The global dried fruit market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.53% over the forecast period, increasing from US$11.899 billion in 2025 to US$14.853 billion by 2030.
Dried fruits are popular globally due to their numerous health benefits and versatility as food inclusions. The expanding food inclusion market is expected to positively influence the growth of the global dried fruits market in the coming years. Dried fruits, which have a longer shelf life compared to fresh fruits, serve as convenient snacks for travel without requiring refrigeration. This extended shelf life is widely recognized and contributes to increasing market demand.Dried fruits are produced by removing nearly all the water content from fresh fruits, resulting in smaller, denser products. Common varieties include raisins, dates, prunes, figs, and apricots, with other options available in sugar-coated or candied forms, such as dried mangoes and cranberries.
Key Drivers of the Dried Fruit Market
- Rising Consumer Awareness of Health Benefits: There is growing recognition among consumers regarding the nutritional advantages of dried fruits. These products are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. For example, raisins are known to help manage hypertension and blood glucose levels due to their low to medium glycemic index. Studies suggest that raisins can reduce inflammatory markers and lower cholesterol levels, contributing to a feeling of fullness. With expectations of a 12% increase in raisin production in 2023/24 following the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in China, demand for dried fruits is likely to rise.
- Convenience for Busy Lifestyles: Dried fruits are increasingly viewed as a substitute for regular meals, particularly during long journeys or when consuming fast food on the go. As lifestyles become busier, consumers prefer portable food options that do not compromise nutritional value. This trend supports strong growth prospects for the global dried fruit market.
- Prevalence of Chronic Diseases: The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is prompting more consumers to incorporate dried fruits into their diets alongside other fruits and vegetables, further driving market growth.
In summary, the dried fruit market is being propelled by heightened consumer awareness of health benefits, the convenience of portable snacks for busy lifestyles, and rising health concerns related to chronic diseases.
