Dried Fruit Market Highlights

• It is presumed that the raisins category of fruits will have the largest market share in the classification based on fruit types by 2030, as sweeteners of nature and snacks are widely used in both developing and developed areas. Along with their cheapness, the antioxidant and fiber-rich nutritional value and application in baking and trail mixes, among others, have attracted great demand, whereas the fruitful regions like India and Turkey are assisting in making available raisins through both retail and food processing channels.
• The dried fruits application in bakery products is expected to gain the maximum market share in the global dried fruit market during the forecast period. Inclusion of dried fruits in bread, pastries, and cereals not only preserves the naturalness of the product, as it contains no preservatives, but also enables the manufacturer to market their product as a clean-label offering. Consumer preference for artisanal and fortified baked goods is on the rise, and this, along with the growth of the global bakery industry, is making the adoption quicker.
• The online distribution channel is the fastest-growing segment in the global dried fruit market. The development of e-commerce, more and more people owning and using smartphones, and highly developed expectations from consumers regarding home delivery of premium, organic variants are the main factors leading to this channel being favored. The increase in direct-to-consumer sales, subscription boxes, and digital marketing has made it ideal for niche products like exotic dried nuts and berries.
• The dried fruits market is witnessing a dynamic growth in the Asia Pacific region, one of the key factors being the rapid urbanization, increasing disposable incomes, and healthier snacking options being preferred in densely populated countries like China and India. Dried fruits are collecting the main fruits, with local production and adaptations of flavor variants maintaining their popularity, and the introduction of new ones made through the exports and imports of the participating countries.

Dried Fruit Market Growth Drivers and Restraints

Growth Drivers:

• Rise in Healthy and Convent Snacks: The main factor driving the demand for dried fruits is their being considered as a healthy and convenient snack. A lot of the health awareness comes from consumers who are changing their diets by going for the fiber-rich, vitamin-packed foods and avoiding the fads of processed ones. Their portability and long shelf life, especially in urban areas, cater to the on-the-go lifestyles as well as their applications in energy bars and trail mixes, which increase their market penetration.
• Growing in Plant-based Diets: The change witnessed in the world in terms of veganism and the clean-label products, together with functional foods, is a major opportunity for the supply of organic dried fruits that are being used as natural sweeteners and nutrient boosters. The governments are helping sustain this development by setting up farming for organic produce and providing certifications.

Restraints:

• Price Volatility and Supply Chain Disruptions: A major restraint in the dried fruits industry is the price volatility and disruptions in the supply chain, coupled with the demand for processing and regulatory hurdles. Fluctuation of agricultural yields caused by weather, climate change, and geopolitical issues has been the main reason for inconsistency in pricing and availability, which, in turn, has been a drawback for processors and consumers when it comes to affordability.
• High Processing Costs and Regulatory Hurdles: The main processing costs that the industry faces are those due to the drying technologies and compliance with stringent safety standards, such as the organic certifications, which, in total, lead to the inflation of the operational costs. Inability to provide a limited, efficient infrastructure in developing regions for cold storage and quality control can severely compromise the quality of the product.
