The Global High Pressure Processing (HPP) Equipment Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers a comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global High Pressure Processing (HPP) Equipment Market Definition

High-pressure processing (HPP) is a “nonthermal” method of food preservation that pasteurises food without the use of heat, leaving dangerous pathogens and vegetative spoilage germs inactive. HPP preserves most foods with little impact on their flavour, texture, appearance, or nutritional value by applying intense pressure (about 400–600 MPa or 58,000–87,000 psi) at cold or mild process temperatures (45°C).

The processing of liquid and solid foods with a high moisture content can both be done under pressure. While pressure treatment destroys bacteria, it has little impact on food chemistry and does not dissolve covalent bonds. Hence, HPP offers a way to maintain food quality without using extensive thermal processing or chemical preservatives.

The terms high-hydrostatic-pressure processing (HHP) and ultra-high-pressure processing (UHP) are also used to describe high-pressure processing in the literature. Notwithstanding the nomenclature, the technique has been hailed as one of the best advancements in food processing in the past 50 years (Dunne, 2005). High-pressure processing is increasingly being used in industry. In applications where heat pasteurisation would negatively impact product quality, it gives food processors the chance to preserve foods with a “cleaner” ingredient label.

Global High Pressure Processing (HPP) Equipment Market Overview

The demand for ready-to-eat/ready-to-cook foods has recently expanded quickly due to the convenience associated with their use. The demand for prepared foods has also increased as a result of the COVID pandemic and the popularity of “work from home” lifestyles. Ready-to-cook packets are practical during times of increased workload and hectic schedules, which offers business potential. The amount of nutrition in food in packets that are ready to cook is likewise substantial. The increased use of packaged food products can be ascribed to improvements in processing methods, such as the use of high-pressure processing machinery to increase food products’ shelf lives.

The demand of consumers for foods with a fresh taste and no additives or preservatives is what has fueled the expansion of high pressure processing (HPP). But, food processors and retailers select HPP for other benefits. Compared to other processing techniques like thermal, it also offers advantages in terms of sustainability and cost reduction. Sustainability is the ability to satisfy current needs without jeopardising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own.

However, High-pressure processing equipment has a considerable drawback due to its expensive initial installation. But compared to conventional methods like heat sterilization, high-pressure processing equipment is much more costly to treat food. The adoption rate of this equipment is also anticipated to be constrained by high-pressure processing equipment’s superior capacity, which can handle larger volume while delivering higher performance.

The largest e-commerce prospects exist for HPP and refrigerated products thanks to local delivery and click-and-collect business models. The most appropriate use of these e-commerce models is for full-basket supermarket shopping. These services will continue to expand tremendously as they add capabilities for customers who wish to do their grocery shopping online as consumer demand for produce and freshness tied to the perimeter of grocery stores and refrigerated HPP products rises. E-commerce companies will expand to meet the growing demand from consumers for nutritious and fresh refrigerated foods.

Global High Pressure Processing (HPP) Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis

The Global High Pressure Processing (HPP) Equipment Market is segmented on the basis of Application, Type, And Geography.

High Pressure Processing (HPP) Equipment Market, By Application
