Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for packaged food products fuels the growth of the dehydrated vegetables market
Packaged food products like jams, pickles, chutney, cooking sauces, ketchup & spreads that use dehydrated vegetables, require minimal time for preparation, and can also have a long shelf life without spoiling, making them very convenient for consumers. Compared to fresh vegetables, dehydrated vegetables have a long shelf life so the manufacturers of packaged food products choose these dehydrated vegetables. Dehydrated vegetables are cheaper than fresh ones which makes them a greater choice for processed food manufacturers.
Hence, when the demand for packaged food products grows, these benefits of dehydrated vegetables make them an important ingredient in the production process. Thus, the increasing demand for packaged food products is a major factor that drives the dehydrated vegetable market growth.
Concerns over the use of additives and preservatives in the manufacturing of dehydrated vegetables may restrain the growth of dehydrated vegetables market
To increase the shelf life of dehydrated vegetables, some additives and preservatives are used by the manufacturers. But these additives and preservatives are very harmful to human health. For instance, some preservatives are associated with an increased risk of cancer and other health problems.
Nowadays, people are becoming health conscious, so they always look for healthier products that are free from artificial ingredients and additives. As dehydrated vegetables contain additives and preservatives, consumers prefer to use fresh green vegetables instead of dehydrated vegetables. So the use of additives and preservatives in the manufacturing of dehydrated vegetables can restrain the market growth.
