The food dehydrators market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for food dehydrators has seen robust growth in the past few years. The market is forecasted to escalate from $2.34 billion in 2024 to $2.47 billion in 2025, displaying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.
The expansion during the historic period can be ascribed to the rising trend of preserving food at home, an increase in healthy snacking habits, the culture of preparing day food, a surge in the popularity of natural and organic foods, and engaging in outdoor and wilderness exploits.
The food dehydrators market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for food dehydrators is predicted to experience significant expansion in the upcoming years, reaching $3.23 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.0%.
This projected growth in the coming period is due to several factors including the appeal of intelligent, interconnected appliances, the rise in plant-based dietary choices, increased demand for unique dried food items, sustainability efforts and energy efficiency, as well as wider product options. Key emerging trends in the forecasted period encompass the growth of online retail, heightened consciousness around minimizing food wastage, customer-centric customizations, technological innovations, and an emphasis on preserving food at home.
The escalating trend of health consciousness is projected to drive the expansion of the food dehydrators market in the future. Health consciousness relates to the burgeoning understanding and focus on maintaining and enhancing one's personal health and wellness. By enabling the production of nutritious snacks, food dehydrators effectively support this health consciousness and align with the movement towards comprehensive and minimally processed foods. For example, a study carried out by the International Food Information Council, a non-profit organization from the United States that disseminates scientifically grounded information concerning food safety, nutrition, and health, revealed in May 2023 that 43% of the participants were aiming to lose weight, a growth from 34% in 2022. Thus, the rising wave of health consciousness is fuelling the advancement of the food dehydrators market.
