The global market, based on type, has been segmented into herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and others which include acaricides, nematicides, rodenticides, and disinfectants. The herbicides segment is projected to be the largest and fastest growing in pesticide residue market through 2022.  Some of the major herbicides include glyphosate, atrazine, 2, 4-d, dicamba, and trifluralin. Examples of insecticides include permethrin, aldicarb, and chloropyrifos.

The global market, on the basis of technology, is segmented into LC-MS/GC-MS, HPLC, gas chromatography, and others such as immunoassay and other test kits. The LC-MS/GC-MS and HPLC are the two largest technologies used in the pesticide residue testing.  LC-MS, which is a combination of liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, is a powerful technique that has very high sensitivity, making it useful in many applications. HPLC is the second largest technology used to detect residues in the food. The increase in the convenience and ease of use of chromatography devices is increasing the adoption rate of chromatography instruments in food safety testing.

The Asia-Pacific region is projected to be the fastest growing market through 2022 due to the increasing food safety concerns among the consumers and the growing market for processed food. The region is a significant trading partner with the developed regions such as Europe and North America. China is projected to be fastest growing country in the Asia-Pacific region. The country is required to follow stringent regulations imposed by the importing countries for the food safety testing for pesticide residue. As the country is the largest pesticide producer and exporter in the world, increasing instances of pesticide contamination in the air, water bodies, and soil, and pesticide-induced deaths have also become a serious concern which results in an increase in demand for pesticide residue testing.
