Freeze-Drying Equipment Market Growth and Trends

• Freeze-dried food can last for up to 15-25 years compared to dehydrated food typical shelf life of one year. Dehydration removes 95% of moisture but freeze-drying removes 98-99% of humidity.

• Freeze-dried food loses only 3% of its nutritional value; On the other hand, dehydrated food loses 40% of its nutritional value. Freeze-dried food weighs less than dehydrated food. Freeze-drying doesn’t change the look or taste of the food. Thus the above-mentioned essential attributes are the primary drivers that are driving the Freeze-drying equipment market.

• Freeze-dried food is almost as good as fresh food regarding aroma, taste, and nutritional value. This is the primary driver for the Freeze-Drying Equipment industry globally.

• As Freeze-dried food is a convenient option for Hikers, campers, soldiers, and astronauts, is also driving the growth for freeze-dried equipment adoption in the food industry.

• The biggest obstacle facing the widespread use of Freeze Drying Equipment is a high investment and energy consumption cost. Although Home freeze-Drying Equipment is often advertised as money-savers, the claim does not withstand scrutiny.

Freeze-Drying Equipment Market Segmentation Analysis

• Freeze-drying equipment can be classified based on size, the location of the condenser, and the end-user.

• Based on the size of the product chamber, Freeze- Drying Equipment is classified as small, standard, or large. Home freeze-Drying Equipment is small in size. Standard size freeze-Drying Equipment is generally used in R&D.

• Sizeable freeze-Drying Equipment is used in the food processing and dairy industry.

• By end-user, Freeze-drying equipment can be classified into two categories. Industry use and home use, of which industry is the primary segment. Home freeze Drying Equipment is a hot topic in the emergency prepared Industry.

• In developed countries home freeze Drying Equipment is gaining popularity as people value the availability of stored food in situations like natural disasters or political turmoil or hyperinflation.

Global Freeze-Drying Equipment Market Geographical Share

• North America has the most significant share of the market. Home-freeze Drying Equipment is not popular in developing countries because they are too expensive.

• Dehydrated food is still preferred in Developing countries, as it is cheaper than freeze-dried equipment. Freeze-dried Food has gained some popularity in the western Food processing Industry, especially in Pet Foods Industry.
