The dried blueberries market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.

The notable growth in the previous period can be linked to the widening of e-commerce platforms, expansion in the industrial sector, growing preference for veganism, increased personalization in nutrition, a surge in disposable incomes, and the proliferation of retail chains.

• The market size for dried blueberries is anticipated to witness robust expansion in the years to come, escalating to $7.43 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
Factors contributing to this growth throughout the projection period could be the escalating demand for readily available snacks, amplified health awareness, swell in the adoption of e-commerce platforms, growing knowledge about the significance of eye health, and surge in the demand for natural and organic food products. Key trends being forecasted for this period include technological progress, superfoods, plant-based products, clean-label components, and naturally preserved food items.
Future growth in the dried blueberries market is predicted to be fueled by an escalating demand for convenient snacks. These time-saving treats, requiring little preparation and granting swift consumption, are increasingly popular due to a growing consumer preference for food choices that are easy to prepare and portable in a hectic lifestyle. Dried blueberries fit the bill by delivering a nutrient-rich, lasting and transportable alternative to fresh fruit, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. For example, statistics released in May 2023 by Spain's International Nut and Dried Fruit Council Foundation revealed that global production of dried fruit marginally increased from approximately 3.1 million metric tons in 2021/2022 to just over the same figure in 2022/2023. This ascending trend in convenient snack preference is therefore fueling the expansion of the dried blueberries market.
