The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for ready-to-cook food products, rising preference for versatile food ingredients, growing adoption of premium potato flake varieties, increasing demand from foodservice and retail sectors, and rising focus on efficient food preservation solutions.

The growth of ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods is expected to drive the growth of the dried potato flakes market going forward. Ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods are pre-prepared or easy-to-prepare food products designed to save consumers time and effort during meal preparation. The growth of ready-to-eat and convenience foods is driven by increasingly busy lifestyles, as consumers seek quick meal solutions that reduce cooking time and simplify daily routines. The growth of ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods is driving demand for dried potato flakes, as they provide a quick, versatile, and shelf-stable ingredient that enables manufacturers to produce instant mashed potatoes, snacks, and processed foods with minimal preparation time. For instance, in October 2024, according to the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Economic Research Service, a US-based government agency, spending on food away from home increased by 12.0% to $4,485 per capita in 2023 from $4,004 in 2022. Additionally, the share of disposable personal income spent on food away from home increased to 5.9% in 2023 from 5.6% in 2022. Therefore, the growth of ready-to-eat (RTE) and convenience foods is driving the growth of the dried potato flakes market.
