Driving Factors

"Market Growth Is Being Fueled By The Rising Acceptance Of Veganism And Plant-Based Diets"

Veganism and plant-based diets have grown in popularity in recent years as people become more conscious of the ethical and environmental consequences of ingesting animal products. As a result, there is now a higher demand for food items made from plants rather than from animals, such pulse flour. A form of flour called pulse flour is produced from legumes including peas, beans, and lentils. It is an excellent alternative to wheat flour in many recipes since it is abundant in protein, fibre, and other vitamins and minerals. The rising acceptance of plant-based diets and veganism suggests that demand for pulse flour market growth is likely to be high. It is the perfect option for individuals who want to consume fewer animal products while still obtaining all the important vitamins and minerals they require because of its nutritional advantages and environmental friendliness. The increased rate of acceptance of veganism and plant-based diets is mostly due to the rising frequency of celiac disease and sensitivities associated to gluten.

"The Growing Consumer Awareness Of The Need Of Including Wholesome Foods In Daily Diets Is The Main Factor Driving The Market"

The market for pulse flour is expanding as a result of the rising demand for natural and organic foods. Consumers are searching for healthier substitutes as they become more aware of the food they are eating.

Restraining Factors

"Less Flavour Of Pulse Flour Is A Barrier To Market Expansion"

It could be challenging to convince customers to convert to pulse flour as it lacks the identifiable flavour of conventional flour. Customers could be reluctant to try anything new or flavor-wise that differs from what they are accustomed to. Consumers may be even less likely to try pulse flour because it might be more costly than regular flour. A significant barrier to the commercial pulse flour market growth is the tastelessness of pulse flour. Although pulse flour is very healthy, it doesn't have the same taste or texture as regular flour. Because of this, many consumers are apprehensive to use it in place of their regular flour. Additionally, customers on a tight budget may find pulse flour less alluring because it is sometimes more costly than conventional flour. For bakers who want to incorporate pulse flour in recipes, the absence of flavour might be a problem. It is challenging to bake using pulse flour because of its neutral flavour, which is readily overshadowed by other ingredients. Additionally, some people may not like the slightly gritty feel of pulse flour.
