　　Dried fruits and candied fruits constitute a major category of snack foods. Both are made primarily from fruits, though they differ in their production processes and textures. Dried fruits are dehydrated and dried fruit products, such as raisins and dried apples. During their production, no sugar or other additives are typically added, giving them a relatively mild flavor. In contrast, candied fruits are made from fruits and vegetables—sometimes with the addition (or sometimes without) of food additives and other ingredients—and are processed through methods such as marinating in sugar, honey, or salt (or sometimes without marinating).

　　With the improvement of living standards and a shift in consumption attitudes, consumers are increasingly demanding more diverse and nutritionally balanced food flavors. As a delicious, nutritious, and enjoyable snack, dried fruits and candied fruits have been gaining popularity among an ever-growing number of consumers. In 2023, the per capita disposable income and per capita consumption expenditure of residents nationwide were RMB 39,218 and RMB 26,796, respectively, both showing steady growth.

　　In terms of the industrial chain, the upstream segment involves the supply of raw materials such as fruits, sugar, food additives, and packaging materials. The midstream production and processing stage is the core of the dried fruit and candied fruit industry, primarily encompassing processes like fruit washing, slicing, drying, and pickling. The downstream sales channels include, but are not limited to, department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, and e-commerce platforms.

　　Fresh fruits are the foundation of dried fruit and candied fruit production. The quality of the fruits directly affects the quality and taste of the dried and candied fruit products. Different types of fruits are suited to producing different kinds of dried and candied fruits—for example, grapes can be used to make raisins, while oranges can be used to make candied orange peel. In 2022, China’s fruit production reached 312.9624 million tons, showing a sustained growth trend.
