Lack of awareness regarding the benefits of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables will impact the market development. In comparison to fresh items, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables have a number of advantages, including the same nutritional value and a similar flavor along with appearance to that of fresh fruit. However, fresh fruit and vegetable consumption is still higher in many emerging economies like India, Thailand, Indonesia, and others.
