Pulse Ingredients Market Size, Share, Growth Drivers, Industry Overview, Trends, and Leading Players

Pulse Ingredients Market by Type (Pulse Flour, Pulse Starch, Pulse Proteins, Pulse Fibers & Grits), Source (Lentils, Peas, Beans, Chickpeas), Application (Food & Beverages, Feed) and Region - Global Forecast to 2027
The global [https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/pulse-ingredients-market-worth-25-9-billion-by-2027--exclusive-report-by-marketsandmarkets-301604167.html] is estimated to be valued at USD 20.7 billion in 2022. It is projected to reach USD 25.9 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. The pulse sector is undergoing dynamic changes at global, regional, and country levels, to meet the challenge of growing demand in face of sluggish production growth. Projections indicate that demand for pulse ingredients will continue to grow in the short-to-medium term in developing counties due to a growing population and rising per capita income. Pulse ingredients can play a major role in providing consumers with an alternative protein source. Soy and pea protein are still responsible for most new vegan products in Europe, according to The Vegan Review. But the growing demand for plant protein is also a good opportunity to shift away from these mainstream protein crops and introduce more variety in pulses or new protein sources such as sprouted grains. This may open opportunities for new source countries that can offer attractive bean varieties with consistent quality.

What are pulse ingredients?

Pulse ingredients refer to the edible seeds of leguminous crops, such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas. These ingredients are highly nutritious and are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Pulses are valued for their role in promoting sustainable agriculture due to their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. They are also recognized for their potential contribution to addressing food security and combating malnutrition globally. Pulse ingredients can be used in various food products, including soups, snacks, baked goods, and plant-based meat alternatives, due to their versatility and nutritional benefits.

Pulse Ingredients Market Opportunities [https://www.marketsandmarketsblog.com/unlocking-the-potential-the-growing-pulse-ingredients-market.html]: Emerging markets illustrating great potential for pulse ingredients

The demand for pulse ingredients is driven by an increase in processed and convenience foods production. Emerging economies such as India and China, in the Asia Pacific region, are exhibiting high growth. The Asia Pacific region also provides a cost advantage in terms of production and processing. High demand, coupled with low cost of production is a key feature, which will aid pulse ingredients suppliers and manufacturers in targeting market.

The increasing number of working women and nuclear families, improved standard of living, and changing lifestyles have contributed to the increase in demand for convenience and ready-to-eat foods. Busier lifestyles have increased the demand for on-the-go products so as to reduce the time spent on preparing meals; this results in a growing trend for snacks and consequently drives the market for RTE & bakery products, soups, and snacks prepared from pulse ingredients. The rise in demand for these products also results in an increased demand for healthier products incorporating pulse ingredients.

The pulse ingredients market is estimated to grow at a significant rate in the emerging markets of Brazil, and the Middle East, among others. The economic developments in these countries have resulted in an increase in the expenditure on food products. These economies are untapped markets and therefore offer significant opportunities for the pulse ingredients industry. They offer a huge consumer base with the growing need for processed foods. Steady sales of a variety of processed & packaged food products and prepared meals in the markets of developed economies have reached the maturity stage with limited growth scope.

The chickpea segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Chickpeas or garbanzo beans are a good source of proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, and include high levels of dietary fiber. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2019, India was the largest producer of chickpeas with about 70% supply coming from the country. It is the third largest produced legume in South Asia after bean and pea. Desi and Kabuli are two distinct types of cultivated chickpea; the Kabuli is grown in West Asia and the Mediterranean region, whereas the desi type is grown in the Indian subcontinent. Increased consumption of chicpea and use in various food and beverage application to drive the market for the segment.

Asia Pacific is Projected to Account for the Majority of Share in the Global Market During the Forecast Period.

Interest in pulses as a sustainable food source has expanded significantly. They are low in fat, high in nutrients, protein and soluble fiber. Because pulses do not contain gluten, they are acceptable for gluten-free diets for people with celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Pulses' high nutritional value makes them great food, especially in areas where access to meat and dairy products is difficult due to economic, distribution, and marketing barriers.

Japan is also one of the potential pulse ingredients market due to its large geriatric population base. This is expected to fuel the demand for protein-enriched food products, thereby boosting the sales of pulse ingredients. Thus, the Asia Pacific region is expected to generate high demand for pulse ingredients in the coming years owing to the large population base and developing economies shifting toward plant-based ingredients.
