Freeze-Dried Food Market Overview:
Freeze-Dried Food market was valued at US$ 98.56 Billion in 2023, growing from US$ 172.23 Billion in 2030. It is estimated that the Global Market is to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% over the forecast period.
The demand for non-perishable food surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, driven by consumers’ stockpiling behavior and limited access to public spaces during extended lockdowns. Consumers, particularly in North America and Europe, with higher disposable incomes, significantly contributed to the market’s growth. For instance, Mountain House, a company specializing in freeze-dried foods, reported a 10-fold surge in online sales during February 2020, with retail orders increasing fivefold.
In the short term, the market is projected to benefit from the growing food processing sector and the rising popularity of ready-to-eat and convenience foods. The increasing awareness about the harmful effects of synthetic food additives is also boosting the demand for healthier, naturally preserved products. Additionally, the technology’s application in preserving heat-sensitive food products, the rise in freeze-dried pet foods, and its incorporation across various food items for extended shelf life are among the major drivers supporting market expansion.
Market Dynamics:
Freeze-dried foods are increasingly used across multiple segments, including bakery products, cereals, fruit snacks, and vegetable-based snacks. In the bakery industry, freeze-dried fruits are essential for adding color and flavor to desserts and are commonly used in whipped creams and icing. The trend towards healthy snacking is accelerating, with consumers preferring products that are vegan, gluten-free, and made without artificial preservatives. Companies like Berry Golden, for example, offer freeze-dried Golden Berry Bites—a nutritious snack that contains antioxidants and vitamins but is free from preservatives and added sugars, appealing to both children and adults.
The growing focus on food preservation is a major factor propelling the demand for freeze-dried products. This method is widely used for items such as meat, seafood, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, ensuring longer shelf life while retaining essential vitamins and minerals. Moreover, freeze-dried food, which undergoes dehydration to prevent contamination, is lightweight, easy to transport, and requires minimal preparation—making it ideal for adventure travelers. However, the high cost of freeze-drying equipment could pose challenges to market growth over the forecast period.
