The global food dehydrators market size is estimated to reach USD 2,838.4 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.4% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing emphasis on the reduction of food waste generation and the rising popularity of dehydrated food products is anticipated to drive the growth of the food dehydrator market.
Food dehydrator removes moisture from food products by about 98%. This leads to shriveled & brittle products, which have a longer shelf life, and is not easily spoiled. Growing food scarcity across the world is increasing the importance of longer shelf-life products, which is anticipated to boost the demand for food dehydrators.
Moreover, the market is characterized by growing technological developments such as dual-drying technology, and solar drying. Numerous key players are investing in energy-efficient product innovation and solar-powered food dehydrators are one such product. For instance, the Food Science for Relief and Development (FSRD) division of the Institute of Food Technologies introduced Dehytray, an innovative portable solar food dehydrator.
Additionally, the growing adoption of food dehydrators is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. A food dehydrator is used for dehydrating fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood products. The growing food processing industry due to the rising demand for food products from the increasing population is expected to boost the market growth.
The COVID-19 outbreak led to a decline in the market growth of the food dehydrator. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, demand for industrial and commercial food dehydrators decreased significantly due to government restrictions and lockdowns. Moreover, supply chain disruption also led to decreased sales of food dehydrators. Over the forecast period, the market is anticipated to witness a promising growth rate.
Key players in the industry are extensively focusing on the growth of the business through strategic mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, product innovations, and geographic expansions. For instance, in October 2022, Maan Global Industries launched a new innovative food dehydrator, which consumes 75% less energy compared to conventional products.
