Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Dehydrated Vegetables Market Dynamics

Drivers

• The growing demand due to long shelf life and increasing adoption in fast food chains

Dehydrated vegetables are becoming increasingly popular around the world, as consumer perception of convenience/packaged food products has shifted significantly. Brands are constantly working to expand their portfolio of nutrient-dense dried products in their ready-to-cook and on-the-go offerings, snacks, and meals. Furthermore, the growing demand for food products to be preserved for longer periods of time for use as a raw ingredient in their end product is creating long-term opportunities in the dehydrated vegetables market. The growth of the dehydrated vegetables market is also expected to be fueled by increasing adoption in fast food chains and rising popularity as a raw material for camp food.

• The increasing volatility in raw material availability due to seasonal variations is a major factor influencing consumers to use dehydrated vegetables

The increasing volatility in raw material availability, production, and pricing due to seasonal variations is a major factor influencing consumers to use dehydrated vegetables. Furthermore, the growing year-round demand for products made with seasonal ingredients is fueling growth in the dehydrated vegetables market. Consumer awareness of the extended shelf life of dehydrated vegetables is increasing, opening up new opportunities for stakeholders. Food products with a longer shelf life are becoming more popular in urban areas, where hectic work schedules leave consumers with little time. These changes are also generating long-term opportunities for companies in the dehydrated vegetables market.

Opportunity

Dehydration of vegetables is a process that extracts moisture from vegetables in order to preserve them for a longer period of time. This method is thought to be effective for preventing vegetable spoilage. These dehydrated vegetables have gained popularity among consumers due to their low cost and high nutritional content. These vegetables retain their entire nutrient content, i.e. the 100 percent nutrition content of fresh vegetables, but they take up very little shelf space. This provides food manufacturers with increased ease of transportation of food items from one location to another. This ease of transportation is expected to promote the growth of the dehydrated vegetables market in the near future.

Restraints

Dehydrated vegetables contain a lot of calories, which can make you gain weight. This will be a challenge for the dehydrated vegetables market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Dehydrated Vegetables Market

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in consumer demand for non-perishable food products, particularly freeze-dried food. It is primarily driven by the consumer's stockpiling nature during the pandemic, which was caused by an extended lockdown, and in most cases, even the consumers avoided stepping outside in public areas to protect them. Furthermore, in order to maintain the immune system during the pandemic, consumers are focusing on getting enough protein in their diet, which boosts sales of freeze-dried meat products, dairy products, and other products that have a longer shelf life and similar nutrients to fresh products.
