Food Intolerance Testing Market Major Companies Estimated to Record Highest CAGR by 2027

Food Intolerance Testing Market: Introduction

Food intolerance is an abnormal non-immune response with allergy-like symptoms after ingesting of food. It can result from pharmacological reactions, enzyme deficiencies, or response to toxic or irritant components of food. Symptoms of food intolerance include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), urticaria, skin rashes, nasal congestion, angioedema and eczema, pharyngeal irritations, sinusitis, asthma and unproductive cough, abdominal cramp, mouth ulcers, intermittent diarrhea, nausea, gas, and constipation. Symptoms may include anaphylaxis. Symptoms are usually confined to the gastrointestinal system, for example, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Technological advancements and government funding are expected to drive the global food intolerance testing market during the forecast period. Additionally, reduction in time and cost coupled with increase in the need for customized food intolerance testing fuels the global food intolerance testing market.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Food Intolerance Testing Market

According to data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), the rate of prevalence of food intolerance and allergies to food in the U.S. in 2016 was around 8% among children and 5% among adults. Moreover, reports published on food intolerance and allergies by the WHO over the last decade state that the rate of prevalence of food-induced hospitalizations in the U.S. increased from 0.6 per 1,000 patients in 2007 to 1.3 per 1,000 patients in 2017.
Rising prevalence of food intolerance in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific is expected to drive food intolerance testing market in these regions during the forecast period

The changing economic environment has resulted in high health care expenditure and increased demand for high-quality health care and diagnostic services, leading to remarkable growth of the global allergy diagnostics sector, especially the food intolerance testing segment of this sector
According to the WHO, the global per capita health care expenditure has increased. The global health care sector is expanding at a higher pace than the global economy itself. The global health care spending rose at a rate of 3.9% per year between 2000 and 2017, while the global economy grew at a rate of 3.0% per year.
Middle-income countries are converging rapidly to higher spending rates. The health care spending in these countries rose at a rate of 6.3% per year between 2000 and 2017, while the economy of these countries expanded at a rate of 5.9% per year.
In 2017, the health care spending in low-income countries increased at a rate of 7.8% over that in 2016. In low-income countries, the average health care spending was only US$ 41 per person in 2017, compared to that in high-income countries (US$ 2.937), which is a disparity of more than 70 folds.
High-income countries account for about 80% of the global health care spending. On the other hand, the share of middle-income countries increased from 13% to 19% of the global spending between 2000 and 2017.

Insulin Infusion Pumps Segment to Dominate Global Market
