Lack of awareness regarding the benefits of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables will impact the market development. In comparison to fresh items, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables have a number of advantages, including the same nutritional value and a similar flavor along with appearance to that of fresh fruit. However, fresh fruit and vegetable consumption is still higher in many emerging economies like India, Thailand, Indonesia, and others. The agricultural sector accounts for a large portion of the GDP in these nations. Around 7.5% of the world's total agricultural output is produced by India alone. Owing to their extensive agricultural bases, people in these nations are more likely to consume fresh produce, whether it be fruits or vegetables.
