The global freeze-dried fruits and vegetable market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.60%, during the forecast period (2021 - 2026).
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in disruptions of global supply chain and had seen customers increasingly shift to the ambient sector. The lengthy shelf life of items in this category appeals to consumers since it allows them to fill up their pantries. As a result, the global freeze-dried food fruit market has experienced a sharp increase, particularly over the prime buying months. Food supply chains have demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of stresses caused by COVID-19 pandemic. The effect on the agricultural sectors including fresh fruits and vegetables followed by its intermediate product such as freeze-dried fruits and vegetables is marginal, across the globe. In fact, owing to the increased demand for ready-to-eat convenience products among consumers (stemmed from restrictions on going out during lockdowns), benefitted industries such as Breakfast Cereal, Soups and Snacks, etc., further uplifting market studied.
However, over the medium term, expanding the food-processing sector and the huge demand for ready-to-eat or convenience food products, among consumers, have considerably increased in recent years, owing to the busy work lifestyle and increased number of the working population.

Furthermore, emerging economies are likely to become the future hotspots for freeze-dried food products, especially regions in the Asia-Pacific and South America. However, freeze-dried products are expensive to produce and, therefore, more expensive to buy, which is expected to hamper the growth of the freeze-dried food market.
