Expanding Dehydrated Vegetable Market to Achieve a Value of 151.9 Billion dollars by 2034
In the bustling world of food production, dehydrated vegetables have become a significant player, particularly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
According to market statistics from 2024, the APAC region dominated the Dehydrated Vegetable Market, holding a 42.9% share valued at USD 33.1 billion. Hypermarkets and supermarkets accounted for a 39.3% share of this market, while food manufacturers held a 59.7% share.
Dehydrated onions, garlic, and leafy vegetables are highly favoured in the APAC region, finding their way into instant noodles, sauces, snacks, and traditional dishes. Onions, in fact, commanded a 21.2% share of the Dehydrated Vegetable Market in 2024.
The use of dehydrated vegetables extends beyond the kitchen. They are also essential for outdoor and travel needs, such as adding flakes to rice or oatmeal for backpacking meals.
One intriguing development in the dehydrated vegetable industry is the modernization and expansion of a vegetable dehydration plant in India, aiming to increase production capacity and efficiency. However, the name of the Indian company remains undisclosed.
India's vegetable production currently only has 2.2% processed, in contrast to 30% in Brazil and 70% in the USA. This presents a significant opportunity for growth in India's dehydrated vegetable industry, which has become a vital component of the food processing sector.
Dehydrated vegetables are not just for outdoor adventures or industrial use. They are also a convenient option for busy households, where dehydrated onions and carrots are used for easy meal preparation.
Looking to the future, by 2025, powders and granules are expected to maintain a 32.6% share of the Dehydrated Vegetable Market. This trend is being met by companies like Olam Food Ingredients (OFI), which is expanding its sustainable and traceable agricultural products, including their AtSource platform for detailed environmental and social impact data.
Similarly, Symrise AG is investing in natural, sustainable flavor solutions, including dehydrated vegetables, to meet clean-label demands in the EMEA and North American markets.
Moreover, adding dehydrated greens like spinach to breads, dips, or baby foods helps tackle vitamin gaps in diets. Dehydrated vegetables are also used in processed foods for consistent flavor year-round, lowering costs by shrinking the weight for shipping and storage.
Food manufacturers are also using dehydrated veggie powders in chips, bars, and trail mixes to create tasty, low-calorie snacks.
The Global Dehydrated Vegetable Market is projected to reach USD 151.9 billion by 2034, a testament to the growing importance of dehydrated vegetables in our modern food industry.
Air drying held a 38.4% share of the Dehydrated Vegetable Market in 2024, indicating the continued popularity of traditional methods in the production of dehydrated vegetables.
The Indian government's Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana, which allocates ₹24,000 crore annually for crop improvements, storage, irrigation, and diversification, is expected to play a crucial role in the growth of India's dehydrated vegetable industry.
As we move forward, it is clear that dehydrated vegetables are here to stay, offering a convenient, sustainable, and versatile solution for food producers and consumers alike.
