1. Overview of the freeze-dried food industry
The freeze-dried food industry, as an emerging field of the food industry, has shown strong growth momentum in recent years. Through rapid freezing and vacuum ice dehydration technology, the industry maximizes the preservation of the nutrients, color, aroma and taste of food, while giving the product good rehydration and long shelf life. With the increase in consumer demand for healthy and convenient food, as well as the continuous progress of freeze-drying technology and the advancement of product innovation, the market scale of freeze-dried food continues to expand. It is expected that the industry will maintain steady growth in the next few years, and the market size will be further expanded. Well-known domestic and foreign brands, local brands and small enterprises compete together, driving the product range from traditional meat and seafood to freeze-dried fruits, vegetables, herbal teas and other high value-added products. Driven by policy support, technological progress and market demand, the freeze-dried food industry will usher in broader development prospects and become a new outlet for the food industry.
2. Analysis of the development status of the freeze-dried food industry
1. The global market continues to expand
There are many types of freeze-dried foods, including fruits, vegetables, convenience foods, meat and aquatic products, etc. Among them, freeze-dried fruits accounted for the highest proportion, about 40%; convenience foods and vegetables accounted for 22% and 20% respectively; Meat, aquatic products and other products accounted for 18%. New freeze-dried products, such as freeze-dried yogurt cubes, freeze-dried coffee, etc., have emerged one after another to meet the diverse needs of consumers.
2. Growing consumer demand
With the acceleration of the pace of life and the enhancement of health awareness, consumers’ demand for healthy and convenient foods is increasing. Freeze-dried foods meet the needs of modern consumers due to their convenience, nutrition, deliciousness and long shelf life, so the market demand continues to grow.
