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.
