Driving Factors

Growing consumer needs for natural, clean-label, and antioxidant-rich snack foods are on the rise. Use of dried strawberry is on the rise in baked foods, cereals, dairy foods, and health bars. Freeze-drying technology is superior when it maintains the nutrients and the color and thus the food item becomes more desirable. Higher export value as the dried strawberries are also observed to be sold for use in Germany gift packs and gourmet food combinations, driving domestic and overseas demand.

Restraining Factors

High cost of freeze-drying due to the fact that the freeze-dried strawberries are of premium quality and expensive to manufacture and could be unaffordable for price-sensitive customers. Strawberry cultivation is seasonal in nature and exposed to climate fluctuation and disease, generating raw material volatilities and the majority of dried strawberries are imported particularly during off-season periods due to which exchange rate volatility and supply chain risks are generated.
