UHT Processing Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2023-2030)
Emphasis on Operation (Direct Heating and Indirect Heating); Nature (Liquid and Semi Liquid); Application (Dairy, Juices and Others); and Region/Country
The global UHT processing market was valued at USD 327 Million in 2022 and is expected to grow a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The rise in demand for food items with longer shelf life, the increased demand for milk and dairy products, and the expanding use of UHT processes for new food products all contribute to the expansion of the global market for UHT processing. The implementation of UHT processing technology is favoured by ongoing advances in science and technology that are extending the shelf life of foods and beverages. Due to the quick perishability of milk and curd, among other dairy products, UHT processing is quickly gaining popularity in the dairy business. According to a Quartz article there are different types of procedures to prolong the shelf life of milk, Processing that has been pasteurized or filtered high-temperature processing. The longest shelf life is seen in ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk. UHT milk has a 12-month shelf life at room temperature. Today, self-stable or UHT milk accounts for about 34% of liquid milk consumption, according to Euromonitor International.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Alfa Laval AB, Elecster Oyj, GEA Group AG, Microthermics Inc., REDA S.P.A., Shanghai Jimei Food Machinery Co., Ltd., Shanghai Triowin Intelligent Machinery Co., Ltd., SPX Flow, Inc., TESSA I.E.C Group Ltd., Tetra Laval International S.A.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst operation, indirect heating segment holds higher market share during forecasted period”
Based on operation, the market is segmented into direct heating and indirect heating. Indirect heating segment is anticipated to witness highest market share during the forecast period with less processing and operational cost (fewer pumps and accessories, energy regeneration), and fewer controls, indirect processing has a low heat transfer rate and a higher rate of deposition over the surface that necessitates frequent cleaning. Indirect processing dominated the market due to its low cost and ability to be used in confined spaces. For instance, The Tetra Pak UHT unit provides dairy products with very high-temperature treatment while functioning more intelligently and effectively. The product should be kept at room temperature, and the aseptic unit employs an indirect heating technique that makes use of a tubular heat exchanger.
“Amongst nature, liquid segment to be fastest growing in the UHT processing market during the forecast period”
Based on nature, the market is segmented into liquid and semi-liquid. Liquid segment to be fastest growing in the UHT processing market during the forecast period because UHT processing frequently sterilizes liquid foods like dairy products, milk, and milk substitutes. The market for UHT processing has grown more as a result of this factor. Since liquid drinks increase energy levels, consumer awareness of health and wellness as well as a growing desire for clear labels and functionality are the main factors driving the expansion. For instance, The demand for UHT protein-based beverages is rising worldwide, according to a 2022 article by Alisson Borges de Souza et al. The potential low stability of these products during processing and storage is a persistently big issue for the dairy industries. In this context, it was evaluated whether pre-heating, homogenization, and the addition of maize fibre could lower the sedimentation level of UHT dairy beverages that contained an equivalent amount of caseins to whey proteins and around 10% w/w of protein.
“Amongst application, dairy segment to be witness highest CAGR in the UHT processing market during the forecast period”
Based on application, the market is segment into dairy, juices and others. Dairy segment to be witness highest CAGR during the forecasted period. Perishable properties of milk and curd, among other dairy products surge the popularity of UHT processing in the dairy industry. UHT processed dairy products help to decrease refrigeration and logistics expenses. For Instance, in 2022, Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) announced the acquisition of two extended shelf-life (ESL) processing facilities from Smith Foods located in Richmond, Indiana and Pacific, Missouri which produces variety of extended shelf-life dairy and non-dairy beverages, ice cream and shake mixes for both retail and food service customers.
“Asia Pacific to be fastest growing region in the UHT processing market”
Asia-Pacific to be fastest growing region in the global UHT processing market during the forecast period due to rising milk production and consumption among strict rules regulations and protocols for local manufacturers which affects positively and supports the Asia Pacific region to dominate global UHT processing market. For instance, in 2021, GEA India received new order to supply a whole UHT production line to Creamy Foods Ltd. in Uttar Pradesh India.
