Market Overview:

A food dehydrator is equipment that helps maintain the value and flavor of a product by removing most of the moisture or moisture content from the product for better preservation. Food drying is a technique that involves the preservation of vegetables, fruits and animal proteins. This preservation technique has been practiced for centuries. Food drying is a technique for preserving fruits, vegetables and meats that has been practiced since ancient times. There are a variety of food dehydrators that can run on a variety of energy sources, such as solar, biodiesel, electricity, and other energy sources. The food dehydrator is a device that improves usage time by removing moisture from food. It works using thermal fans, fans, components, and food dishes within the device. Food dehydrators increase the practical use of food by preventing the growth of microorganisms. Food dehydrators use a heat source and air flow to reduce moisture in food. Save on regular supplements because it retains nutrients and chemicals by removing moisture from food.

Food Dehydrators Market Growth:

The growing consumer trend towards meat and other storable foods has been one of the main reasons that contributed to the expansion and development of the global market for food dehydrators.

Drivers:

The increasing demand for longer food shelf life and higher disposable income are the main factors driving the growth of the global food dehydrator market. The growing concern about food waste and the development of the food processing industry are other factors accelerating the growth of the global market for food dehydrators. More than half of the food produced worldwide is discarded and wasted. Due to these problems, governments and other organizations have initiated numerous plans and methods to preserve and prevent food waste. Therefore, it was recommended to use a food dehydrator to preserve uneaten food. The food dehydrator market is expected to show strong growth due to the increased demand for products with a longer shelf life. In addition, the expansion of the food processing industry due to changes in consumer preferences will have a positive impact on the overall market. Therefore, the residential sector will emerge as a major end user of food dehydrators. In addition to this, the market will continue to witness high demand in the commercial and industrial sectors. Food service facilities can avoid the use of food additives such as sodium nitrate by adopting a meat dehydrator to make meat products. The growing demand for dry food around the world is a key driving force in the global food dehydrator market. Additionally, the minimal weight of dry products, ease of packaging, increased shelf life of foods, and ease of use are some of the benefits of food dehydrators that affect product adoption. Furthermore, food dryers are widely applied in the food processing field to dry food such as dried spices and seasonings, potato chips, meat products, dried fruit and dried seafood.

The growing demand for advanced technology that preserves food for long periods has become a major driver of the global food dehydrator market. Factors such as an increase in disposable income and a higher demand for a long shelf life of food products are supposed to drive the market. In addition, the growth of the food processing industry and awareness of food waste are likely to drive demand, and the market is receiving support from the government that will drive future growth. Growing consumer awareness of the importance of reducing food waste will lead the market for food dehydrators. In addition to this, the market is willing to spend on food with higher disposable income and consequently a longer shelf life. The demand for food dehydrators is likely to increase as governments and international organizations take the lead in reducing food waste. These tissues often use dehydrators to preserve uneaten food. They are then sent to areas suffering from natural disasters or food shortages. The market for food dehydrators has seen significant growth due to the potential to extend the shelf life of products. Additionally, increased awareness of the importance of reducing food waste is likely to stimulate the food dehydrator market in the coming years. The growing call for food dehydrators in Europe presents huge market opportunities for the major players operating in the worldwide food dehydrator market.

Restraints:

Lack of awareness and resources in an underdeveloped economy often limits the application of food dehydrators.

Food Dehydrators Market Segmentation Analysis:

Based on technology, the global food dehydrator is divided into horizontal airflow and vertical airflow. The vertical air flow food dehydrator usually has a fan on the bottom of the equipment. Therefore, food becomes dehydrated as the air moves from the bottom to the top and vice versa. In 2020, the horizontal airflow technology segment accounted for 67.7% of the sales in the global food dehydrator market. Even heat distribution and suitability for a wide variety of foods are some of the factors that contribute to widespread use.

On the basis of end-use industry, the global market for food dehydrators is segregated into industrial, residential, commercial, and others. The residential sector is expected to show significant growth over the forecast period as awareness of high disposable income and food waste increases. The industrial sector is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2022 - 2027. Dehydrated foods are widely used by fruit and vegetable exporters because they are light and small in size, which makes them easy to export. The commercial end-use segment accounted for 28.4% of the market share in 2020.

On the basis of energy source, the global food dehydrators market is segmented into biofuels, solar energy, electricity, etc. The biofuel energy source sector is expected to grow due to its low-cost and environmentally friendly properties. The solar energy sources segment is supposed to be the fastest growing energy source segment. The energy sector accounted for the largest market share at 33.5% in 2021 and is determined to dominate in 2026 due to its lower installation cost compared to solar power generation. Solar energy was the second largest sector in 2020 and is foreseen to experience the highest growth rates during the conjecture period due to increased investments to use renewable energy sources.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Food Dehydrators Market:

The Coronavirus pandemic has halted the production of various products in the food dehydrator market due to long-term closures in major countries. This has greatly hampered the growth of the Food Dehydrating Machines market in recent months and will continue until 2020. COVID-19 has already affected sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and has a negative impact on growth of the market throughout the year.

Geographical Segmentation Analysis:

• North America - the United States and Canada
• Europe - United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France
• The Asia Pacific - India, Japan, China, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia
• Latin America  - Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Rest of LATAM
• The Middle East and Africa - Africa and Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Lebanon, Jordan, Cyprus)

Regional Analysis:

The European market is foreseen to account for the majority of revenue during the forecast period. This can be attributed to several factors, such as the rapid expansion of the agricultural and food processing industries. Markets in the Asia Pacific region are estimated to have the second largest market during the outlook period due to increasing concerns about food waste, increasing agricultural production and increasing need for vegetables and fruits. The Latin American market is likely to register a high average annual growth rate (CAGR) due to population growth, which will increase the region's consumer base and large-scale agricultural production. Markets in the Middle East and Africa are expected to grow at a slower pace, mainly due to increasing imports of vegetables and fruits. Exporters dehydrate food before shipping it to the region, so these factors can hamper local markets.
