The pea flakes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued health and wellness focus, expanding vegan and vegetarian markets, government policies and subsidies, rising environmental awareness, increased acceptance of alternative proteins. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for clean label and natural ingredients, expansion of pet food applications, investments in processing technologies, emergence of pea flakes as a texturizing agent, global market penetration.
The growing demand for convenience foods is anticipated to drive the expansion of the pea flakes market in the future. Convenience food refers to items that are nearly ready to eat upon purchase and can be prepared quickly and easily. The rise in demand for convenience foods is attributed to busy lifestyles, increasing urbanization, and the need for quick meal solutions. Pea flakes are increasingly incorporated into convenience foods due to their nutritional benefits, versatility, and ability to enhance the protein content of ready-to-eat meals and snacks. For example, in March 2024, the Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, a commercial banking firm based in Thailand, reported that the domestic market for Thai-made ready-to-eat food is projected to grow by 3.0-4% annually from 2024 to 2026. Additionally, in 2022, the ready-to-eat food sector recorded total domestic and export sales volume of 482.4 thousand tons, valued at USD 2 billion. Thus, the increasing demand for convenience foods is fueling the growth of the pea flakes market.
The increasing vegetarian population is expected to stimulate the growth of the pea flakes market in the coming years. The vegetarian population consists of individuals who follow a vegetarian diet. Pea flakes are important for this demographic as they provide a plant-based, protein-rich snack option that aligns with ethical, health, and sustainability values. For instance, in January 2023, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service reported that Germany had the highest rate of vegetarianism; in 2022, over 1.5 million individuals identified as vegans, 1.58 million claimed to be vegans, and nearly 8 million consumed vegetarian food. In contrast, just a decade ago, only 0.1 million individuals were identified as vegans. Therefore, the growing vegetarian population is contributing to the growth of the pea flakes market.
Product innovation is a significant trend gaining traction in the pea flakes market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on creating innovative products to enhance their market presence. For example, in November 2023, BENEO GmbH, a food company based in Germany, unveiled new plant-based innovations at the Food Ingredients Europe (FiE) expo, showcasing pea flakes as a vital ingredient. These pea flakes were utilized in products such as beef bites to enhance juiciness and in a meatless vegan binder to improve the texture and cohesiveness of plant-based foods. Beneo's advancements highlight an increasing emphasis on plant-based ingredients that are both versatile and nutritious, catering to consumer demands for flavor and texture in vegan offerings.
Key players in the pea flakes market are intensifying their efforts to introduce innovative products like gluten-free snacks to secure a competitive advantage. Gluten-free snacks are food items that do not contain gluten, a mixture of proteins present in wheat and related grains such as barley and rye. For instance, in August 2023, Calbee Inc., a food company from Japan, launched a new flavor of their Harvest Snaps snacks in collaboration with Walmart. The Harvest Snaps range provides a variety of plant-based options, including the popular Snapea Crisps. These gluten-free snacks are lightly salted and baked rather than fried, making them a healthier snacking alternative. Crafted from green peas, Harvest Snaps are recognized for their satisfying crunch and delightful flavor. The sampler package features seven different flavors, allowing consumers to enjoy a diverse selection of tasty, plant-based baked snacks.
