Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zx56jv/hpp_high) has announced the addition of the "Worldwide HPP (High Pressure Processing) Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018" report to their offering. The HPP products market value has increased from 2011 to 2012 and is projected to reach about $14 million by 2018. HPP (High Pressure Processing) technology is used for food products that have high liquid content. The technology is utilized in the commercial market to process fruits, juices, etc. It is used extensively by food and beverage manufacturers located in the U.S. and Spain to extend the products' shelf life and improve food safety. The food & beverage processors create products that are minimally processed with a clean label. Clean label products are those products that are prepared from ingredients that consumers can recognize and understand. High Pressure Processing technology is also implemented by meat & seafood processors to meet the desired tenderness and extract the meat from crustaceans. The HPP market is divided into equipment market and products market. Both Bottom-up and Top-Down approaches have been used to derive the market value ($Million) of the HPP equipment market. Market value is estimated with the use of company revenue of key players and primary research. The HPP products market is also derived using both Bottom-up and Top-Down approaches.
