Demand for UHT Milk in India Expected to Grow More Than Three Folds During 2010-11 and 2016-17

Online, July 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - UHT Milk currently accounts for less than 1% of the total liquid milk market in India. The product's high shelf life and convenience, however, has been driving this market exponentially in the last few years. IMARC Group, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms, expects the Indian UHT Milk Market to more than triple its current size during 2010-11 and 2016-17.

Finding from the report suggests that UHT milk has a very high shelf life and unopened packs can last for several months without being spoilt. This makes them extremely popular in areas having milk scarcity and which lack a proper cold chain infrastructure. The report also suggests that an increasing urbanization and women work participants will increase the demand for safe, convenient and ready to drink milk in India. With UHT milk being safe and ready to drink without the need of boiling, its popularity among urban households is expected to increase significantly in the near future.
