The UHT (ultra-high temperature) processing market is estimated to be valued at USD 2.57 Billion in 2017, and is projected to reach 4.71 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 12.87% during the forecast period. The market is driven by the global increase in the consumption of UHT treated products, owing to the rise in consumer demand for convenience, ready-to-use products, and the increase in need for food solutions at remote regions, having a weak refrigeration infrastructure and erratic electric supplies.

The global market, based on mode of equipment operation, has been segmented into indirect UHT processing equipment and direct UHT processing equipment. The indirect UHT equipment segment dominated the market in 2016, and is projected to grow at a relatively higher CAGR during the forecast period. The market for indirect UHT processing equipment is expected to continue occupying a larger share because of the equipment being more economical and compact in comparison to the direct UHT processing equipment.

The UHT processing market, by end-product form, has been segmented into liquid and semi-liquid. The liquid segment dominated the market in 2016, and is projected to grow at a comparatively higher CAGR by 2022. This can be attributed to the large number of new products being treated by UHT. Additionally, milk, being one of the most consumed UHT treated product, remains one of the important drivers for this segment.

The global market, by application, has been segmented into milk, dairy desserts, juices, soups, and others. Milk remains the most important product to be treated by UHT. A rising demand for UHT milk globally is also set to continue improving the product’s market share. An increasing need for products that require minimal refrigeration is also expected to boost market growth for the product. This segment is also expected to be growing at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The milk segment is closely followed by the market for UHT treated juices. Growth in demand for natural and healthy on-the-go drinks among the populace globally is expected to be driving the market growth for the segment.

Europe accounted for the largest market share in the UHT processing market. The dominant share of this region is attributed to the large and widespread consumption of UHT treated products in the region. It has the highest consumption rate of UHT milk among all regions and continues to expand UHT treatment for other products. The growth of the Asia Pacific market is projected to be the fastest from 2017 to 2022, and is driven by India, China, Australia, and New Zealand, as these countries are gradually increasing their production capacities for UHT treatment plants, to cater to export and consumption requirements.

A high initial capital investment structure and the requirement for very high-quality milk for UHT treatment have been a few major challenges or restraints for this market.

The global market for UHT processing comprises a number of large & small players, including GEA Group (Germany), Alfa Laval (Sweden), Tetra Laval International (Switzerland), SPX Flow (US), Elecster (Finland), Microthermics (US), REDA (Italy), Shanghai Jimei Food Machinery (China), TESSA IEC Group (Israel), Stephan Machinery (Germany), Goma Engineering (India), and Shanghai Triowin Intelligent Machinery (China).
