REPORT DESCRIPTION
Global UHT Milk Market to Reach 139 Billion litres by 2022
Ultra High Temperature or Ultra Heat Treatment (UHT) milk can be defined as the sterilized milk which
is heated to a temperature of at least 132°C for a few seconds followed by a fast cool down. This
process of sterilisation eliminates all the forms of microorganisms including fungi, spores, viruses and
bacteria, thereby, increasing the shelf life of the milk. Post the process of sterilisation, the milk goes
through aseptic packaging to prevent any re-infection by the bacteria and pathogens. This packaging
also ensures protection of the nutritional content, hygiene and storage efficiency.
Owing to the aforementioned advantages of UHT milk, the market is currently experiencing a healthy
growth in both developed and developing regions. Moreover, population growth, increasing
disposable incomes, urbanisation and changing dietary patterns have also added to the growth of the
global UHT milk market. According to a new report by Expert Market Research, the global UHT milk
market reached a consumption volume of 95 Billion Litres in 2016 and is further expected to reach a
volume of 139 Billion litres by 2022.
