The US Food Freeze Drying Services Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Type (Freeze-Dried Fruit, Freeze-Dried Vegetable, Freeze-Dried Meat & Seafood, and Others), By Service (Solar Food Dryer, Vacuum Food Dryer, Air Food Dryer, and Others), Forecast (2022-2028)

The US food freeze-drying services market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). The market is expected to be driven by the rising food-processing sector and huge customer demand for ready-to-eat or convenience food products. Additionally, rapid expansion in the food and beverage industry, rising consumer demand for nutritious foods, rising consumer spending, and the presence of significant players are also projected to boost the market growth in this region. For instance, in 2018, Natierra launched a new line of dark chocolate-coated organic freeze-dried fruit slices. The delightful snack is prepared with dark chocolate that is 55% cacao and sourced ethically from Amazon rainforests.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a massive increase in customer demand for non-perishable food supplies. It was mostly fuelled by consumers’ stockpiling behavior as a result of prolonged lockdowns, and in most cases, people avoided going outside in public areas to protect themselves. Foods that have been freeze-dried don’t need to be refrigerated as they are chemically preserved and can be reconstituted quickly and easily by simply adding water. Another significant benefit of freeze-drying foods is the capacity to produce clean, complete, and nutritious food ingredients with a long shelf life which makes food products versatile and accessible.

For astronauts and military people, freeze-dried foods are becoming more popular, as traditional drying processes have some drawbacks. The high temperatures might cause chemical or physical changes in food goods, and the overall quality is inferior as compared to freeze-dried food products. As a result of these benefits, freeze-drying is becoming more popular as a food preservation method around the globe, which in turn propels the growth of the US food freeze-drying services market.

The use of the freeze-drying technique in the production of pet food opens up a slew of new commercial options for both established businesses and newcomers. This is owing to the simplicity with which freeze-dried foods are supplied to pets in the US. Furthermore, the simplicity of purchasing greater quantities of items without worrying about storage capacity is projected to provide key players with an opportunity to strengthen their position in the US market during the forecasted period. According to Euromonitor International, global pet food sales were $93.9 billion in 2019, out of which the US accounted for 36.5% of the total and spent $34.3 billion on pet food.
