According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Pulses Market is accounted for $75.7 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $110.8 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Pulses are a subgroup of legumes harvested for their dried seeds, including beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas. Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, pulses are an essential component of a healthy diet worldwide, particularly in vegetarian and vegan diets. They are versatile ingredients used in various culinary dishes, providing nutritious and sustainable sources of plant-based protein.

According to the European Commission, it will allocate €185.9 million in 2024 to fund promotion activities for sustainable and high-quality EU agri-food products at home and abroad. The 2024 promotion policy work program adopted by the Commission aims to develop new market opportunities while taking into account political priorities, an analysis of projected exports to existing and emerging markets, and contributions from stakeholders.

Market Dynamics: 

Driver: 

Rising popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets

Pulses, a rich source of plant-based protein, are increasingly sought after by individuals adopting these dietary preferences. As consumers become more health-conscious and environmentally aware, they seek nutritious and sustainable protein sources, with pulses being a prominent choice. This trend not only boosts the demand for pulses but also drives innovation in pulse-based food products, contributing to the overall growth and expansion of the market.

Restraint:

Challenges in storage and transportation

Challenges in storage and transportation are significant restraints in the pulses market due to the perishable nature of pulses and the need for proper handling to maintain quality. Issues such as inadequate infrastructure, lack of cold storage facilities, and inefficient transportation systems can lead to spoilage, loss of quality, and increased costs. Additionally, pulses require specific storage conditions to prevent moisture absorption and pest infestation, further complicating the logistics chain. 

Opportunity:

Expansion of pulse-based food products in the food industry

As consumer awareness of the health benefits of pulses grows, there is a rising demand for nutritious and sustainable food options. Pulse-based food products, such as snacks, flour, pasta, and beverages, offer versatility and functionality in various culinary applications. Additionally, the increasing popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets fuels the demand for plant-based protein sources, further driving the growth of pulse-based food products in the food industry.

Threat:

Climate change impacting pulse yields

Climate change poses a significant threat to pulse yields as it leads to unpredictable weather patterns, extreme temperatures, and erratic rainfall, negatively impacting crop growth and productivity. Pulses are particularly vulnerable to temperature fluctuations and water stress, which can result in reduced yields and quality. Additionally, climate-induced pests and diseases may further exacerbate yield losses, increasing the susceptibility of farmers to crop failures and economic losses in the pulse market.

Covid-19 Impact: 

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the pulses market by affecting supply chains, labor availability, and consumer behavior. Lockdowns and restrictions hampered production and transportation, leading to supply shortages and logistical challenges. Additionally, economic uncertainty prompted changes in consumer purchasing patterns, with increased demand for shelf-stable and nutritious foods like pulses. However, reduced disposable income in some regions may have tempered overall consumption, impacting market dynamics and pricing.

The beans segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

In the pulses market, the beans segment is anticipated to dominate during the forecast period. Beans, such as black beans and kidney beans, are widely consumed globally for their nutritional value and versatility in various cuisines. They are rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, appealing to health-conscious consumers seeking plant-based protein sources. Additionally, increasing awareness of the health benefits associated with bean consumption and the growing demand for plant-based diets further drive the growth of this segment.

The food and beverages segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The food and beverages segment is projected to experience lucrative growth in the pulses market during the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the rising demand for healthy and sustainable food options globally. Pulses are increasingly incorporated into various food products, including snacks, soups, spreads, and beverages, due to their nutritional benefits and versatility. Moreover, consumer preferences for plant-based protein sources and clean-label products further drive the expansion of pulses in the food and beverage industry.

Region with largest share:

Over the forecast period, Asia Pacific is poised to lead the pulses market due to the region's large population, with a significant portion relying on pulses as a dietary staple. Moreover, increasing health consciousness, rising disposable incomes, and urbanization contribute to the growing demand for pulses in Asia Pacific. Additionally, favorable agricultural conditions and government initiatives supporting pulse cultivation further bolster the region's dominance in the global pulses market.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, Europe is positioned for rapid growth in the pulses market due to increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits associated with pulses and the rising adoption of vegetarian and flexitarian diets, which drive demand. Additionally, government initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture and the use of pulses in food products further stimulate market growth. Moreover, the expanding market for plant-based protein sources and the growing popularity of ethnic cuisines incorporating pulses contribute to Europe's promising outlook in the pulses market.
