When assessing their own cooking skills from fair to excellent, age and years of cooking experience dont necessarily translate into a higher skill level in the minds of U.S. homemakers, according to The NPD Group, a leading market research firm. NPDs Kitchen Audit 2011 study finds that 60 percent of homemakers, ages 25-34, and 57 percent of homemakers, ages 35-44, rated their cooking skills as very good compared to 50 percent of homemakers, ages 45-54, and ages 65 and over, who also rated their skills at that level.

NPDs Kitchen Audit, a survey conducted every three years by NPD to determine what food ingredients U.S. households have on hand and what appliances, cookware, and utensils they own, and to assess usage and sources of recipes, reports that only a small percentage of homemakers, across all age groups, rated their cooking skills as excellent. The highest percentage of homemakers, 16 percent, rating their skills as excellent was in the 55-64 age group, and the lowest percentage, 10 percent, was in the 25-34 age group.

Food and appliance manufacturers use Kitchen Audit primarily for product development and recipe development, said Dori Hickey, director, product management, whose team conducts the Kitchen Audit. They will consider the homemakers cooking skills self-assessment when developing recipes and future product and marketing strategies.

Other findings from The NPD Groups Kitchen Audit 2011 study include:

Follow us on LinkedIn – Automated and rapid microbiological tests have emerged into a core subdivision of applied microbiology. These tests have been largely gaining importance as a major area of research and application, for examining various kinds of microorganisms that are root cause of several diseases. With humans and bacteria locked in a perennial biological warfare, there exists a perpetual need for new and advanced rapid microbial testing methods and instruments. In addition, with fresh outbreaks of new diseases caused by ever changing and adapting mutating variants of bacteria, identifying pathogens in food, water, environment, and in the human body continues to gain importance. The ability to positively impact public health lies in quick, rapid and accurate identification of an infection and its causative bacterium. Learning to track, find, prevent and destroy these pathogens is a constant challenge confronting the medical community, which in turn ensures secure future for the automated and rapid microbiological tests market.

Advancements in technology are leading to sweeping changes in the market for automated and rapid microbiological tests. Time constraints plaguing traditional testing methods are driving laboratories to opt for automated and rapid microbiological tests. Rapid tests allow for quantitative detection of pathogens in as short a time as 1-2 days, in contrast to conventional testing which takes 5-10 days. A vast majority of first-generation rapid tests are based on technologies such as immunoassays, chromatography and polymerase chain reactions, while second-generation rapid tests are engineered on advanced concepts of biotechnology and molecular diagnostics. The sheer number of rapid tests and their various technologies available in the market unnerves prospective buyers thereby making an appropriate purchase decision a hard task. Intimidated by the numerous high-flown technology related issues, buyers generally find themselves caught in a quagmire of environment-product-need fulfillment pros and cons that ultimately shape the systems ability to truly meet specific end-user requirements and needs.

As stated by the new market research report on Automated and Rapid Microbiological Tests, the US continues to remain the largest regional market. Rapid microbiological tests market in the US is replete with strong market-focused players, with a broad portfolio of tests along with highly specialized offerings. Market saturation coupled with moderate price sensitivity is spawning an era of vertical and horizontal integration across the market, enabling companies to optimally target customers with broad-based, cost-efficient test services, given the low level of technology development. Advancements in molecular diagnosis such as the genetic probe tests hold the potential to cannibalize the market for traditional rapid microbiology tests.

Europe is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 5.6% over the analysis period. Rest of World market, comprising emerging economies of Asia Pacific and Latin America, offers significant growth opportunities in the automated microbiological test systems segment. With numerous laboratories continuing to grow in these regions, upgradation to automated instrumentation systems is expected to rank as the top priority in coming years. The market for Automated Identification and Susceptibility Systems is the largest end-use segment, while GC/Chlamydia Rapid Tests represents the fastest growing end-use segment with a CAGR of 5.3% over the review period.
