Report Overview
The pulses market attained a volume of 105.13 MMT in 2025. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 1.70% during the forecast period of 2026-2035. By 2035, the market is expected to reach 124.43 MMT.
The growing adoption of vegetarian and vegan lifestyles combined with the recognition of the environmental impacts of animal agriculture is driving the pulses market for catering to the need for plant-based proteins. According to industry reports, there were over 1.5 billion vegetarians worldwide in 2024, with 75 million being vegetarians by choice and nearly 88 million vegans. This rise in population is accelerating the intake of pulses as excellent sources of plant-based protein for offering an alternative to animal-based protein sources.
Healthy eating is gaining traction in the industry due to its priority for both urban and rural consumers. With more consumers becoming conscious of the ill effects of sedentary lives, they are switching towards fibre-rich and low-fat diets. Consequently, the popularity of ready-to-eat foodstuffs is surging, further strengthening the pulse-based instant snacks market worldwide. Supporting this, in July 2024, Indian sauce maker Masala Mama launched its new line of ready-to-eat legumes in four flavours.
Capacity expansions are significantly boosting the pulses market by enabling producers to meet rising global demand, diversify product offerings, and enhance value-added processing. With consumers increasingly shifting toward plant-based diets and clean-label products, the expansion of facilities is enabling the production of pulse-based flours, proteins, and ready-to-eat items. For instance, in April 2025, Uma Exports inaugurated a pulse processing unit in Navi Mumbai for enhancing its production capacity and strengthening its presence in the agri-commodity sector.
