Freeze-drying is a drying technique that removes moisture from a substance through freezing and sublimation. Specifically, it first cools the material below the freezing point, and then under high vacuum conditions, the water directly sublimates from the ice state to the gas state, thereby removing the water and achieving the purpose of drying.

Segmented Market Analysis

According to the state of the dried substance, freeze-drying can be divided into powder freeze-drying and block freeze-drying; According to the state of the freeze-dried material, freeze-drying can be divided into liquid freeze-drying and solid freeze-drying; Based on whether the freeze-dried material has been frozen or not, freeze-drying can be divided into quick freezing freeze-drying and slow freezing freeze-drying.

From the perspective of downstream applications, the application of freeze-drying technology involves many fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and surgical procedures. At present, the pharmaceutical industry is the largest downstream application market for freeze-drying. However, in the future, with the continuous progress of technology and the increasing demand for high-quality and nutritious food from consumers, freeze-drying technology will gradually become an important development direction in the food processing field, and the food processing field is expected to become its largest downstream application market.
