COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The food supply system has been devastated by the advent of new coronaviruses and the ensuing tight restrictions. The world's demand for components derived from pulses has dropped as a result of the closure or scaling back of the food service sector. On the other hand, sales of processed meals such snacks, breakfast cereals, bakery and confectionery, and functional beverages rose over this period, partially offsetting the decline in the foodservice sector. Ingredients from pulses have also been widely employed in processed foods. Pulse ingredients are predicted to expand both during and following the pandemic due to the industry's resilience in the face of the disease.Market Growth Factors
Growing demand for pulse starch in numerous food and industrial usage
Pulse starch can be used to gel, texturize, bind, coat, thicken, and make films, among other things. It has been utilized in a variety of food applications, including pasta and noodles, pastry, soups & sauces, confectionery, and meat & poultry because of its multifunctionality. Additionally, it is frequently used as a binding agent in the production of vermicelli. Due to its affordability and variety of uses, pulse starch is also a possible alternative for those other starches in beverage and food applications.Increasing adoption of processed and convenience food products
The rise in demand for comfort and ready-to-eat foods has been influenced by several factors, including the growing number of working women and nuclear families, an increased standard of living, and changing lifestyles. The market for RTE & bakery items, soups, and snacks made from pulse ingredients is driven by the growing desire for snacks. Busier lives have boosted the need for on-the-go products to decrease the time spent preparing meals. Demand for healthier products with pulse components also rises as a result of increasing demand for these products.Market Restraining Factors
Flavour of pulse ingredients are unpleasant
Even if the use of pulse components in cuisine is growing, there is always a critical requirement to change the flavour of these nutrients. Since chickpea flour has a distinct flavour, it should not be used in baked goods like biscotti or sugar cookies. On the other side, pea flour doesn't impart flavour to baked goods. Pulses have an off flavour that is both naturally occurring and created through the harvesting, processing, and storing processes. Aldehydes, alcohols, acids, ketones, pyrazines, and derivatives of sulphur are among the substances that give some kinds of pulse components their off-flavor. The market for pulse ingredients is predicted to grow slowly due to consumer perceptions of pulses' bitter flavour.Type Outlook
On the basis of type, the pulse ingredients market is segmented into Pulse Flour, Pulse Starch, Pulse Protein and Pulse Fibers & Grits. The pulse flours segment acquired the highest revenue share in the pulse ingredients market in 2021.

For instance, pulse protein concentrates could be utilized to increase protein content and substitute up to 20% of the wheat flour in bakery formulations. The texture, volume, and flavour of bread made with pulse protein concentrates & flours should be improved using the sponge-dough technique.Regional Outlook
