Freeze-dried foods are both lightweight because most of the moisture has been removed. Freeze-dried formulas use low temperatures and pressure to remove moisture. The freeze-drying process prevents the moisture in the food from becoming a liquid before it is removed. Freeze-dried foods are the closest alternative to a raw diet. These foods can be found in a formed shape like nuggets or patties, and well as flaked or granular mixes. Freeze-dried foods can be rehydrated with water before feeding, or fed directly from the package. Freeze-dried food is first flash frozen, or exposed to cryogenic temperatures, then placed in a vacuum drying chamber. Freeze-dried foods are both lightweight because most of the moisture has been removed.In 2024, global Pet Freeze-Dried Food production reached approximately 7400 mt , with an average global market price of around US$ 68.5 per Kg.
Driven by the growing trend of "pet humanization," the global pet food sector is evolving toward premiumization, functionality, and personalization. Freeze-dried food, with its nutrient integrity, traceable ingredients, and convenient storage, is gaining traction as both a staple diet and a functional treat. High-spending households increasingly favor these products. Companies are responding through mergers and acquisitions, production capacity expansion, and digital channel integration. Meanwhile, technological advances and declining equipment costs are lowering barriers and accelerating market penetration.
Despite strong momentum, the industry faces several challenges. Raw materials, especially fresh meat, are subject to price volatility due to supply, seasonality, and climate change, impacting cost control. Freeze-drying also demands high capital investment in equipment and quality assurance systems, posing a hurdle for smaller players. In addition, tightening regulations on pet food safety and labeling standards may push out low-quality, OEM-dependent brands lacking in-house R&D capabilities.
Modern pet owners are shifting from feeding pets "enough" to feeding them "well." Influenced by e-commerce and social platforms, they prioritize ingredient transparency and seek products aligned with raw or functional nutrition philosophies. Freeze-dried food fits this demand, showing rising penetration in staple diets, training snacks, and sensitivity solutions. The growing population of younger pet owners also demands personalized, emotionally resonant brand experiences, encouraging innovation in content marketing, loyalty programs, and tailored product lines.
