세계의 UHT 우유 시장 전망(-2030년) : 제품 유형별, 공급원별, 형태별, 유통 채널별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global UHT Milk Market is accounted for $69 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $118 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. Ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk is pasteurized milk that is exposed to ultra-heat for a short time to kill any unwanted and harmful bacteria that may be present in raw milk without losing any of its nutritional content. After pasteurization, it becomes lighter and requires less processing time, making it extremely safe to consume. It provides various nutrients, such as protein, calcium, carbohydrates, zinc, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, riboflavin, and vitamins A and B12. Compared with fresh milk, it has a longer shelf life at room temperature.

According to ProCon.Org data from 2022, Canada has 59% and the United States has 36% of the lactose-intolerant population.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Extended shelf life

The extended shelf life of UHT milk is a pivotal driver fueling its prominence in the market. The UHT processing method involves heating milk to ultra-high temperatures for a short duration, effectively sterilizing it and eliminating harmful bacteria. This process endows UHT milk with a significantly longer shelf life compared to traditional pasteurized milk. The absence of bacteria ensures that the milk remains microbiologically stable, delaying spoilage and extending its usability.

Restraint:

Price sensitivity

The UHT process involves specialized equipment and packaging technologies, contributing to a slightly elevated production cost. This cost is often transferred to consumers, making UHT milk relatively more expensive on store shelves. Price sensitivity arises from the fact that consumers have limited purchasing power and are more inclined to choose lower-priced alternatives. This can hinder the widespread adoption and growth of the UHT milk market.

Opportunity:

Product safety and hygiene

Product safety and hygiene stand as crucial drivers in the UHT (Ultra High Temperature) milk market, playing a pivotal role in consumer trust and market growth. Consumers, increasingly conscious of food safety and hygiene, are drawn to UHT milk due to its inherent properties that reduce the risk of bacterial contamination. The hermetic sealing of UHT milk further enhances product safety, preventing external contaminants from compromising the quality of the milk.

Threat:

Packaging concerns

The complexity of these packaging materials, including the combination of plastic, aluminum, and paper, may hinder the market's growth as consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability. However, environmental consciousness has led consumers to seek eco-friendly alternatives, pressuring the food and beverage industry to adopt more sustainable packaging solutions.

Covid-19 Impact

The emergence of COVID-19 has caused significant disruptions to the supply chain, variations in demand, production halts, and shortages of raw materials in the UHT milk industry. The dairy sector has been facing unprecedented challenges, and it was not possible to completely cut down milk production owing to low demand and supply issues. Moreover, there have been disruptions to both the raw material supply and the output of dairy products simultaneously.

The skimmed UHT milk segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The skimmed UHT milk segment is estimated to hold the largest share, due to the extended shelf life and convenience. The production of skimmed UHT milk involves removing the majority of the fat content through a separation process before subjecting it to the UHT treatment. This results in a dairy product with significantly reduced fat content, making it a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers seeking a lighter and leaner option. Moreover, as dietary consciousness continues to grow and with an increasing emphasis on healthier food choices, the market for UHT milk is expanding.

The powder segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The powder segment is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. The powder form of UHT milk offers several advantages, including extended shelf life, ease of storage, and reduced transportation costs due to its lower weight and volume. Additionally, the convenience of UHT milk in powder form extends its applications to various industries, including the food and beverage sector, where it serves as a key ingredient in the production of reconstituted milk, bakery products, and confectioneries.

Region with largest share:

Europe commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to the longer shelf life, and changing consumer lifestyles. With a well-established dairy industry and advanced processing technologies, European consumers appreciate UHT milk's ability to offer a reliable and convenient source of dairy without the need for immediate refrigeration. Additionally, the portability of UHT milk makes it a popular choice for travel and outdoor activities.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is expected to witness profitable growth over the projection period. The region's diverse and expanding population coupled with rapid urbanization and changing consumer lifestyles, has fostered a robust demand for convenient and long-lasting dairy products, positioning UHT milk as a preferred choice. Furthermore, the rising middle class, increasing disposable incomes, and a growing awareness of UHT milk's safety attributes further fuel the market's expansion.
