SEATTLE, May 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Food irradiation is a technology that helps improve the safety and extend the shelf life of foods, reducing or eliminating insects and microorganisms. Irradiation is a process of exposing food to ionizing radiation, such as X-rays, electron beams, and gamma rays, to disinfect, sterilize, and preserve food and food packaging. Like canning fruits and veggies and pasteurizing milk, irradiation can make food safer for the consumer. Irradiation helps reduce food spoilage by bacteria, insects, and parasites.
Moreover, the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have confirmed that irradiated foods are safe. Food irradiation controls food spoilage and eliminates foodborne pathogens, thus, the demand for this technology is increasing in the market.
The global food irradiation products market is estimated to account for US$ 298.1 Mn, in terms of value by the end of 2027, witnessing a CAGR of 4.9%.
Market Drivers:
1. Increasing prevalence of foodborne diseases and outbreaks is expected to augment the global food irradiation market growth over the forecast period.
According to CDC, each year, around 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases in the United States. Moreover, according to WHO, each year worldwide, unsafe food causes 600 million cases of foodborne diseases and 420000 deaths.
2. Increasing demand for food irradiation due to increasing consumer acceptance is also expected to drive the global food irradiation market growth.
The FDA has approved irradiation of fresh fruits and vegetables as a phytosanitary treatment. Irradiation is safe, effective, and helps reduce spoilage of fruits and vegetables. Thus, consumer prefer food irradiation.

Market Opportunities:
1. Increasing concerns among people over food safety and increasing demand for raw food products such as spinach or lettuce is expected to provide ample opportunities for players in the global food irradiation market.
The restaurant industry is booming rapidly as the younger generation of the world prefers international cuisines such as spring rolls, sandwiches, pizzas, burgers, etc., where lettuce is an integral part.
2. Increasing demand for meat and poultry products is also expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in the market. Use of X-ray radiation technology offers long shelf life to foods such as poultry, meat, and spices. X-ray radiation eliminates microorganisms such as insects and bacteria from the food to reduce food spoilage.
Market Trends:
1. Emerging trend of including vegetables and fruits in diet is expected to propel the demand for irradiation to ensure the quality and safety of these food products.
For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved irradiation for the following foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, crustaceans, beef and pork, poultry, wheat flour, shellfish, shell eggs, seeds for sprouting, as well as spices and seasonings.
2. Favourable government initiatives regarding food irradiation are also expected to people the global food irradiation market growth.
For instance, in March 2020, the European Commission (EC) launched a public consultation on the ongoing evaluation of current EU legislation related to the irradiation of food and food ingredients.
Competitive Landscape:
Major players active in the global food irradiation market are Tecleor, Phytosan S.A. De C., Steris Isomedix Services, Scantech Sciences, Inc., Sadex Corporation, Reviss Services Ltd., Nordion Inc., Ionisos SA., Gray Star, Inc., Sterigenics International, Inc., and Food Technology Service, Inc.
