as stringent regulations mandating their processing with ionizing radiations in some countries across regions such as North America & Europe.
Product Definition:
Food irradiation service is a process that uses ionizing radiation to kill or inactivate microorganisms in food. The importance of this service is that it can help reduce the risk of foodborne illness outbreaks.
Electron Beam Radiation:
Electron beam radiation is a type of ionizing radiation used in food irradiation process. It is an advanced form of gamma rays, X-rays and electron beams. Food Irradiation Service providers use electron beam for the purpose of food processing, packaging material sterilization and as a result to increase the shelf life of perishable goods such as meat & vegetables.
Gamma Radiation:
Gamma radiation is ionizing radiation and its rays and is used in food irradiation process. It's different from electron beam technology as it does not use heat to increase the shelf life of food products but uses a special kind of ray called gamma rays which has no smell, no taste, and cannot be seen with human eyes.
Application Insights:
The global food irradiation service market by application is segmented into fruits and vegetables, spices, grain foods, meat and poultry, and others. The meat and poultry segment held the largest share in 2017 due to high demand for packaged food products such as bacon strips, beef jerky treats, ham slices along with increasing consumption of seafood in various dishes.
Grain foods are expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to rising consumer awareness regarding additives used during processing of cereals along with a growing preference for sprouted grains. Furthermore, a rise in disposable income coupled with urbanization has led consumers towards adopting westernized lifestyle which includes eating habits including fastfoods that serve bread made from flour ground from wheat or barley kernels that have been treated with gamma rays or X-rays.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the high demand for packaged and processed food products. The U.S., which is at the forefront of this regional market, accounted for a share of over 40% in terms of revenue owing to its high demand for irradiated food products. Asia Pacific is expected to register significant growth over the forecast period due to rising population and increasing consumer disposable income levels that are conducive towards higher spending on food commodities such as fruits, vegetables, grains, meat & poultry and spices among others.
The Middle East & Africa region is projected to witness substantial growth over the coming years owing with growing awareness regarding health benefits associated with irradiated foods among consumers especially in African countries such as Nigeria and South Africa which account for a large share of export activities from these nations coupled with import activities from other regions including Europe.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for food irradiation services due to the increasing incidence of foodborne diseases and the need for safe and contamination-free foods.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of food irradiation among consumers, which is likely to boost demand for food irradiation services in the coming years.
- Rising number of outbreaks caused by pathogenic bacteria and viruses, which is expected to fuel demand for food irradiation services over the forecast period.
- Proliferation of supermarkets and hypermarkets that are increasingly offering processed foods, which are likely to drive growth prospects for the global Food Irradiation Service market in future years.
