has announced the addition of the "Aseptic Packaging Market in the
Americas 2015-2019" report to their offering.
The Aseptic Packaging market in the Americas will grow at a CAGR
of 9.37% over the period 2014-2019
Aseptic packaging involves the filling of sterilized perishable
items in pre-sterilized packages made of rigid and flexible
plastics, metal, and other materials in a sterile environment.
Aseptic packages ensure ESL for the contents inside it, and also
maintain their original texture, aroma, and other functional
characteristics. Although packages are generally sterilized using
thermal processing methods that involve the application of hot
water, steam-air mixture, and microwave energy, they can also be
sterilized using chemical reagents and radiation treatment. The
items inside it are sterilized using UHT treatment and do not need
any additives for preservation.
One key trend in this market is adoption of electrical
sterilization methods for solid food products. HTST techniques are
mostly applicable to liquids. Ohmic heating methods such as
electrical resistance heating are used to sterilize foods that are
more than a couple of millimeters thick. These heating techniques
are highly energy efficient as almost 90 percent of the electrical
energy is transformed into heat. The process is controlled through
a switch and it is environmentally viable as there is minimal
consumption of fuel.
According to the report, one major driver of this market is
increase in demand from the pharmaceuticals and healthcare sectors.
As a result of the growing consumption of drugs, the need to ensure
they are safe before being administered to patients has become a
major cause of concern. Adoption of the aseptic filling process
ensures the shelf life of drugs is lengthened at a much lower
cost.
Further, the report states that one key challenge in the market
is increased concern over contamination in aseptic packaging. There
is a huge possibility of packages being contaminated during the
aseptic packaging process because of the presence of barriers such
as moisture, oxygen, microorganisms, and light. In addition, errors
in processing aseptic packaging and problems with the workforce
have made the process more vulnerable to contamination from
external sources.
The Aseptic Packaging market in the Americas can be divided into
four segments based on the type of application:
- Milk
