Food Dehydrators Global Market Report 2024

Food dehydrators are devices used to dry and preserve foods by removing most of the natural moisture. They reduce potential spoilage problems with fresh foods and use heat and airflow to decrease water content in fruits, vegetables, and meat.

Food dehydrators employ two main technologies such as vertical airflow and horizontal airflow. In vertical airflow dehydrators, the heating source is typically positioned at the bottom of the appliance, making them ideal for drying delicate items such as strawberries, herbs, and peaches. The energy sources for dehydrators vary and include electricity, biofuel, and solar energy, catering to end-users in both residential and commercial settings.

This food dehydration research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The food dehydrators market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.24 billion in 2023 to $2.38 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to the trend of home food preservation, an increase in healthy snacking, the culture of DIY food preparation, the movement towards natural and organic foods, and the popularity of outdoor and adventure activities.

The food dehydrators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.09 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The expected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of smart and connected appliances, the growing popularity of plant-based diets, an increasing demand for exotic dried foods, a focus on sustainability and energy efficiency, and the expansion of product offerings. Major trends anticipated during this period include the continued growth of online retail, heightened awareness of food waste reduction, a shift towards customization and personalization, ongoing technological advancements, and a continued emphasis on home food preservation.

The surge in health consciousness is anticipated to drive the growth of the food dehydrators market in the foreseeable future. Health consciousness refers to the increasing awareness and focus on maintaining and enhancing one's health and overall well-being. Food dehydrators play a role in promoting health consciousness by facilitating the creation of nutrient-rich snacks, aligning with the trend towards whole and minimally processed foods. For example, in May 2022, the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based non-profit organization providing science-based information on food safety, nutrition, and health, released a survey indicating that 52% of Americans followed a diet or eating pattern in 2022-a significant increase from the previous year's 39% in 2021. Furthermore, this rise was particularly notable among those under the age of 50, with popular diets including clean eating (16%), mindful eating (14%), calorie counting (13%), and plant-based (12%). Consequently, the escalating trend of health consciousness is driving the growth of the food dehydrators market.

The surge in outdoor activities is contributing to the expansion of the food dehydrator market. Outdoor activities encompass recreational and leisure pursuits that occur in natural or outdoor settings. The growing engagement in outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, and backpacking is driving the demand for portable food dehydrators, facilitating the preparation of lightweight, dehydrated meals. For example, in February 2023, Forbes, a US-based global media company, reported an 11.7% growth in Snowsports from 2020 to 2021, reaching a total of $683.6 million-a substantial 27.2% increase over the two-year period. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of outdoor activities is propelling the growth of the food dehydrator market.

The emergence of environmentally friendly food dehydrators stands out as a significant trend gaining traction in the market. These eco-friendly dehydrators play a crucial role in lowering energy costs and reducing carbon emissions during the drying process. For example, in October 2022, Maan Global Industries, an India-based company specializing in the design and manufacturing of thermal products, introduced a unique food dehydrator. This innovative dehydrator consumes 75% less electricity compared to conventional models and contributes to enhancing the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, meat, and poultry.

Major players in the food dehydrator market are concentrating on the development of technologically advanced solutions, with a particular focus on multipurpose food dehydrators, to secure a competitive edge. Multipurpose food dehydrators are versatile machines capable of efficiently drying various foods, including fruits, vegetables, meats, and herbs. They offer users the flexibility to create a diverse range of dehydrated products using a single appliance. For example, in August 2022, COSORI, a US-based smart kitchen appliance company, introduced its latest product-the Premium Pro 10-tray Food Dehydrator. This innovative dehydrator aims to simplify the process of crafting healthy snacks, seasonings, and crafts. Featuring durable stainless steel construction and a transparent glass front door, the multifunctional dehydrator ensures longevity and user-friendly operation, making it suitable for various applications, from jerky to potpourri. With advanced features such as timer capabilities, memory function, and overheat protection, COSORI seeks to provide users with a seamless and flavorful dehydration experience. The product also includes a 50-recipe book, catering to both novice and experienced users.

In September 2021, METER Group, Inc., a US-based environmental biophysical and food safety instrumentation company, successfully acquired Drying Technology, Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition enhances METER Group's portfolio by incorporating proven closed-loop moisture control for continuous lines, benefitting METER Food customers. The deal grants METER Group access to Drying Technology's sensor technology and patented algorithm, which effectively reduces moisture content variation in foods. This not only improves production efficiency and quality but also minimizes waste and energy consumption. Drying Technology, Inc., the acquired company, is a US-based industrial automation company.
