Global X-ray Food Inspection Equipment Market Size is Expected to Grow to $598.12 Million by 2029

Global X-ray Food Inspection Equipment Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global X-ray food inspection equipment market size was $519.04 million in 2023 and is expected to grow to $598.12 million by 2029.

X-ray food inspection equipment generates X-rays through the equipment and applies X-ray penetration capabilities to detect metal foreign objects mixed in products and dense non-metal foreign objects. In addition, the X-ray food inspection equipment can also perform product missing detection, damaged packaging detection, and weight detection.

Widely Used in the Processed Food Industry

In recent years, food manufacturers' demand for advanced X-ray food inspection equipment has increased. The advancement of X-ray food inspection equipment technology is an important factor in promoting the development of equipment. X-ray inspection equipment can inspect stones, metals, glass, rubber, plastics, and bones. Manufacturers continue to make technological improvements and innovations. Technological advances have made X-ray food inspection products faster, more accurate, and better in performance, and they are more and more widely used. By application, the processed food segment occupies the biggest share.

Market Drivers

In recent years, the rapid development of the global economy has significantly improved people's living standards. At the same time, there are higher requirements for food production safety and food hygiene. Food safety is not only closely related to people's physical health but also plays a very important role in social and economic development. If foreign bodies are found in packaged foods, it will not only cause harm to consumers but also affect the manufacturer's brand effect and hurt food manufacturers. Therefore, the market attaches great importance to food quality and production safety issues, which promotes the development of the X-ray food inspection equipment market.

The increasing global attention to food safety and the promulgation of food management regulations by various countries’ regulatory agencies have forced manufacturers to pay more attention to product quality. For example, in the United States, the FDA is mainly responsible for monitoring food safety. All food sold in the EU must comply with food hygiene regulations, which first require these products to be safe. In China, the Food Safety Law was revised in 2021. The regulation of food safety laws will drive the food foreign body inspection market and promote the demand for X-ray food inspection equipment.
