US food safety product demand will rise 6.7 percent annually through 2014, driven by food safety concerns and regulations. The food and beverage processing market will remain dominant, led by the beverage segment. Disinfection and diagnostic products will continue as the most common types, while smart labels and tags will see the fastest growth.

This study analyzes the $2.1 billion US food safety product industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 1999, 2004 and 2009, and forecasts for 2014 and 2019 by product type (e.g., disinfection, diagnostic, smart labels and tags, software and tracking systems) and market (e.g., food processing plants, foodservice establishments, farms).

The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 38 industry players, including Ecolab, Diversey and Becton Dickinson.
