According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Dried Soup Market Report by Product Type (Dehydrated Dried Soup, Instant Dried Soup), Type (Vegetarian Soup, Non-Vegetarian Soup), Preparation (Regular, Organic), Packaging Type (Cups, Pouches, and Others), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Grocery Stores, Direct Sales, Online Stores, and Others), and Region 2024-2032,” the global dried soup market size reached US$ 12.5 Billion in 2023. Dried soup is prepared by drying or dehydrating the ingredients, along with adding pre-gelatinized starch, sugar, guar and xantham gum, preservatives and flavoring agents. The most common method used in the manufacturing of dried soup is freeze-drying. This process minimizes the weight of the food product by removing the water content without affecting the nutritional value, thereby making its transportation and storage more efficient. In recent years, the demand for dried soup has increased as it is shelf-stable and can be stored without the need for refrigeration.
Global Dried Soup Market Trends:
The dried soup consists of grains, eggs, meat and vegetables and offers several health benefits, such as reducing the chances of infections and boosting energy levels. This, along with the evolving dietary preferences and hectic lifestyles of consumers, is encouraging them to adopt food products that are convenient to prepare. As a result, many food and beverage companies are offering ready-to-eat or instant soups as a quick meal or snack option. Also, as people are becoming more health-conscious, they are becoming more inclined toward organic dry soups that are prepared with fewer or no preservatives. Moreover, the leading manufacturers are launching international varieties, such as Thai curry and Korean spicy vegetable soups in Western countries, to attract and expand their consumer base. Some of the other factors propelling the growth of the market are innovative product packaging and expansion of organized distribution channels. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$ 16.6 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% during 2024-2032.
