Dehydrated Vegetables Global Market Report 2024

The dehydrated vegetables market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.78 billion in 2023 to $16.98 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The increase in the historical period can be credited to advancements in the convenience food sector, challenges related to seasonal availability, emphasis on reducing food waste, the global expansion of food supply chains, and the expansion of online retail channels.

The dehydrated vegetables market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The forecasted growth is driven by the growing consumer preference for plant-based foods, heightened interest in sustainable agriculture, a focus on clean label products, and government initiatives advocating for dehydration. Key trends anticipated in the forecast period encompass advancements in dehydration technologies, sustainable packaging solutions, personalized blends and mixes, technological progress, and innovations in dehydrated snacks.

The anticipated growth in the dehydrated vegetable market is set to be propelled by the expanding fast-food sector. Fast foods, characterized as quick, convenient, and affordable alternatives to home-cooked meals, utilize dehydrated vegetables in the production of immediate ready-to-eat meals, condiments, and flavorings for various seasoning goods such as sausages, pickles, chutneys, and spices. For instance, according to a report by the Census and Statistics Department, a Hong Kong-based economic statistics provider, comparing the entire year of 2021 to 2020 revealed a significant increase in total receipts at Chinese and non-Chinese restaurants, as well as sales at fast food restaurants. This data supports the notion that the thriving fast-food sector is a driving force behind the growth of the dehydrated vegetable market.

The surge in demand for ready-to-eat food is also expected to contribute to the expansion of the dehydrated vegetables market. The growing preference for convenient and healthy food options, coupled with the desire for products with prolonged shelf life, has led to an uptick in the consumption of dehydrated vegetables across various culinary applications, including soups, stews, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. A survey by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) in 2021 indicated that around 79% of Indian households opt for instant food due to time constraints. Similarly, in 2020, approximately 36% of Americans consumed ready-to-eat meals. Consequently, the rising demand for ready-to-eat food products is poised to drive the demand for the dehydrated vegetables market.

The dehydrated vegetable market is witnessing a significant trend towards technological advancements, with major companies in the industry actively developing innovative technologies to enhance their market positions.
