Potato flakes are widely used in the preparation of soups, snacks, and processed food products, making them a versatile ingredient in the food industry.

Additionally, rising exports of dehydrated potato products contribute to industry growth.
Challenges in the potato flakes market stem from dependency on consistent potato supply, which is affected by seasonal variations and farming conditions. Processing costs, including energy-intensive drying methods, contribute to price volatility. Import competition from larger markets such as the US and Europe pressures local manufacturers. Additionally, consumer preferences for fresh potatoes over processed forms limit domestic demand.
