Additionally, the market is witnessing innovations in product formats, such as snackable air-dried food items and meal kits, catering to convenience and health-consciousness. As sustainability becomes a central theme, companies are adopting greener practices and promoting transparency to strengthen their market positions and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.

Despite its growth, the air-dried food market faces challenges, including high production costs and energy-intensive drying processes. Maintaining product consistency and nutritional value across large batches also poses difficulties for manufacturers. Furthermore, environmental concerns regarding energy consumption and waste production necessitate the development of more sustainable practices.
