In Poland, consumer demand for healthy snacks made from natural ingredients is driving the rising demand for dried fruit. This demand has been fuelled by rising luxury and affluence, the need for rapid food, and increased consumer health concerns. Technology has also played a significant role in the development of the sector. Consumer interest in dried mango in Poland is being driven by increased demand for healthy snacking as well as product innovation. 'Healthy snacks' are a trendy trend that corresponds to the increased use of dried mango. Consumers are looking for healthier snacks to eat between meals or snacks that can be utilized to replace meals.

The dried fruit ingredients market is further classified as organic and conventional. In 2021, the conventional segment had the highest proportion. The expansion is being driven by the growing availability of conventionally farmed dried fruits, as well as their reduced pricing when compared to organic options. Furthermore, because synthetic fertilizers are less expensive, farmers always prefer them over more natural cures. Similarly, the dos and don'ts of conventional farming are not as stringent as those of organic farming; also, conventional farming allows you to grow more in less area. Organic, on the other hand, is expected to be the fastest-growing industry. Customers all over the world are increasingly more interested in organic dried fruit components as their health concerns grow.

As per World Bank, the population of Poland was 37.7 million people in 2021, with 18.3 million men and 19.4 million women. The majority of the population, 24.8 million people, is aged 15 to 65. There are 22.62 million city dwellers and 15.08 million rural dwellers. The World Bank estimated that Poland's GDP in 2021 was USD 679.44 Billion, with an inflation rate of 5.1% and a per capita income of $ 18,000 (2021). The growing population, which leads to increased consumption, is the primary driver of the dried fruit market in Poland.

Understanding the dangers of artificial colors and flavors has prompted consumers to embrace healthier eating habits. Clean or label-friendly labels cut through the clutter of too much data to express important facts, giving consumers a sense of control over their health. People want food without artificial additives and preservatives, therefore clean labeled foods are in high demand. Ingredients are being optimized by dehydrated fruit makers in order to create label-friendly products. Customers are looking for ingredients on the back of packages more than ever before, and they are drawn to previously unheard-of clean-label products, leading to a rise in demand for preserved fruits that require less processing.

Supermarkets and hypermarkets dominate the Poland Dried Fruit Market due to the convenience of having all products in one location and a large selection all at once. Biedronka, Topaz, Lidl, Stokrotka, Polomarket, Dino, and Arhelan are some of the largest supermarkets and hypermarkets in Poland. There has been a substantial increase in internet usage and the use of e-commerce websites to obtain goods such as dried fruits in recent years. Carrefour, Walmart, Amazon, and other well-known vertical gurus are all vying for a piece of the action.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The COVID-19 epidemic increased demand for dried goods since fresh fruits and vegetables were limited in stock in grocery stores and supermarkets due to supply chain and distribution channel disruptions caused by lockdowns. However, the epidemic has increased the demand for freeze-dried vegetables and fruits in the country, which will be used in soups, snacks, bread, dressings, and confectionary food commodities. With increased consumer health consciousness in the COVID-19 scenario, customers were aware of the detrimental consequences of artificial food additives used to preserve food, fuelling demand for healthy and natural food products.
