Food dehydrators are used across commercial end-users as more customers are experimenting with their culinary tastes by trying dried foods. These machines help in removing moisture from the food to increase their lifespan. They are also used 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. Generally, food processing is done to extend the shelf life of the product without compromising on its nutritional value. This factor will boost the deployment of food dehydrators. The growing food processing sector in many regions is driving the product adoption.

However, the high calorie content of many dehydrated foods will impede the global food dehydrator market growth. Dehydrated food has the same nutritional value as fresh food, but sometimes, as the dried food loses its moisture, it increases its calorie content. For example, one half of a fresh apricot has 70 calories, whereas the dried version has 212 calories, which will hamper the product consumption among fitness enthusiasts.
