• Flow cytometry-based methods
• ATP-bioluminescence
• Biochemical Tests
• Others

Rapid microbiology tests, also known as alternative microbiological methods, are the technologies that allow the user to get microbiology test results faster compared to the traditional culture-plate methods. Rapid microbiology testing provides qualitative, quantitative, and identification results. Qualitative rapid methods provide a presence or absence result that indicates microbial contamination in a sample. Quantitative methods provide a numerical result that indicates the total number of microbes present in the sample. Identification methods provide us with a species or genus name for the microbial contaminant in a sample. The rapid microbiology tests have been broadly segmented into immunology-based methods, polymerase chain reaction-based methods, mass spectrometry-based methods, flow cytometry-based methods, ATP-bioluminescence-based methods, biochemical tests, and others. Immunology-based methods were further segmented into ELISA tests and lateral flow tests. Immunology-based methods held the largest share in the rapid microbiology market due to their wide application in the food and beverage industry. Moreover, low cost and high speed would further fuel the market growth of immunology-based methods.

For the purpose of this study, the global rapid microbiology tests in the food and beverages market are categorised as follows:

• North America
• Europe
• Asia Pacific
• Latin America (LATAM)
• Middle East and Africa

 The geographical segmentation of the global rapid microbiology tests market comprises North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. In the base year of 2015, North America accounted for the largest market in the rapid microbiology tests market due to the presence of major life science companies in the region. Moreover, in North America, enhanced government initiatives to regulate rapid microbiological testing in the industrial setting, especially in the food and beverage segment, have further assisted the growth of the rapid microbiology testing market in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period due to the population growth in the region, increasing awareness about food safety in the region. Rising investments by the major life science companies in the region would further fuel the growth of rapid microbiology tests in the food and beverage market in the region.
