DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Dehydrated Food Market – Growth, Industry Trends, COVID-19 Impact Analysis, and Forecasts (2021-2026)” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global dehydrated food market is forecasted to register a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for non-perishable food products, especially the freeze-dried food that can last up to 30 years without degrading in quality, including meat products or its alternatives, vegetable, fruits, prepared meals, etc., have witnessed a huge surge in the consumer demand. It is mainly driven by the stock piling nature of the consumer during the pandemic, caused by an extended lockdown, and in most cases, even the consumers avoided stepping outside in the public areas in order to safeguard themselves.

Moreover, in order to maintain the immune system during the pandemic, the consumers are highly concentrating on adding sufficient protein content in their diet, which results in augmenting the sales of freeze-dried meat products, dairy products and others that have more shelf-life together with similar nutrients like that of the fresh products.

Furthermore, the vegan and plant-based freeze-dried food products are witnessing an inflated demand amid changing consumer demands. This is primarily due to the prolonged shelf life of freeze-dried products, which can be purchased in larger quantities at a time to tackle the hectic work schedules, over the fresh food products that require frequent buying in lesser quantities. The overall market is driven considerably, primarily amid North American and European consumers owing to their higher purchasing power, thus, adding up to the value of the market studied.
