Non-Thermal Pasteurization Market

Global Non-Thermal Pasteurization Market Size (2024 to 2032)

The global Non-Thermal Pasteurization (NTP) Market size is expected to be worth US $1.58 billion in 2024, and it is determined to reach a valuation of US $6.70 billion by 2032 with an annual rate of 19.80% over the anticipated period of 2024 to 2032.

Non-thermal pasteurization is defined as an alternative food processing technology, which is suitable for processing and converting raw materials suitable for human consumption. Non-thermal processes like PEF and HPP are increasingly preferred in the beverage industry, as they effectively increase the shelf life of beverages and prevent microbial growth. Non-thermal processes do not expose food to high temperatures, thus maintaining essential flavor, nutrition and appearance, extending the shelf life of food. These factors are also expected to stimulate growth in demand. The beverage sector is likely to be in high demand due to expanding technological market coverage for processed fruit and vegetable juices, wine, sugar syrup, beer, milk, and processed coconut water to effectively increase and prevent life useful of drinks.

The need for preservation of nutrients and sensory properties in food has raised the market for non-thermal pasteurization. The dominance of the prepared food industry, especially in the processed meat sector, was a major factor driving the global NTP market.

Recent Developments in Non-Thermal Pasteurization Industry

• In October 2017, Avure Technologies released the Scalable HPP -AV-M machine, which can be easily upgraded from 40M to 20M and increase capacity up to 180%.
• In January 2018, Bosch launched innovative ultrasound cutting technology to improve food packaging. This new technology maintains quality while reducing stress and pressure on the product.

REPORT COVERAGE

Drivers

The rising trend of fast foods, including the consumption of frozen foods and ready-to-eat foods, has stimulated the demand in the non-thermal pasteurization as this process limits processing time and increases production capacity. Factors such as the need to extend the shelf life of food are driving the global non-thermal pasteurization market. However, in the non-thermal pasteurization market, capital expenditure is high. The demand for non-thermal pasteurization has increased as consumption of prepared foods, such as meal preparation, frozen products, and processed foods, has increased. The adoption of innovative food processing technology to maintain the nutrients in food and increase the shelf life of products will further accelerate the growth of the worldwide non-thermal pasteurization market. Non-thermal pasteurization technology reduces process time and consumes less energy than conventional technology. This supports the expansion of the non-thermal pasteurization market worldwide and is accelerating several innovations made by leading companies to grow the non-thermal pasteurization market worldwide. This is only possible through the development of various technologies in the non-thermal pasteurization process. Government initiatives to establish food processing machinery and equipment may strengthen the market in the coming years. Long shelf life, longer natural colors and textures, tasteless taste, and consumer preference for non-additive foods are driving demand for technology by increasing sales of premium and cold-pressed juices.

Also, as demand for processed foods containing active ingredients increases, market demand may increase as awareness of food security increases. As the use of autoclave processors increases, new growth opportunities are expected for the global non-thermal pasteurization market. The non-thermal pasteurization process is skyrocketing as consumer demand for more delicious, safer, and additive-free food increases. Changing people's lifestyles and busy schedules is forcing them to find packaged, ready-to-eat, and frozen foods. The main factor driving the global non-thermal pasteurization market is the growing demand for preserving vegetables, meat, seafood, fruits, and other types of packaged foods. Also, the energy consumption of the non-thermal treatment is lower compared to conventional treatment. The adoption of non-thermal processes is increasing to ensure microbial inactivation, food preservation, freshness and long shelf life. Non-thermal pasteurization has become very important in the food industry due to the high demand for better quality and healthier items. The increased use of high-pressure processors and increased government investment in food processing equipment and machinery are creating opportunities for market growth.

Restraints

High capital investments are hampering the growth of the non-thermal pasteurization market. Misunderstandings leading to additional regulatory measures to label research foods could act as a deterrent to the development of the non-thermal pasteurization market worldwide in the coming years. Furthermore, strict regulations on health issues are another factor that is expected to hinder the growth of the target market to some extent.

Non-Thermal Pasteurization Market Segmentation Analysis

Markets are classified by technology, application and form.

Based on technology, the global non-thermal pasteurization market is classified as HPP, PEF, MVH, survey, and ultrasound. The HPP segment is a widely used technology, and it is expected to grow significantly in the future, as it helps maintain food freshness while extending shelf life.

By application, the global market is separated as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Non-thermal processes like PEF and HPP are increasingly preferred in the beverage industry, as they effectively increase the shelf life of beverages and prevent microbial growth. In addition, this technology allows you to efficiently preserve color, flavor, and nutrients. This technique helps preserve the nutrients, pigments and flavors of the product. It can gently hold the drink at room temperature. Therefore, these factors are expected to promote market growth. The food and beverage sector are expected to occupy a significant market share as demand for packaged and canned food increases worldwide.

Depending on the form of food, it is estimated that the solid sector during the forecast period has a greater market share. This is due to the use of non-thermal pasteurization technology in foods such as cheese, gelatin, jam, processed foods, meat products, etc. However, various techniques such as HPP and PEF are used to improve the extraction of various bioactive ingredients, sugar to preserve food for a long time.

Regional Analysis

By region, North America was the largest market in the non-thermal pasteurization market in 2018 due to increased demand for the extended shelf life of food and favorable food laws across the region. The growth of the non-thermal pasteurization market in North America is due to increased awareness among food manufacturers of the importance of non-thermal pasteurization. Europe accounted for a significant part of the global non-thermal pasteurization market in 2018, and the forecast schedule is expected to increase significantly. Growth in the region may be due to the high demand for non-thermal pasteurization in the region's burgeoning meat and processing industries. The European region has seen significant growth as the use of meat and beverage products increases in Spain, the United Kingdom and other countries, leading several food companies to adopt heat-free treatment technology to produce clean and natural products. that have not been added antiseptic. The Asia Pacific non-thermal pasteurization market is expected to grow slowly, particularly in developing countries like China and India. Furthermore, as the region's economy grows rapidly, the demand for meat is increasing, especially in China, India, Japan and Australia. The increased demand for meat products led to meat production in this region, which contributed to the growth of the market. Changing consumers' busy lifestyles and raising health awareness are also driving the market growth.
