The global pureed food market has been witnessing significant growth in the recent years. Pureed food products are gaining popularity among consumers including infants, elderly, and individuals suffering from chewing or swallowing difficulties. Various pureed food options such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and baby food are available in the market. Growing health consciousness and focus on soft, easy-to-digest foods is boosting the demand for pureed foods. Factors such as increasing middle class population, rising awareness about nutrition, and health benefits associated with pureed foods are expected to drive the growth of this market. However, the preference for fresh and homemade food may hamper the sales of processed pureed food products to some extent during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics:
The key drivers influencing the global pureed food market include growing aging population, rising prevalence of dysphagia, and other health issues requiring soft diets. According to the United Nations estimates, the population aged 60 years and above is projected to reach nearly 2.1 billion by 2050 from 962 million in 2017. Moreover, advancing technologies for developing nutrient-rich pureed foods with improved taste and texture are encouraging greater adoption. However, high costs associated with equipment and products for pureeing food items pose a major challenge. Additionally, stringent regulations pertaining to food safety and quality standards add to the production expenses. Nevertheless, growing health consciousness and shifting consumer preference towards convenient packaged foods open up new opportunities for market players.
