The non-thermal pasteurization market is expected to experience significant growth, with a projected value of USD 5.7 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 20.0% during the forecast period. The market growth is driven by the increasing usage of High-pressure Processing (HPP) toll processors. More food manufacturers are outsourcing their HPP needs to these toll processors instead of investing in their HPP equipment due to factors such as high equipment costs, specialized knowledge and expertise requirements, and the need for flexibility and scalability in production.
The demand for nutritional dairy products has been increasing due to growing awareness of the health benefits of consuming dairy products that are rich in nutrients. Non-thermal pasteurization methods, such as HPP, are preferred as they can produce safer dairy products with higher nutritional value, while also reducing production costs.
Pulse Electric Field (PEF) technology is gaining popularity due to its ability to improve the quality, shelf-life, and safety of food products while reducing the use of chemical preservatives and thermal processing. The application of PEF technology in the dairy industry is one of the major factors contributing to the growth of the market. PEF technology is used in the processing of milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy products to improve their quality, taste, and shelf-life.
Europe is expected to boost market growth during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for minimally processed food products that retain their natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value. Non-thermal pasteurization methods, such as HPP, PEF, and UV light treatment, are known to preserve the natural flavor, texture, and nutritional value of food products while ensuring their safety.
