Over the Top (OTT) Market Trends:


One of the pivotal drivers of this market is the growing prevalence of foodborne diseases, which is substantially alerting the consumers and regulatory bodies. It is all about the better comprehension of the most prominent pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella, E. Coli, and Listeria. Consequently, the food industry is compelled to impose rigorous safety measures and test their products on a genuinely regular basis, as they want to avert breaking out of an outbreak, minimize the health risks involved with it, and wish to earn consumers' confidence. In a similar vein, governments across different jurisdictions now impose or have started enacting stringent regulations and standards aimed at encouraging industries to implement well-established food safety management systems. The overall direct influence of these regulations and initiatives is, however, difficult to quantify.
