Ultrasound technology is used for the processing of various food products such as meat & food, fruits & vegetables, beverages, dairy, bakery & confectionery, and others (cereals, grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, spices, and packaged foods). The food ultrasound market was valued at USD 87.7 Million in 2016. It is projected to reach USD 134.6 Million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2017.
The global market is expected to grow at a considerable rate with the rising awareness about food quality, the demand for an extended shelf-life, and nutritional value in food. Further, the ultrasound technique has been emerging as a new trend in the food industry offering multiple functions such as quality assurance, microbial enzyme) inactivation, homogenization, emulsification, cutting, cleaning, drying, thawing, freezing, and others (drying, mixing, freezing, thawing, crystallization, filtration, pickling, marinating, sterilization, fermentation, pasteurization, and packaging).

The food ultrasound market for food, based on frequency range, is segmented into low-intensity high-frequency and high-intensity low-frequency. The frequency to be used is chosen according to the food product to be processed and the function to be performed. Processes such as cleaning, microbial inactivation, and cutting can be performed through both high as well as low ultrasound frequency depending upon the sensitivity of the product being processed and the function which has to be performed.
By food product, the market is segmented into meat & seafood, fruits & vegetables, beverages, dairy, bakery & confectionery, and others. Bakery & confectionery include chocolates, cakes, cookies, and other confectionery products. Meat & seafood processing is the prominent market for ultrasound technology. The demand for ultrasonic food processing is driven by the growing demand for process efficiency through shortened processing time and energy-saving technology.
