It is more than double the size of any of the other industrial segments including the pharmaceutical, personal care products, beverage, environmental, and the industrial process sectors. SCI estimates that the global food microbiology market exceeded $1.65 billion in 2005, when over 625 million tests were carried out. The industry is more pro-active nowadays. Over the past decade the general population has become more aware of potential issues of food safety.
