Axiom MRC has updated all it's market research reports with the Economic Impact Analysis of COVID19 Pandemic on the market. Our team of analyst are following Comprehensive Three Dimensional (3D) Research Methodology along with large number primary interviews with key industry participants to bring insightful market reports to meet the current market requirements.
Ultra-high temperature processing (UHT), ultra-heat treatment, or ultra-pasteurization is a food processing technique that disinfects liquid food by heating it above 135 °C (275 °F). It is the temperature required to kill bacterial endospores – for 2 to 5 seconds. UHT is generally used in milk production, but the process is also used for fruit juices, cream, soy milk, yogurt, wine, soups, honey, and stews. UHT milk was first developed in the 1960s and became generally available for consumption in the 1970s. In UHT treatment, the goal is to maximize the destruction of microorganisms while minimizing the chemical changes in the product.
Rising demand for food and beverage products with an increased shelf life is accelerating the need for UHT processing market. Moreover, marginal nutritional changes in milk by UHT processing is also likely to influence the UHT processing market significantly. Besides, the reduction in logistics and storage costs is anticipated to have a robust impact on the UHT processing market. Growing awareness of UHT treated beverage products for health benefit among consumer is expected to generate untapped opportunity for the market participants.
The study analyses Global UHT Processing market based on equipment, mode of equipment, end product form, application and geography.
The various equipment required for the UHT processing includes heaters, homogenizers, flash cooling, aseptic packaging etc. The continuous growing focus of the food processing companies to reduce the cost of food processing is helping to grow the demand of the UHT (ultra-high temperature) processing technology. Heaters segment is likely to hold a lion’s share during the foreseeable timeframe. The continuous innovation in equipment’s along with new product launches will boost the demand of the modern food processing equipment to support the growing food processing industry.
Direct and Indirect UHT processing are the two modes of equipment. Based on it, the direct UHT processing is likely to grow at a fastest CAGR over the forecast period. The direct UHT processing segment is projected to grow at a rapid pace as most manufacturers who have invested in direct UHT processing equipment find it better in functionate and operation, as it protects the food products and is energy efficient. As well as, due to them occupying a smaller floor space in comparison to the indirect UHT processing equipment, leading to them having an increased scope for growth. In the direct UHT processing market, Europe dominates by contributing highest to the market in 2020.
By end product form, the market is segmented into Liquid and Semi-Liquid. The liquid segment is estimated to account for the largest share in the UHT processing market by 2027. As most essential products such as milk, juices, and other dairy products such as buttermilk are liquid, this segment dominates the UHT processing market for the processing of liquid end-products. The market for UHT processing in the Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest-growing for liquid UHT treated products. One of the factors for this is the increased economic growth. However, the inverse trend can be witnessed among the segments’ growth rates, where the market for UHT processing for semi-liquids is projected to grow at a higher rate in comparison with the liquid segment.
The UHT processing market finds application in milk, dairy desserts, juices, soups etc. Milk is the key application of the UHT processing treatment market accounting for over 69% of the total market share in 2020. Consuming milk while on the go has become a popularly growing trend within the recent past, which is one of the primary factors driving the demand for UHT milk worldwide. Demand of this UHT milk can be mostly seen in younger population and for commercial applications. Larger shelf life of the UHT milk is an ideal factor for growing use among students living in hostels as it needs less refrigeration. UHT milk can be stored at room temperature and hence most of the small-scale restaurants and food outlet chains in developing countries use this without investing in refrigeration equipment. In addition, rising household income promotes consumers to show their interest towards the premium products such as UHT milk.
Geographically, the study is comprised of the key countries of North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. Europe held the largest market share of global UHT processing market from many years. Well established dairy industry across the region, massive presence of various leading UHT processing equipment or system manufacturing companies, vast existence of many leading dairy product providers and suppliers and increasing consumption of UHT processed milk than fresh milk are key impelling factors expanding the UHT processing market growth across the region. An increasing consumption and production of milk and milk related products such as cheese, flavored milk, milk drinks and others are major factors that are flourishing the growth of UHT processing market.
