The forecast of France's pulses demand from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline, beginning at 684,000 metric tons in 2024 and diminishing to 675,000 metric tons by 2028. Relative to 2023, this indicates a subtle yet consistent downward trend, with an expected annual decrease of about 0.41% on average during this period. Compared to 2023, where demand data was static, the upcoming years reflect a shift towards slightly reduced consumption.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in consumer dietary preferences towards plant-based nutrition.
Impacts of agricultural policies and trade developments on import and production levels.
Environmental concerns influencing sustainable farming practices and pulse consumption.
Evolving socio-economic factors such as cost fluctuations affecting purchasing behaviors.
