Dehydrated vegetables and fruits are those where the water or moisture content is reduced to preserve the food and extend its shelf life. Some popular fruits and vegetables that are commonly dehydrated include peppers, bananas, carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, and apples.
Dehydrated fruits and vegetables retain their nutritional value, making them lightweight and nutrient-dense options for those seeking healthy and convenient food choices. The dehydrated fruits and vegetables market expansion is being fuelled by the increasing demand for convenient and healthy food.
Dehydrated fruit and vegetable sales through online retailers is expected to surge as the internet is becoming increasingly popular in this era of digitisation. Online platforms additionally aid in providing insightful data about consumer preferences, purchase behaviour, and market trends.
Rising inclination towards healthy snacks; increasing product development activities; and increasing concerns of food wastage are factors impacting the dehydrated fruits and vegetables market growth
Dehydration eliminates the water content in fruits and vegetables while preserving their nutritional content. This makes them a convenient and nutrient-dense snack option. Epicurium, a UK-based healthy snacks wholesaler witnessed increased sales in its ‘healthy snacking’ category, expanding by 39% in 2023 compared to 2022.
The dehydrated fruits and vegetables market is ripe for innovation. Companies can explore new flavours, blends, and packaging formats to cater to changing consumer preferences. For example, freeze-dried strawberries coated in chocolate offer a unique and indulgent twist on traditional dried fruit snacks.
With an increasing focus on health-conscious consumption, dehydrated fruits and vegetables are seen as nutritious snacks. For example, dehydrated kale chips have gained popularity as a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips.
Dehydration extends shelf life, reducing waste by offering consumers eco-friendly options while combating food waste. For example, a company “Ripe Revival” offers dehydrated snacks made from surplus produce, tackling food waste.
The food services sector benefits from the all-year availability of seasonal fruits and vegetables in the dehydrated form. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables are also easy to handle and since restaurants buy raw materials in bulk, dehydration reduces food waste by extending the usable lifespan of fruits and vegetables. As of 2023, there were around 15 million restaurants globally, with the USA alone having approximately 749,404 restaurants. An expanding food service sector thus positively impacts dehydrated fruits and vegetables market outlook.
Moreover, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables have a concentrated flavour, which helps preserves the product’s natural colour, shape, and mouth feel. Freeze-dried ingredients also have a long ambient shelf life. As a result, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are clean-label ingredients that can be used as natural flavour enhancers in foods and beverages, such as cookies, protein shakes, smoothies, and soups to replace synthetic, artificial, and highly processed materials.
