Food safety product demand in the foodservice sector will also be boosted by efforts on the part of restaurant operators to avoid the devastating impact of a foodborne illness outbreak on their image. In particular, such efforts will include the use of more efficient disinfection products, which 
will fuel demand for disinfectants and sanitizers used in restaurants and other eating and drinking establishments.
(From a PRLog.org article)Â Â Â Â US demand for food safety products is forecast to rise 6.6 percent per year to $2.9 billion in 2014. Recent high-profile foodborne illness outbreaks, in addition to large product recalls due to food safety concerns, will continue to fuel demand, as the prevention, identification and traceability of food contaminants will remain key issues for consumers, food industry participants and legislators. Demand for food safety products will also be boosted by the adoption of more stringent food safety regulations. For instance, projected increases in the frequency of food plant inspections will raise demand for diagnostic testing products.
Advances will also be supported by growth in food and beverage production, and expansion in the foodservice industry, as food processing plants and foodservice establishments constitute the largest markets for food safety products. Sales of smart labels and tags will exhibit the fastest gains, driven by the rapid adoption of new smart label technology in food packaging.
