The freeze-dried fruit market isn’t a niche side-product anymore — it's rapidly becoming a mainstream ingredient class. According to multiple market studies, the freeze-dried fruits segment accounts for a major portion of the overall freeze-dried foods market, and is growing at a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of between 6.7%–7.5% globally.
This growth is driven by several key trends: increased consumer demand for healthy, shelf-stable ingredients; rising interest in convenient snacking; growth of functional foods and meal-kit mixes; and expanding use of freeze-dried fruit in cereals, bars, bakery, ice cream, and confectionery products.
Because demand is rising worldwide — not just in one region — supply needs to keep up. But supply of fresh berries and fruit is volatile: affected by weather, seasonality, disease, and logistics. Many freeze-dried fruit buyers are discovering that relying solely on fresh/frozen fruit supply isn’t sustainable. That’s where a large-scale, well-equipped player like Richfield becomes invaluable.
Richfield has the infrastructure and sourcing flexibility to meet growing demand:
18 large-scale freeze-drying lines in its factories — enabling high throughput and consistent output;
Dual geographic sourcing and processing bases (China and Vietnam), supporting both temperate berries and tropical fruits;
Experience and certifications (organic, BRC, GMP), giving confidence to global buyers.
By aligning with the macro trend — growing global demand for freeze-dried fruit — Richfield offers buyers not just products, but scalability, consistency and foresight. For manufacturers planning to launch fruit-forward snacks, cereals, healthy bars, or beverages — partnering with Richfield gives them a supply advantage in a growing, competitive market.
