Global Chickpea Flour Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Adoption of healthy foods due to rising chronic diseases

Chickpea flour is becoming more popular as an active ingredient in bakery and confectionary as a wheat flour substitute, dietary supplement, dairy manufacturers for creamy textures in ice creams, changes in consumer lifestyle, and rapid urbanisation have all contributed to an increase in demand. Changes in consumer dietary habits, as well as a shift toward healthier foods to prevent cardiovascular disease and control blood sugar levels, are driving the global chickpea flour market.

• Growing need for organic substitutes in the food and beverage industry

Chickpea flour has been shown to be an excellent dairy substitute, particularly in the preparation of ice cream. This is because chickpea flour has a creamy texture when heated and is high in carbohydrates, fats, and protein. These are the vitamins and minerals found in milk and milk products. As the demand for such products grows, so does the supply of organic chickpea flour. Chickpea flour is also used to give dairy products a creamier texture.

Opportunities

• Product Innovations

Food and beverage manufacturers are taking into account the health benefits of organic chickpea flour and incorporating significant constituents to make products more delectable and nutritious. The use of organic chickpea flour in cosmetics is expected to increase demand for similar products. Aside from that, the use of chickpea flour for disease prevention and health maintenance is expected to drive positive value growth during the forecast period. Traditionally, wheat flour is used in baked goods; however, chickpea flour, like wheat flour, has a new healthy and delicious baking use; as a result, chickpea flour demand is expected to rise.

Restraints

• High price issues

However, the high price of chickpea in comparison to traditional chickpea may limit demand for the global organic chickpea flour market. Consumption of chickpea in large quantities causes gastric problems and stomach bloating, which are expected to impede global market growth.
