The Brazil market dominated the LAMEA Air-Dried Food Market by country in 2024, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $4.07 billion by 2032. The Argentina market is showcasing a CAGR of 10.8% during 2025-2032. Additionally, the UAE market would register a CAGR of 9.1% during 2025-2032.
The environmental sustainability of plant-based diets has been well-documented. Making the switch to plant-based diets might significantly cut down on water use, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions linked to animal agriculture. By their extended shelf life and reduced transportation weight, air-dried plant products contribute to environmental benefits by minimizing food waste and lowering the carbon footprint associated with food distribution.
Urbanization and modernization are significantly influencing the expansion of the market. In 2018, urban areas were home to 55% of the global population, a figure that is expected to increase to 68% by 2050, as per the United Nations. This substantial migration to cities has transformed dietary habits, with urban dwellers increasingly favoring ready-to-eat and on-the-go food products to accommodate their fast-paced lifestyles.
The LAMEA region is driven by the rising demand for shelf-stable, convenient food products, particularly in regions with limited access to fresh produce. Brazil's increasing demand is closely linked to the nation's robust coffee culture. As one of the world's leading coffee producers, Brazil has a substantial market for air-dried coffee beans, catering to both domestic consumption and export markets. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed a surge in demand for air-dried foods, driven by a predominantly expatriate population seeking convenient and diverse food options. In South Africa, the rising demand can be attributed to the increasing health consciousness among consumers and the popularity of traditional dried meat products like biltong. The government has implemented the Agricultural Product Standards Act regulations to ensure the quality, packing, and marking of dried fruit intended for sale. These regulations aim to standardize product quality and enhance consumer confidence in these products. Hence, the LAMEA region is experiencing a notable increase in the demand for air-dried foods.
