Region North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa

Beans are expected to dominate the pulses market share due to their health benefits in the coming years

A 100 grams serving of kidney beans contains 25 grams of fibre; thus beans help to protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and digestive illness. The prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disorders in adults is close to 40% globally in 2020, which fuels the demand for beans for their advantageous properties. The key producers of beans include India, followed by Brazil, Myanmar, and the United Republic of Tanzania.

Lentils are expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the pulses market. As lentils contain folate, which is an essential ingredient for a baby’s development, they are often included in a pregnant woman’s diet. The key producers of lentils include Canada, India, Australia, and Turkey in 2021. Canada produced around 1.6 MMT in 2021. The health benefits of lentils, such as improved heart health, fighting fatigue, and improved digestion, regularity, and satiety, further create opportunities for the market.

Households are expected to be major end users of beans in the forecast period

Households hold a significant share in the market as pulses are a prominent staple diet in many cultures, especially in India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Brazil and Mexico. Pulses exhibit diverse culinary applications in traditional dishes across Asia, Africa, and America, serving as integral components in soups, spreads, meals, snacks, and breakfast items in households. Further, the popularity of pulses can be attributed to their rich protein content, dietary fibre, and essential nutrients.

Meanwhile, the demand for pulses in the HoReCa sector is likely to rise in the coming years amid rising culinary innovations.
