Dehydrated Potato Global Market Report 2024

The dehydrated potato market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.82 billion in 2023 to $6.3 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The expansion observed during the historic period can be ascribed to several key factors, including the development of military and emergency rations, advancements in food preservation techniques, progress in industrial food processing methods, innovation within the culinary and food industry, the cost-effectiveness of these products, and their capability for long-term storage.

The dehydrated potato market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.81 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The anticipated expansion in the forecast period can be linked to several factors, notably the increasing preferences of health-conscious consumers, a rising demand for emergency and disaster relief provisions, the incorporation of dehydrated potatoes into convenient snack options, the globalization of food markets, and the broadening spectrum of culinary applications. Key trends expected during this period encompass the emergence of health-oriented potato snacks, the integration of dehydrated potatoes into health-focused food items, heightened attention to texture and overall product quality, initiatives geared towards sustainable packaging solutions, and the proliferation of premium and gourmet varieties in the market.

The dehydrated potato market is anticipated to experience substantial growth, primarily driven by the rising demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) products. RTE items are characterized by being cleaned, cooked, and pre-packaged, eliminating the need for additional preparation or cooking. Dehydrated potatoes, known for their ease of rehydration and preparation, offer consumers a convenient and hassle-free cooking experience. A November 2022 report from BUPA, the UK-based health insurance and healthcare company, revealed that 40% of adults in the UK consume ready-made meals weekly. Additionally, a March 2022 report from Krungsri, a Thailand-based bank, highlighted a 6.4% increase in domestic demand for ready-to-eat meals in 2021, amounting to THB 20 billion ($5.67 billion), further supporting the growth of the dehydrated potato market.

The expansion of the dehydrated potato market is also fueled by the growing number of restaurants. Restaurants, as establishments that prepare and serve food and beverages, find value in using dehydrated potatoes due to their extended shelf life, convenience, reduced preparation time, consistent quality, versatility in menu options, year-round availability, and low moisture content, contributing to compactness. Starbucks, for example, achieved substantial growth in Q4 of fiscal year 2021 by opening 538 new stores, marking a 4% increase compared to the previous year. As of the end of Q4 2021, Starbucks had a global store count of 33,833, with 62% of these stores located in the United States and China. This expansion in the number of restaurants, such as Starbucks, is a key factor propelling the growth of the dehydrated potato market.

The adoption of product innovations stands out as a prominent trend, with major industry players actively introducing novel offerings to secure and enhance their market positions. An illustration of this trend occurred in August 2022 when the Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program, a collaborative initiative sponsored by the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture, unveiled two innovative potato varieties targeted at the French fry market. The COTX08063-2Ru potato clone, identified for its high starch and gravity species, was particularly highlighted due to the escalating demand for French fries in Texas, driving increased cultivation of high-starch potatoes renowned for producing quality French fries.
