Milk Homogenizer Machine Market

Milk Homogenizer Machine Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

During the projected period (2023 to 2033), the global milk homogenizer machine market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4%. The milk homogenizer machine market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 4,178.0 Million by 2033 from USD 1865 Million in 2023.

In the dairy industry, homogenization was introduced as a manufacturing procedure to reduce the size of fat globules. Thus, it enhanced the emulsion's stability, as well as the physical and chemical stability of milk.

Food homogenization has evolved from a routine manufacturing step to a well-established and critical operation with applications in a wide range of industries such as the bakery & pastry, beverage, cheese, sports nutrition, coffee products, yogurt, ice cream, and skincare industries. Particle size reduction, dissolving, mixing, dispersion, encapsulation, emulsification, and structuring are just a few of the functions that can be achieved with homogenization.

In the early days, homogenization was brought into the dairy sector as a production step to lower the size of fat globules. Over the years, milk homogenization has grown from a normal manufacturing step to an essential and well-established operation, with a role in a wide array of fields.

Milk being a very complex food containing salts, lactose, fats, proteins, and water, needs to be homogenized. Fats and proteins are considered to be the major components of milk with industrial significance. Fat globules are dispersed in a continuous phase of skim milk as milk is an oil-in-water emulsion.

Fat globules in milk rise to the surface and form a layer of cream if left undisturbed. In the dairy industry, homogenization is mainly utilized to delay or prevent the formation of a cream layer in milk by lowering the diameter of the fat globules. In non-homogenized raw milk, the major percentage of the fat globules is between 2 -12 µm. However, in homogenized milk, the size ranges between 0.2 to 2 µm. Therefore, the homogenization process has a significant impact on the quality of dairy products such as ice creams, curd, and condensed milk.

Various dairy product manufacturers are nowadays coming up with unique and innovative products to attract a large client base. In June 2022, for instance, Keventers, India’s iconic dairy brand, expanded its footprint in the country with the launch of its latest Ice Creamery brand.

It contains six new flavors, namely, Blueberry Cheesecake, Belgian Chocolate, Exotic Strawberry, Mocha Almond Fudge Brownie, Triple Chocolate, and Alphonso Mango. Such novel product launches in both developed and developing nations are anticipated to push the global milk homogenizer machine market in the next ten years.

Besides, increasing demand for specific cheese varieties, recombined milk products, liquid milk, infant formula, ice creams, and yogurts in emerging economies is projected to drive the global milk homogenizer machine market in the evaluation period. In January 2022, for instance, Organic Garage Ltd., a Canada-based independent organic grocer, declared that Future of Cheese Inc., its plant-based food company, is set to introduce its own e-commerce store.

The store is projected to offer a new range of dairy alternative products across Canada. These new product launches are expected to aid growth in the global milk homogenizer machine market.

Highlights of Key Trends

A large number of factors are responsible for pushing the milk homogenizer machine market. Apart from providing insights into countries and segments dominating the global market, FMI has also evaluated the lucrative opportunities, growth drivers, and threats that can influence the progression of the milk homogenizer machine market during the forecast period.

The drivers, restraints, opportunities, and threats (DROTs) identified are as follows:

DRIVERS

• Surging consumption of protein-enriched food and rising production of milk in developing nations are expected to augur well for the global market.
• An increasing inclination towards dairy-based products from meat for achieving proteins and micronutrients is projected to foster sales in the next ten years.

RESTRAINTS

• During digestion, small particles of homogenized milk can be directly absorbed by the bloodstream, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease.
• The reduction of vitamins such as vitamins A and D in homogenized milk is likely to make it less nutritious than non-homogenized milk.

OPPORTUNITIES

• As homogenized milk is smoother than ordinary milk, companies are trying to make consumers shift towards the same for cooking various types of food items.
• As fat cells in homogenized milk have a uniform size, they stay suspended for a long duration, which is compelling key players to extend their freshness.

THREATS

• Small molecules of cholesterol in homogenized milk can produce free radicals in the body, which can lead to premature aging.
• Homogenization of milk tends to make coronary heart disease more serious and more common, as compared to ordinary milk.
