The air dried food market's prospects will grow as a result of increased health consciousness, evolving lifestyles, and rising consumer willingness to pay more for convenience goods.

Additionally, simple availability to a wide range of packaging materials and advanced technology have increased the air-dried food industry's potential for expansion on a global scale. Positive air dried food market growth has been influenced by the development of improved packaging materials, such as paper packets, stand-up pouches, and wooden packaging.
