Pulses Market Positioned for Strong Expansion with 5.70% Growth in France, Unlocking New Opportunities for Global Manufacturers

The global pulses market is entering a decisive growth phase, projected to expand from USD 82.4 billion in 2025 to nearly USD 143.1 billion by 2035, achieving a robust compound annual growth rate of 5.7%. This expansion reflects the surging adoption of plant-based proteins and functional food ingredients. Manufacturers are recognizing pulses not only as affordable, nutrient-dense commodities but also as the backbone of innovation in sustainable food production.

Whole-Form Pulses to Lead Market Share

Whole-form pulses are expected to dominate with a 44.0% share in 2025. Their popularity stems from minimal processing, nutrient retention, and strong consumer preference for natural ingredients. In regions such as Asia Pacific and the Middle East, whole-form pulses remain deeply integrated into traditional cooking, while in North America and Europe, they are increasingly used in soups, ready-to-eat meals, and clean-label product lines. Their long shelf life and ease of storage further strengthen their appeal to both households and large-scale processors.

Chickpeas at the Forefront of Product Innovation

Chickpeas are projected to secure the largest product share at 37.5% in 2025. Their versatility spans from hummus and falafel in traditional cuisines to high-protein snacks, gluten-free flours, and meat substitutes in developed markets. Chickpeas are fueling the expansion of plant-based diets in Europe and North America, while also offering affordable protein alternatives in developing economies. For manufacturers, this category represents a high-value investment space with opportunities for diversified product development.

Strategic Agricultural Initiatives Driving Supply

In India, forward-looking measures are already underway to boost pulse cultivation. During the 2025 kharif season, the Gumla district agriculture department will distribute high-yielding varieties such as Pant Arhar-6 and Kota Urad-6 across 1,260 hectares. With 2,500 mini-kits of Arhar and 3,800 kits of Urad provided, this initiative is designed to cut reliance on imports, enhance soil fertility through nitrogen fixation, and increase farmer income. These policies, aligned with India’s broader self-sufficiency goals, will ensure more stable global supply chains and mitigate price fluctuations.

Trade Dynamics and Global Expansion

The trade landscape for pulses underscores the commodity’s importance as a global staple. Canada, India, Australia, Myanmar, and Russia remain leading exporters, ensuring a consistent flow of lentils, peas, and chickpeas to major importers such as Bangladesh, Egypt, and the UAE. Meanwhile, nations with rising demand, including North Africa and China, are increasing imports to stabilize domestic supply. This interdependence highlights a strategic opportunity for manufacturers to forge partnerships and secure long-term contracts across geographies.

Demand Outlook: Health and Sustainability at the Core

Consumer preferences are shifting rapidly toward healthier, sustainable diets. Pulses, being rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals, have become central to functional foods, nutraceuticals, and plant-based diets. Their role in reducing cholesterol, improving digestion, and offering eco-friendly protein sources resonates strongly with health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers. For manufacturers, this presents a dual growth pathway: capitalize on mainstream retail demand while also innovating within the wellness and pharmaceutical sectors.

Regional Leadership and Opportunities

Asia Pacific, particularly India, Myanmar, and China, dominates global pulse production. In contrast, Western nations are expanding product portfolios to cater to vegan and vegetarian populations. North Africa’s growing exports are reinforcing its role in the global supply chain, while the United States is expected to achieve an impressive CAGR of 8.1% through 2035, underscoring the region’s evolving consumption landscape. These dynamics create a fertile environment for manufacturers to localize strategies, balance production, and capture niche market segments.
