Increasing Demand for Food Products with Prolonged Shelf Life is Boosting the Market Growth of UHT Processing

The growth in the global market for UHT processing can be determined by an increase in demand for food products with longer shelf lives, a rise in demand for milk and dairy products, and the growing adoption of UHT techniques for new food products. Continuous advancements in science and technology are further assisting the extension of shelf life of foods and beverages, thereby favouring the adoption of UHT processing technology. UHT processing is becoming rapidly popular in the dairy industry due to the quick perishable properties of milk and curd, among other dairy products.

Furthermore, the insurgence of the coronavirus pandemic has spurred the demand for food that is free of bacteria and microorganisms, resulting in increased adoption of UHT technology, and driving the market growth. In line with this, the integration of progressive digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) into UHT processing technology is anticipated to be a key driving force of the market during the forecast period.
