Food Dehydrator Market Size

Food Dehydrator Market Size

Food Dehydrator Market size was valued at USD 2.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to record more than 6% CAGR between 2024 and 2032, owing to the surging awareness about food wastage.

Food dehydrators are used across commercial end-users as more customers are experimenting with their culinary tastes by trying dried foods. These machines assist in removing moisture from the food to increase their lifespan. They are also employed to preserve fruits, herbs, and meat. A major difference between the traditional food dehydration process and food dehydrators is that the latter can dry out and preserve foods without the need to use any additional preservatives, such as sugar, salt, and oil. This can make the end-product healthier for consumption.
 

Processed foods are gaining notable traction among the younger population as they can directly consume these products, thereby saving on time and effort. Lately, food processing is widely favored to extend the shelf life of the product without compromising on its nutritional value. This factor will boost the product deployment.  However, the high calorie content of many dehydrated foods will impede the market growth. Dehydrated food has the same nutritional value as fresh food, but often it increases its calorie content.
