UHT Milk Market Is on Track To Hit $126,174 Million by 2030

(MENAFN- P&S Intelligence) The demand for ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk, sometimes referred to as long-life milk, has a lot of room for expansion. One main factor driving UHT milk sales is the growing habit of consuming milk on the move.

Due to their increasingly hectic schedules, people nowadays are forced to look for alternatives to regular liquid milk, which must be refrigerated and has a finite shelf life.

By 2030, the UHT milk market will be worth $126,174 million. This is attributable to increased knowledge of this product, which urban young prefer owing to its busy lifestyles, extended shelf life, and ease of use.

Due to its perishable nature, regular milk consumption is declining in both developed and developing countries' metropolitan areas. The ultra-heated milk is used worldwide as an alternative to traditional milk.

The rise in the number of individuals with hectic schedules and the absence of refrigeration facilities in growing nations are the two main drivers of the worldwide industry.

Whole Milk IS Most Popular

The most popular type of milk is whole milk, often known as full-cream milk, and it is normally sold with a fat content of 3.5% or more. This group occupied about 60% of the market. Whole milk is beneficial throughout the formative years because it contains high phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins B1, A, and D.

Due to its great nutritional content, it is primarily ingested by youngsters, teens, nursing moms, and bodybuilders. Whole milk is often used in restaurants and coffee shops since there is a great need for milk with a significant whipping quality.

One of the key drivers of the industry is a scarcity of refrigerated space. Food items that are more prone to bacterial growth need to be refrigerated. Raw milk needs to be kept cold until it's eaten.

Because of the high cost of refrigeration, the scarcity of chilled space, and the protracted power outages, consumers are more prone to use goods that endure a long time without refrigeration in developing countries.

Growing Consumer Demand for Full-Fat UHT Milk

When alternative methods are insufficient, whole milk and cream are subjected to UHT treatments.

For instance, while making whole milk, the cream portion contains fat globules that cannot pass via the microfiltration membrane—it is the first UHT treated before being combined with the microfiltered skim milk to create a product with a longer shelf life.

Toddlers best consume full-cream UHT milk under 2 years old, expectant mothers, and bodybuilders since it contains much more fat than semi-skimmed and skimmed UHT milk.

Direct and Institutional Sales Will Surge

The direct/institutional category will have the greatest CAGR in the coming years. This is a result of rising sales at government agencies and restaurant franchises. Restaurant chains are starting to emerge as important clients to satisfy the milk industry demand, particularly for variations with a larger whipping capacity.
