Summary

The dehydrated food industry in the United States stands as a dynamic and essential segment of the broader food processing landscape. Through the meticulous process of removing moisture content from various food products, this industry has carved a niche for itself by offering a range of benefits that include extended shelf life, reduced weight and volume, enhanced portability, and retention of nutritional value. Leveraging advanced technologies and techniques, such as freeze-drying, air drying, and spray drying, the industry caters to diverse consumer demands, spanning from backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking lightweight, convenient meal options to emergency preparedness planners, health-conscious individuals, and even culinary professionals. Moreover, the industry's ability to preserve flavours, textures, and nutrients in dehydrated products has contributed to its integration into a plethora of sectors, encompassing not only retail and e-commerce but also institutional settings like military rations, disaster relief efforts, and space exploration. As the industry continually evolves to meet evolving consumer preferences and technological innovations, it plays a pivotal role in shaping the way Americans approach food consumption, convenience, and sustainability in an ever-changing world. Furthermore, the extended shelf life of dehydrated products is another significant factor contributing to market growth. Dehydration significantly reduces the moisture content of foods, which helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms that cause spoilage. This preservation capability aligns with the growing trend of reducing food waste and sustainability efforts.

According to the research report "United States of America Dehydrated Food Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the United States of America Dehydrated Food Market was valued at more than USD 16 Billion in 2022. Dehydrated foods have a strong association with outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, campers, and adventurers. The lightweight and portable nature of these products makes them ideal for individuals engaging in outdoor activities where carrying bulkier and heavier traditional food items might be impractical. The culture of preparedness in the USA, driven by concerns about natural disasters and emergencies and the need to have non-perishable food on hand, has contributed to the popularity of dehydrated foods. Many individuals and families include dehydrated meals in their emergency supply kits due to their extended shelf life and compact storage requirements. The fast-paced nature of modern life has led to a culture of convenience, and dehydrated foods align perfectly with this trend. These products provide a quick and easy meal solution for people with busy schedules, whether they're on their lunch break at work, travelling, or simply looking for a hassle-free option at home. Based on the methods, the types include spray-dried, air-dried, sun-dried, vacuum-dried, microwave-dried and others. In the USA, spray drying has the highest market share. Spray drying is known for its ability to preserve the nutritional quality of foods. The process operates at relatively lower temperatures compared to other drying methods, minimising the degradation of heat-sensitive nutrients such as vitamins, enzymes, and proteins. This nutritional retention aligns with the growing demand for healthier food options among health-conscious consumers. Spray drying is extensively used for dairy products like milk powder, powdered creamer, and powdered cheese. These products are popular due to their long shelf life, easy rehydration, and suitability for various applications, including cooking, baking, and beverage preparation.

Based on the product types, they include Milk powder, Other Dairy Products, Fruits, Vegetables, Herbs, Fish and Seafood, meat, and others. Among them, milk powder has the highest market growth rate. The production and consumption of milk powder have a long history in the United States. During times of surplus milk production, converting excess milk into powder became a practical solution to prevent waste and extend the shelf life of the product. This historical foundation laid the groundwork for milk powder to become a familiar and trusted pantry staple. Furthermore, the versatility and long shelf life of milk powder have made it a valuable commodity in global trade. The USA exports milk powder to various countries, contributing to its economic significance in the agricultural and food processing sectors. Dehydrated Fruit is also a growing market in the USA. Dehydrated fruits are lightweight and portable, making them a convenient snack option for on-the-go lifestyles. They are easy to pack, require no refrigeration, and can be enjoyed anywhere, making them suitable for activities such as hiking, travelling, and work breaks. Dehydrated fruits are being recognised for their potential health benefits. Consumers are gravitating towards products that offer functional properties, such as antioxidant-rich berries, immunity-boosting fruits, and nutrient-dense options like goji berries and acai.

Based on Form types, there are powder and granules, minced and chopped, slices and cubes, flakes, and others. Powder & Granules is the fastest growing segment in the United States. Powdered and granulated forms of dehydrated foods are incredibly versatile and can be easily incorporated into a wide range of culinary creations. They are used in baking, cooking, beverage preparation, smoothies, sauces, soups, and more, making them indispensable in kitchens and food production facilities. Powders and granules have a compact and lightweight nature, making them easy to store, transport, and handle. This convenience is particularly valuable for households, businesses, and industries where storage space is limited. Powdered and granulated forms of dehydrated foods offer quick and efficient meal solutions. They are popular for busy mornings, office lunches, and on-the-go snacking, catering to the need for easy and speedy meal options. These forms of dehydrated foods are seamlessly integrated into cooking and baking. Home cooks and professional chefs alike use them for their ability to enhance flavour, texture, and nutritional value in various recipes.

The approach of the report:

This report consists of a combined approach of primary and secondary research. Initially, secondary research was used to get an understanding of the market and list the companies that are present in it. The secondary research consists of third-party sources such as press releases, annual reports of companies, and government-generated reports and databases. After gathering the data from secondary sources, primary research was conducted by conducting telephone interviews with the leading players about how the market is functioning and then conducting trade calls with dealers and distributors of the market. Post this; we have started making primary calls to consumers by equally segmenting them in regional aspects, tier aspects, age group, and gender. Once we have primary data with us, we can start verifying the details obtained from secondary sources.

Intended audience

This report can be useful to industry consultants, manufacturers, suppliers, associations and organisations related to the Furniture industry, government bodies, and other stakeholders to align their market-centric strategies. In addition to marketing and presentations, it will also increase competitive knowledge about the industry.
