Introduction

Food irradiation is a technology, used to improve safety and shelf life of food by reducing or eliminating microorganism and insects present in food. Food irradiation process use gamma rays, electron beam, and X-rays in order to sterilize, disinfect, and preserve food. Food irradiation is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved technology.

Market Dynamics

Rising inclination towards food irradiation, owing to increasing consumer acceptance of food irradiation is a key factor expected to drive growth of the global food irradiation market over the forecast period. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved irradiation of fresh vegetables and fruits as a phytosanitary treatment. In addition, growing consumer awareness for prevention against food borne diseases is another factor expected to further fuels growth of the target market over the forecast period. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), one out of every 10 people suffer from food poisoning and around 420,000 die annually across the globe.

Ongoing trend observed in the target market is including new and exotic fruits and vegetables in diet is another factor expected to propel growth of the global food irradiation market over the forecast period.

Furthermore, various advantages of food irradiation such as reduction pathogenic microorganisms, improves shelf life, and decontamination are some other factors expected to boost growth of the global market over the forecast period.

However, lack of consumer awareness and higher cost of food irradiation method are major factors expected to restrain growth of the global food irradiation market over the forecast period.

Technological advancements and rising research and development activities are expected to create potential revenue opportunities for players operating in the target market over the forecast period.

Analysis by source of radiation segment:

On the basis of source of radiation segment, the X-ray radiation segment is expected to register significant growth in terms of revenue over the forecast period, owing to increasing consumer preference towards X-ray radiation. The X-ray radiation technology provides longer shelf life to foods such as meat, poultry, and spices by eliminating pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms such as bacteria and insects from food.

Analysis by Region

The market in Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global food irradiation market in terms of revenue over the forecast period, owing to increasing consumer acceptance and government policies and regulations for consumption of irradiated food across various countries in this region. In addition, the market in North America is expected to register significant share in terms of revenue over the forecast period, owing to increasing consumer awareness regarding the benefits of food irradiation and acceptance of new technology across various countries in this region.
