Brazil Dried Fruit Market Overview, 2028

Brazil Dried Fruit Market Overview, 2028

In Brazil, the increasing consumer awareness about the ill effects of artificial food additives used for food preservation is fueling the demand for natural and healthy food products. The high demand for convenience food and other ready-to-eat food and beverage products, owing to busy lifestyles, is further leading to increased consumption of the products in the country. The growth of the dried fruit market is being driven by rising demand for seasonal fruits, which have a longer shelf life. In addition, the easy packaging of these dried fruits aids in their shelf-life stability, which encourages customers to consume dried fruits as a snack rather than unhealthy, sugar-filled food. This is another factor expected to support the market's growth during the forecast period.

According to the research report, “Brazil Dried Food Market Outlook, 2028” published by Bonafide Research, the market is projected to add 0.15 Million from 2022 to 2028. With an increasing number of consumers opting for healthy foods including instant foods that are rich in nutrients, the market is witnessing rapid growth. Also, an increasing number of product introductions by manufacturers with varieties, new flavors, and enhanced taste will add to the dried food product market growth. Dried foods go through a dehydration process aimed at elongating their shelf-life and are extensively used as a prominent substitute for fresh foods. The moisture of food is removed through a machine (dehydrator) or natural process. Berries, raisins, figs, prunes, and apricot are the most common example of food dried across the Country. They are categorized as organic and conventional based on their nature and come in a variety of forms which include powder, slices, granules, and whole dried. Dried food holds numerous applications in the food and beverage industry.

The dried foods market is propelling in Brazil due to the growing number of health-conscious people coupled with their increasing preferences for healthy and nutritious food products. Moreover, the growing middle-class population, increasing disposable incomes, and demand for natural-ingredient snacks also contribute to the market’s expansion. In addition, the increasing popularity of breakfast and snack cereals that contain dried foods to increase nutritional value, such as oatmeal, muesli, cornflakes, and so on, is further stimulating the growth of the industry. Furthermore, the product’s characteristics, such as less perishability and easy transportation, make it a popular choice for healthy snacks. As a result, the emerging trend of on-the-go products supports the industry’s growth.

Consumer awareness about the negative consequences of added colors and flavors has influenced them to choose healthier eating habits. Clean labels or label-friendly cut through the clutter of too much data and represent valuable information, which gives consumers a sense of control over their well-being. Clean-label items are in high demand because consumers want food without artificial additives or preservatives. Dehydrated fruit manufacturers are optimizing ingredients to provide label-friendly products. Customers are looking at the back of packages more than ever before to check for the ingredients, and are drawn to clean-label a product, which was previously uncommon, resulting in an increase in demand for preserved fruits that require less processing.

Supermarkets and hypermarkets held the largest share. Over the past few years, supermarkets and hypermarkets have witnessed significant growth in the nut and dehydrated fruit categories. The retail chains are appealing to health-conscious consumers by expanding their organic and natural product lines. Furthermore, increasing supermarket penetration in developing countries will boost product sales through this distribution channel. Some of the main supermarket chains in Brazil are Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição, Carrefour Comércio e Indústria Ltda., Wal-Mart Brasil Ltda., Cencosud Brasil Comercial Ltda., Companhia Zaffari Comércio e Indústria and many more. Convenience stores hold a notable share of the market, especially in developing countries. Several countries have specialized retail stores for the product, for instance, shops on the street and public markets, and specialty stores. Online distribution is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The outbreak of COVID-19 has increased the demand for dried foods as fresh fruits and vegetables were limited in stock in grocery stores and supermarkets due to obstructions in the supply chain and distribution channels due to lockdowns. However, this pandemic has led to the demand for freeze-dried vegetables and fruits, which are to be utilized in soups, snacks, bakery, dressings, and confectionery food commodities in Brazil. With rising consumer consciousness about health in the COVID-19 situation, consumers were aware of the harmful effects of artificial food additives utilized to preserve food, fueling the demand for healthy and natural food products.
