Vacuum drying and microwave drying are known for their gentle and rapid drying processes. This helps in preserving the nutritional value of food products better than some other drying methods, such as sun drying or conventional oven drying. The lower heat exposure in vacuum and microwave drying helps retain essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in dehydrated foods, which is attractive to health-conscious consumers in the Asia Pacific region. Many consumers in the Asia Pacific region seek products with clean labels, meaning minimal additives and preservatives. Vacuum and microwave drying can align with this preference, as they often require fewer additives compared to some other drying techniques. Rapid urbanization in many Asian countries has led to busier lifestyles, driving the demand for convenient and ready-to-eat foods, which vacuum-dried and microwave-dried products can provide. Vacuum-dried and microwave-dried products are often used as ingredients in the production of quick-service restaurant (QSR) and fast-food chain items, contributing to their growth.

Based on the product types, the market is divided into milk powder, other dairy products, fruits, vegetables, herbs, fish and seafood, meat, and others (pet foods).

Dehydrated dairy products have a longer shelf life compared to their fresh counterparts. This is particularly appealing to consumers in the Asia Pacific region, where some areas may have limited access to fresh dairy products.

Some dehydrated dairy products are derived from non-dairy sources, catering to consumers who follow plant-based diets or have lactose intolerance. The food processing industry relies on dehydrated dairy products as ingredients in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, including baked goods, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. Increased access to nutrition information has led to a greater awareness of the health benefits of dairy products. Dehydrated dairy products offer a convenient way for consumers to incorporate these benefits into their diets. Dehydrated dairy products are often used in traditional and festive dishes prepared during cultural celebrations and holidays. Their role in these special occasions drives seasonal demand.
