Food Lyophilization Equipment Market Set to Hit USD 1.60 Billion by 2030 | Asia Pacific Emerges as the Future Hub for Freeze-Dried Foods

Delray Beach, FL, June 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global appetite for clean, convenient, and nutrient-rich food is reshaping the way food is preserved—and freeze-drying is stepping up. The global food lyophilization equipment market, valued at USD 1.19 billion in 2025, is projected to reach USD 1.60 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.0%.

What’s Driving the Surge?

Modern consumers want it all—taste, nutrition, convenience, and shelf life. Freeze-drying delivers just that, removing moisture from food without compromising its integrity. As a result, food brands are investing in lyophilization equipment to offer products that are:

• Preservative-free
• Shelf-stable
• Nutrient-dense
• Clean-label compliant

This trend is particularly strong in urban centers and export markets where longer shelf life and natural ingredient integrity matter.

E-commerce and DTC Fueling Growth

The rise of online grocery shopping, meal kits, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) food brands is opening massive opportunities for freeze-dried foods. These channels demand:

• Lightweight, compact packaging
• Long shelf life
• Reliable quality through long-distance shipping

Freeze-dried foods check all the boxes, making lyophilization equipment essential for food brands going digital. As startups and mid-sized players scale, they increasingly turn to:

• Modular systems for flexibility
• Automated freeze-dryers for efficiency
• Small-batch setups for pilot production

This is creating new demand for scalable, compact systems tailored for DTC growth.
