Key Insights
Meats and poultry hold the largest market share, as HPP enhances the quality, safety, and shelf life of meat products. Both raw and processed meats benefit from HPP to prevent contamination during processing.
Juices and beverages represent the fastest-growing segment, as HPP preserves the freshness and nutritional content of juices and beverages without the need for heat pasteurization.
HPP is also utilized in seafood to eliminate pathogens, ensuring safety and extending shelf life, while fruits and vegetables benefit from this method to preserve freshness and prolong shelf life.
Supermarkets and hypermarkets are expected to generate the highest revenue, reaching $8.1 billion by 2032, due to their extensive variety of HPP products catering to a large consumer base. Convenience stores and online retailers are also growing distribution channels, offering a range of HPP products suitable for consumers seeking quick and ready-to-eat options.
