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.
