X-ray radiation segment held significant market share in the global food irradiation market due to increasing consumer preferences for X-ray radiation. Use of X-ray radiation technology offers long shelf life to foods such as meat, poultry, and spices. In food irradiation, X-ray radiation eliminates pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms such as bacteria and insects from the food.
North America is expected to account for significant market share 56% in the global food irradiation market. This is owing to increasing consumer preference and acceptance of food irradiation technology. Furthermore, increasing consumer awareness about benefits of food irradiation is another factor driving growth of the market in the region. Advantages of food irradiation such as reduction of chemical use and process safety. The advantages of food irradiation such as reduction pathogenic microorganisms, decontamination, extension of shelf life, and disinfestation is another factor driving the food irradiation market growth in the region.
