The pulse ingredients market is expected to register a CAGR of 4% during 2023–2031. Growing popularity of plant-based diets, pulse ingredients are increasingly used as protein sources in meat alternatives, dairy substitutes, and other plant-based products is likely to remain a key trend in the market.

Pulse Ingredients Market Analysis

  • Awareness of the health benefits of pulse ingredients is a key market driver: pulses are an excellent source of protein, with fiber, vitamins, and minerals accounting for the rest. Growing consumer interest in healthy food combined with demographic changes means that pulse ingredients can help fulfill the demand for healthier, more nutritious options. Many consumers are looking to eat less meat but still rely on high-quality protein in their diet, and pulse ingredients are an excellent, plant-based alternative.
  • When combined with the fact that pulse-based ingredients are so versatile (food manufacturers are using ingredients derived from pulses in everything from baked goods and snacks to plant-based meat alternatives and dairy substitutes), consumers have more options than ever when it comes to buying products made from these underutilized crops.
  • Sustainability considerations are also fuelling the pulse ingredients trend. Pulse grains have a lower environmental footprint than many other crops because they require fewer water and fertilizer inputs. A growing focus on sustainable food production among consumers and companies positions pulse ingredients well for this trend.

Pulse Ingredients Market Overview

  • The global pulse ingredients market is seeing growing popularity across consumers and manufacturers this year, attributed to the overall shift to plant-based diets and sustainable food sources across the globe. Pulses include lentils, chickpeas, dry beans and peas – which are nutritious and versatile in food applications.
  • The increased consumer awareness of the health benefits of pulse consumption is one of the major factors fuelling the growth in the pulse ingredients market. Packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, pulses are in high demand from consumers looking to adopt a healthier diet. This is especially true of millennial and Gen Z consumers, who are typically more inclined to opt for plant-based eating patterns compared with other demographics.
  • Pulse ingredients are innovating for this niche by showing up in snacks and baked goods as well as in meat replacements and food imitations of dairy products like vegan cheeses and butter. Pulse ingredients are entering food formulations far and wide, not only for their nutritional value but also thanks to the functional properties of pulse ingredients, including their functionality to improve texture and increase water retention and binding, and their natural coloring of foods.

Pulse Ingredients Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Consumer Inclination Toward Nutritious Food Products Drives Pulse Ingredients Market

  • Consumers are becoming more aware of the impact of food on health and are, therefore, looking for foods with better nutritional profiles. Pulses are an excellent source of protein and fiber and contain vitamins and minerals in plentiful amounts. They provide a plant-based protein for those who wish to reduce their consumption of meat, as well as those who follow vegetarian and vegan diets. The recent dietary shift is pushing food processors to formulate foods utilizing pulse ingredients into nearly every type of food product.
  • Demand also rests on the growing awareness of how diet impacts chronic diseases – pulse ingredients have been linked to decreased risk of heart disease, assisting with weight management, and helping to level out blood sugar due to the slow digestion of carbohydrates. Tapping this growing consumer awareness and desire to access the health benefits of pulse ingredients can also keep demand alive as consumers learn more about the health benefits of such ingredients and seek out items with pulse ingredients listed on their labels.
  • Clean label and nutritional labeling trends are also driving demand for pulse ingredients. Today, consumers care deeply about the ingredients in the packet and the nutrition facts tucked away at the back. Pulse ingredients' natural, nutrition-rich nature allows manufacturers to increase the nutrition content of their products while maintaining a clean label (free from artificial ingredients and heavy processing) at the same time. Artificial additives are viewed with suspicion by the increasingly health conscience consumer.

Rising Number of Vegan and Vegeterian Population

  • The number of vegetarians and vegans is increasing globally and providing substantial growth prospects for the market. Pulse ingredients comprise a major part of the diet for vegetarian and vegan populations. This can lead to increased demand in the future.
  • Increased preference for specialized diets among the rising health-conscious population is a key driver for the market for pulse ingredients. People are more aware of the adverse effects of the typical Western diet, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, and are consequently moving towards healthier food options.
  • The versatility of pulse ingredients is especially helpful in supplying vegetarians and vegans with foods that recreate traditional animal-based products. Pulse flours, proteins, and starches are used to create the appearance, flavor, and texture that people expect from their favorite foods; many foods made from these flour ingredients allow consumers to eat and enjoy what they always have, avoiding even the slightest sense of sacrifice. The result has been the explosion in plant-based products offering creative plant-based foods with surprising similarities to our traditional favorites, and many of these foods rely on pulse ingredients.
