Non-Thermal Pasteurization Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

Non-Thermal Pasteurization Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)

Non-thermal pasteurization is a food processing technology that boosts productivity and sustainability when converting raw ingredients into finished products. Non-thermal pasteurization is also known as cold pasteurization. It is an alternate method of food processing that prevents the food from being exposed to high temperatures, helping to preserve the food's vital nutrition, flavor, appearance, and other organoleptic characteristics. Non-thermal pasteurization can be accomplished by a number of different techniques, including high-pressure processing (HPP), microwave volumetric heating (MVH), pulsed electric field (PEF), etc. It has the distinctive ability to eliminate all pathogenic microorganisms, maintaining the food's quality and safety. The food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries are where it is most commonly used.

The Non-Thermal Pasteurization Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 18.5% majorly due to the expansion of the convenience food industry, which includes goods like frozen foods and ready-to-eat foods. These technologies shorten the processing time and boost production capacity to satisfy the expanding market demand. However, high capital expenditure is impeding the market's expansion for non-thermal pasteurization. For instance, Stay Fresh Foods was acquired by Universal Pure, a US-based High-Pressure Processing (HPP) company, in July 2019. This acquisition was undertaken to enable Universal Pure to broaden the scope of its commercial activities and serve more clients.

• Based on form, the market is divided into solid and liquid categories. It is predicted that the solid segment will hold a larger market share during the forecast period. This is due to the employment of non-thermal pasteurization processes in food goods including cheese, jellies, jam, processed meals, meat products, etc. However, a number of technologies, including HPP and PEF, are used to enhance the extraction of a number of bioactive ingredients and sugars in order to preserve the food for a longer period of time.
• Based on technique, the market is segmented into High-Pressure Processing (HPP), Pulse Electric Field (PEF), Microwave Volumetric Heating (MVH), and Ultrasonic, Irradiation. In 2020, the HPP (High-Pressure Processing) Segment held the biggest revenue market share. While also extending their shelf life, it aids in keeping food items fresh. HPP makes ensuring that the food preservation and microbial inactivation mechanisms are working. Additionally, during the predicted period, the target customers' increasing income levels would positively impact beer demand, propelling the non-thermal pasteurization industry.
• Based on application, the highest revenue market share in recent years was accounted for by food. Meat, fish, produce, and other processed goods are frequently preserved using non-thermal pasteurization in the food sector. Among the fruits and vegetables that have been processed utilizing high-pressure processing and pulsed electric field technologies are oranges, mandarins, and broccoli. As a favored food processing technique for transforming raw food ingredients into products fit for human consumption, non-thermal pasteurization is becoming more popular. The Non-Thermal Pasteurization Industry is driven by the technology's ability to eradicate pathogens and guarantee the safety of food.
• For a better understanding of the market adoption of the non-thermal pasteurization industry, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in the countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Spain, Italy, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. The non-thermal pasteurization market in the North America is anticipated to experience the highest rate of revenue growth throughout the forecast period. North America led the non-thermal pasteurization market due to stringent food safety standards of the regulatory authorities in North American countries. Additionally, the efficient enforcement of these food rules makes a substantial contribution to the expansion of the local market. Additionally, the region's food product makers' growing understanding of the value of non-thermal pasteurization fuels the market's expansion. Additionally, North American markets are swamped with packaged goods, in contrast to undeveloped and underdeveloped countries, where consumers must make do with loose, unbranded goods.
• Some of the major players operating in the market include, Hyperbaric; Thyssenkrupp AG; Kobe Steel LTD.; Universal Pure, LLC; Elea Technology GmbH; Nordion (Canada) Inc.; Stansted Fluid Power Ltd; Avure Technologies Inc.; Shandong Pengneng Machinery Technology Co., Ltd.; and Multivac Group. The market is diversified with a large number of global and regional market players.
