In 2023, the re-import of dried shelled chickpeas to France stood at 11.5 thousand kilograms. Forecasts show a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, with values rising from 12.01 to 14.0 thousand kilograms. The projected year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2028 highlights a consistent upward trend, reflecting an increasing demand for chickpeas. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period is expected to be approximately 2.66%, indicating robust long-term growth potential.
Future trends to watch for include changing consumer preferences towards plant-based proteins, potential impacts from international trade policies, and climate-related factors affecting global chickpea yields, all of which could influence the demand and supply landscape significantly.
