The import of dried shelled chickpeas to the US is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028, with forecasted values consistently rising from 85.658 million kilograms in 2024 to 97.959 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates from 2024 to 2028 are approximately 3.7%, 3.49%, 3.31%, and 3.14%, respectively. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is about 3.41%. In 2023, the import volume stood lower than in 2024, setting a baseline for understanding this future growth trend.
Future trends to watch for may include changes in global chickpea production affecting supply chains, potential shifts in consumer dietary preferences towards plant-based proteins, and impact of US trade policies on agriculture imports, which could all influence the import volumes of chickpeas.
