Demand for food safety products in the US is forecast to increase 7.3 percent annually to $4.5 billion in 2016. Smart labels and tags, and software and tracking systems will see the fastest gains by product, followed by diagnostic products. Food processing plants will remain the largest market, but will be slightly outpaced by other, smaller markets.

This study analyzes the $3.2 billion US food safety product industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by product (e.g., disinfection products, diagnostic products, disposable gloves, smart labels and tags) and market (e.g., food processing plants, foodservice establishments, farms, retail).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 43 industry players, including Ecolab, 3M and Diversey.
