Food Allergy Diagnosis & Treatment Market Size To Expand at a Notable CAGR Of 7.6% During 2022-2030

Pune, India, March, 2019/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a report on the Global Food Allergy Diagnosis & Treatment Market

Market Highlights

The food allergy diagnosis and treatment market is estimated to be valued at USD 2.73 billion by 2030 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. Among food source, the seafood segment accounted for the largest market share. However, milk food source segment has been projected to grow at the highest CAGR on account of increasing cases of lactose intolerance in Europe and North America.

In the diagnosis segment, secondary diagnosis steps such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Enzyme-linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA), and others are expected to garner larger market share in comparison to primary diagnosis steps which includes skin prick test, blood test, food elimination diet test, and others. The major factor responsible for the market growth is the growing awareness regarding food-borne allergies and their expensive screening costs.

However, the only bottleneck in the growth trajectory of the global food allergy diagnosis and treatment market are the lack of skilled technical workforce and limitations associated with ELISA testing, such as false positive result, resulting in recurring cost.
