Pulse Flour Market

High Use of Antibiotics and Adulteration in Farm Animals is to Change Consumer Protein Consumption Pattern

Clean labelled products, made with natural and plant-based ingredients, are enjoying massive growth across different verticals of the food industry. In tandem with the same trend, the pulse flour market has carved a niche for itself amongst the health-conscious consumers who have access to vegan products.

Gluten allergies have been a big cause of concern, making consumers choose better. This has caused pulse flour, banana flour, almond flour, and tapioca starch to gradually substitute wheat and rice flour in several food products. This paradigm shift can be felt across the baking industry that is constantly trying to appeal to a younger demographic by making their products healthy.

In the U.S. alone more than 1.8 million population are on a gluten-free diet. Pulse flour offers an excellent gluten-free option to end users, making it safer for a majority of consumers. Using pulse flour has also allowed food manufacturers the advantage of labelling products as “free-from” to cash in a raging movement to help consumers make informed decisions, especially in the developed markets.

The market is also expected to find additional momentum as lactose intolerant people move towards a plant-based protein diet for holistic nutrition. Baby food manufacturers will focus on the use of pulse flour to appeal to mothers balancing the tightrope walk of nutrition and limited choices.

Conventionally, meat-laden meals were popular protein diets. However, roaring voices for animal rights, awareness about the high use of antibiotics to rear cattle and poultry, and ocean pollution have put on the spotlight on vegan diet. Studies indicate that in 2019 more than 14% of the people in UK were vegan while in Germany the count stood at 1.3 million. With the aforementioned factors, the demand for pulse flour has risen considerably as it is high in proteins, fibres, and micronutrients. Focus on maximizing quality protein consumption is expected to fuel the pulse flour market between 2021 and 2025.

Pea Pulse Flour to Pace Ahead as it Offers Excellent Protein Levels

The peas segment is estimated to hold a major share in the global pulse flour market as it is a rich source of protein. This sole reason has gained pea flour sizeable traction in the confectionery industry. It is also being used for pasta production as consumers seek a healthier alternative.

The food segment is further sub-segmented as bakery, pasta, dairy, and snacks.

The Europe pulse flour market is expected to register a relatively high CAGR over the forecast period. A swelling wave of veganism will drive market growth in the region. Higher awareness about healthier diets is steadily replacing all-purpose flour with pulse flour in recent years. As the region has several bakeries, it is expected to be a significant consumer of pulse flour in the coming years.

The U.S. is also expected to register substantial growth over the forecast period. Increased consumer preference for egg-free and gluten-free products due to their allergic natures is expected to support the growth of plant-derived natural food products.
