Key trends expected in this period include advancements in technology, the popularity of superfoods, plant-based offerings, clean-label ingredients, and foods that are naturally preserved.

The increasing demand for convenient snacks is anticipated to drive the growth of the dried blueberries market in the future. Convenient snacks are those that are ready to eat or require minimal preparation, allowing for quick consumption. This trend arises from consumers’ preference for quick, portable, and easy-to-make food options due to their busy lifestyles. Dried blueberries serve as a practical snack, offering a nutrient-rich, portable, and long-lasting alternative to fresh fruit, while still providing antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. For example, in May 2023, the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council Foundation reported that global dried fruit production reached about 3.1 million metric tons in 2021/2022, with a slight increase in 2022/2023, totaling just over 3.1 million metric tons. Thus, the growing demand for convenient snacks is fueling the expansion of the dried blueberries market.

Key players in the dried blueberries market are innovating with new products such as dried blueberry crisps, which offer a crunchy texture, intense flavor, and extended shelf life. These crisps are made from thin, crunchy slices of blueberries that retain their flavor and nutrients after drying. For instance, in March 2024, Brothers All Natural, a U.S.-based producer of freeze-dried fruit snacks, introduced infused freeze-dried fruit crisps in three enticing flavors, Fuji Apples infused with Raspberry, Blueberry, and Strawberry. Packaged in resealable bags, these snacks provide a convenient option for on-the-go consumption and are equivalent to two cups of fresh fruit, exceeding the daily recommended fruit intake per the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines. Each bag contains just 90 calories, making it a healthy and satisfying choice.

In March 2024, the Unifrutti Group, a food production company based in the UAE, acquired Bomarea S.R.L. for an undisclosed amount.

Dried blueberries are blueberries that have undergone a process to eliminate their moisture content, resulting in a lightweight and shelf-stable product. This drying method intensifies the natural sugars and flavors of the fruit, making dried blueberries taste sweeter than fresh ones. They maintain a majority of their nutritional benefits, including fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins. Dried blueberries are frequently incorporated into baking, cereals, granola, trail mixes, and enjoyed as a standalone snack.

The primary types of dried blueberry products include freeze-dried, sun-dried, infused-dried, and others. Freeze-dried blueberries are created by freezing the fruit at extremely low temperatures, followed by moisture removal through sublimation. These blueberries can be either organic or conventional and come in various forms, such as slices, granules, powder, and whole dried fruits. They are sold through convenience stores, forecourt retailers, hypermarkets, supermarkets, specialty shops, independent small grocery stores, other grocery outlets, and online platforms. They cater to a diverse range of end-users, including bakery items, confectionery, dairy products, beverages, cereal and snack bars, cosmetics and personal care products, dietary supplements, foodservice providers, retail, and more.
