In tropical countries such as India, Australia, Africa, and South America, milk processing and the processing of other liquid and non-liquid products are more challenging than in temperate climates with a well-developed cold chain infrastructure, owing to higher temperatures, humidity, and limited resources. Thus, milk and other liquid products experience spoilage at a higher rate, while cheese ripens too quickly, as it is often difficult to ensure adequate cooling conditions.

UHT treatment can be successfully employed as a method for treating liquid and semi-liquid food & beverage products, which are in demand for having a longer shelf life, thereby eradicating microbiological contamination in them. This feature of UHT-treated products remains beneficial for developing countries that are in proximity to the equator or have a tropical climate, by helping them curb logistical and refrigeration costs.

The UHT treatment of liquid and semi-liquid food & beverage products has been developed to minimize damage while improving the shelf life of products, especially milk and juices, caused by in-container sterilization at the time of killing or inactivating all microorganisms. Hence, there is a limited likelihood of microorganisms spoiling a UHT treated product during storage and transport. This UHT processed product is then said to be "commercially sterile."

The APAC market is projected to witness high growth due to the increased demand in China and India. On the other hand, the growth of the ethanol market in Europe is mainly driven due to the emission targets set by the EU. North America accounts for nearly 31% of the global isopropyl alcohol produced, with the presence of market leaders such as MGP Ingredients (US) and Cargill (US).

The high demand for ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol in applications, such as fuels, pharmaceuticals, personal care, inks, and paints, is a major factor driving the growth of the global UHT processing market.
