Why are freeze-dried foods becoming the new favorite in global markets?
From Europe to the Middle East and Asia, importers and distributors are actively sourcing high-quality freeze dried fruits, vegetables, and snacks to meet the rising consumer demand for natural, healthy, and long-shelf-life foods.
According to recent industry data, the global freeze-dried food market is expected to exceed USD 100 billion by 2030, driven by the growing popularity of convenient nutrition and the expansion of e-commerce retail.
From freeze dried strawberries used in breakfast cereals, to freeze dried mushrooms for instant soups, and even freeze dried candy for creative snacking — the diversity of applications continues to grow. This evolution reflects a deeper trend: consumers want “real food, fewer additives, and longer freshness.”
What sets Merry Time apart is its integrated production system, combining:
· Self-owned raw material bases ensuring freshness and quality from the source.
· Advanced freeze-drying equipment delivering superior texture and nutrient retention.
· Full international certifications (BRC, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, FDA, USDA).
· OEM & bulk customization to meet the needs of B2B distributors, retailers, and brand owners.
Every batch undergoes strict quality control, ensuring consistency across bulk and retail packaging — from 5 kg export cartons to ready-to-sell pouches.
