MARKET
The food and beverage industry is continuously evolving to meet the ever-changing preferences and needs of consumers. Understanding consumer behaviour is essential for remaining competitive in a highly challenging market. .
Liquid Dairy Products
White milk is expected to annually grow by 2.2 per cent around the world until 2027, with Central and East Asia accounting for half of the global demand. Global demand for flavoured milk will grow by 1.7 per cent annually by 2027, even though volumes are small compared to white milk.
Technology
Unleashing the power of new food
Imagine if organisms and cells invisible to the naked eye could help solve some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Tetra Pak is at the forefront of developing processing solutions and equipment to produce new food in a more sustainable and efficient manner.
Tetra Pak is already a pioneer in precision fermentation, a technology where microorganisms can be programmed to produce specific fats or proteins. The company is also innovating with biomass fermentation, which involves cultivating protein-rich microorganisms, such as fungi, to be used as the basis for food products. The next step is to scale up production to harvest larger volumes while reducing production costs to make food more affordable for consumers. Collaboration with public, private and academic partners is essential to overcome challenges and bring complete, end-to-end solutions to market.
“New food is about producing essential ingredients, such as proteins and fats, in a more sustainable and efficient manner – to address the need for increased food supply while reducing environmental and climate impact,” said Ida Svensson, Transformation Manager New Food at Tetra Pak. “In the future, we expect that alternative proteins will be produced at scale by cultivating meat in industrial plants and extracting protein from cultured insects. Welcome to the exciting world of new food!”
