India Dairy Testing market Overview

The India Dairy testing market is estimated to reach USD 230 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9% during the forecast period 2022-2030. It was valued at USD 118 billion in 2022. Dairy products are susceptible to damage due to biochemical fluctuation. Also, nowadays, contaminants are being used to earn profits, affecting the consumers’ health. Hence, dairy testing is being done to ensure food safety, check the standards of the dairy-associated products, and determine the shelf life of the dairy products by conducting a sequence of tests.

What is Dairy Testing?

Dairy products are specially produced from natural milk and are commonly consumed worldwide. It is among the essential nutritional sources in the human diet. Different tests, including mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography, and atomic spectroscopy, assure that all products produced are of good quality. This testing shows that dairy products are free from contamination and impurity, including toxic substances, veterinary drugs, and pesticide residues. Dairy testing also helps producers adhere to regulatory conditions for acceptable contaminants, labeling laws, preventative standards of dishonest practices, and foodborne illnesses, toxic influences, or poisoning. Souring and contamination with disinfecting sellers can push Dairy to appear and odor abnormally. Moreover, toxic additives are frequently introduced into these product lines, potentially harming consumers’ health. Dairy Testing is categorized as Safety Testing and Quality Analysis.

Growth Drivers

Upsurge in outbreaks of foodborne illnesses

Foodborne illnesses arise primarily due to the consumption of food contaminated with pesticides, pathogens, toxins, and heavy metals. Dairy is a major cause of foodborne illnesses throughout the world, with the main sources of contamination being raw and unpasteurized milk, cheese, and ice cream. Before or after pasteurization, unsanitary handling of raw milk or pasteurization may lead to pathogenic contamination. Harmful microorganisms and chemical contaminants are dangerous to milk and dairy products’ safety, quality, and nutritional value. Due to the growth in foodborne illnesses, there is increasing concern over the quality and safety of dairy products used for human consumption. Subsequently, increased focus is being placed on the microbiological and chemical analysis of milk and dairy products created to evaluate the quality and ensure safety and regulatory compliance. It has resulted in the introduction of legislation for the rigorous testing of milk and dairy products, thus driving the market for dairy testing.

Opportunities

Technological improvements in the testing industry

The focus on decreasing lead time, sample utilization, price of testing, and drawbacks associated with several technologies have resulted in the growth of new technologies in spectrometry and chromatography. The wide-scale adoption of these technologies permits medium- and small-scale laboratories to develop their service offerings and contend with large market players in the industry, as these technologies deliver benefits such as higher sensitivity, accurate results, reliability, multi-contaminant, and non-targeted screening with low turnaround time. The dairy testing market is noticing several technological innovations, with major players offering newer, faster, and more accurate technologies.

Restraints

Insufficient supporting infrastructure in developing Areas

The dairy market in developing areas is highly fragmented and monopolized by small milk farms. Hence, as milk and dairy products pass via the processing, storehouse, and allocation chain, they face a more danger of exposure to contamination or adulteration. The testing of food samples needs proper enforcement measures and coordination between market stakeholders and supporting infrastructure. However, several developing areas lack these needs; this acts as a limitation to the growth of the dairy testing market. Several factors, such as lack of institutional coordination, equipment, technical skills, and expertise for the execution of legislation at the grassroots levels, and in certain countries, the absence of updated standards is hampering the market’s growth for food samples testing. Inadequate basic supportive infrastructure to arrange testing laboratories also hinders market growth. Thus, supporting dairy safety and quality control services needs considerable development of infrastructure, interaction, and cooperation between the industry and the government. These factors have been acting as a blockage to the growth of the dairy testing market.

Pre-Covid-19 Impact on India Dairy Testing Market

Before the covid-19 period, Dairy was always the top-ranking item in India, nearly equal to the combined output value of rice and wheat. We all know that dairy foods play an important role in nourishing nutrients for growing children and teens. Milk and dairy products have been acting as great protein sources, especially casein, calcium, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, for people of almost all age groups, including adults, seniors and athletes. The dairy industry has always been a full-on-demand sector as these are consumed by people daily. These elements help to grow the dairy testing market before the pandemic period.

Covid-19 Impact on India Dairy Testing Market

During the covid-19 period, the closure of factories due to pandemics led to a reduction in the dairy products market. It affected the scale of production of packaged dairy products and the growth of the dairy testing market. Shut the online platforms, shops, and retail stores due to a worldwide lockdown. It also affected the trade of dairy products, which hindered the dairy testing market in various states around India. The dairy testing market is anticipated to experience a decrease in India’s dairy testing market during the pandemic.

Post Covid-19 Impact on India Dairy Testing Market

After the covid-19 outbreak, the cultural and social importance of milk and dairy products in major parts of India has aided the market growth. Different favorable government endeavors to increase dairy production by artificial insemination also drive market growth. Integrating several technological innovations such as Automatic Milk Collection Station and Bulk Milk Cooling Units in animal husbandry to aid hygienic milk production and facilitate import and export activities is expected to boost the industry growth.

By Type Segmental Analysis

Based on type, the Indian Dairy Testing Market is segmented into Safety, Adulterants, Pesticides, Pathogens, Genetically Modified Organisms and others. Safety testing is anticipated to dominate the dairy testing market during the forecast period. It is due to the emphasis on safety testing of food output by regulatory authorities who focus on improving the safety and quality of Dairy. Testing also helps address regulatory loopholes, prevent adulteration and malpractices, and meet labeling mandates.

By Technology Segmental Analysis

Based on technology, the Indian Dairy Testing Market is segmented into Traditional technology and Rapid Technology. The rapid technology is estimated to dominate the dairy testing market during the forecast period. Rapid technology shows low turnaround time, higher accuracy and sensitivity, and the capacity to test an expansive range of contaminants than traditional technology, driving the dairy testing market for rapid technology.

By Region Segmental Analysis

Based on region, the Indian Dairy Testing Market is segmented into North India, South India, East India and West India. In north India, Uttar Pradesh—is the largest in terms of the human population—is the largest single-producing State by a wide margin. There is significant variation across the States in the shares of production from buffalo, crossbred cattle, and indigenous cattle and in the pace of growth in milk production and yields, that why this is the largest share in the Indian dairy testing market.
