In 2023, the volume of the pulses market in France stood at 112.0 thousand metric tons. Forecasts for 2024 to 2026 predict a stable market size at 112.0 thousand metric tons, followed by a slight decrease to 111.0 thousand metric tons in 2027 and 2028. No year-on-year variation is noted from 2023 up to 2026, indicating stability in consumption or production. The anticipated minimal decline from 2027 onwards suggests potential market saturation or decreased consumer demand.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in consumer dietary preferences towards plant-based proteins that might reinvigorate demand for pulses.
- Policy changes or sustainable agricultural practices that could impact production and availability.
- Economic factors affecting the affordability and competitive pricing of pulses compared to alternative protein sources.
