Increasing focus on health and wellness

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.

Food wastage prompts a shift towards dehydrated fruits and vegetables

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.

Global Dehydrated Fruits and Vegetables Market Trends

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.
