The pulses market in India exhibited a slight upward trend in per capita volume consumption from 2024 to 2028, with a steady increase from 9.99 kilograms in 2024 to 10.1 kilograms in 2028. This trend represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period, which can be perceived as incremental yet positive in terms of consumer uptake.

Looking at the future trends, potential factors to watch include:

Increased health consciousness driving demand for plant-based proteins, possibly escalating consumption further.
Government policies supporting agriculture and production enhancements might lead to reduced prices and higher accessibility.
Potential impacts of climate change on agricultural yields, which could affect supply and subsequently per capita availability.
