The pea flakes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable protein sources, rising adoption in functional food formulations, expansion of plant-based diets, growing use in specialty animal feeds, increasing investments in pulse processing infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of plant-based nutritional ingredients, rising demand for natural and minimally processed foods, growing adoption in animal feed applications, expansion of organic pea-based products, enhanced focus on digestibility and nutrient retention.

Rising demand for convenience foods is expected to propel the growth of the pea flakes market going forward. Convenience food refers to food that is nearly ready to eat when purchased and can be quickly and easily prepared. The demand for convenience foods is increasing due to busy lifestyles, rising urbanization, and the need for quick and hassle-free meal solutions. Pea flakes are increasingly used in convenience foods because of their nutritional benefits, versatility, and ability to enhance the protein content of ready-to-eat meals and snacks. For instance, in March 2024, the Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited, a Thailand-based commercial banking company, reported that the domestic market for Thai-made ready-to-eat food is expected to grow by 3.0-4.0% annually from 2024 to 2026. Additionally, in 2022, the ready-to-eat food industry recorded total domestic and export sales of 482.4 thousand tons, valued at USD 2.0 billion. Therefore, rising demand for convenience foods is driving the growth of the pea flakes market.

The increase in demand for plant-based proteins is also expected to propel the growth of the pea flakes market going forward. Plant-based proteins are derived from non-animal sources such as legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds and provide essential nutrients while supporting healthier and more sustainable diets. Demand for plant-based proteins is rising as consumers increasingly prioritize high-protein diets, reduce meat consumption, and seek allergen-friendly and environmentally sustainable food options. Pea flakes support this trend by offering a convenient, nutrient-dense, and versatile source of plant protein suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and flexitarians. For instance, in April 2023, according to The Good Food Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, global retail sales of plant-based meat, seafood, eggs, and dairy products reached approximately US $29 billion in 2023, up from around US $21.6 billion previously. Therefore, the growing demand for plant-based proteins is further driving the growth of the pea flakes market.

Key players in the pea flakes market are intensifying their efforts to introduce innovative products like gluten-free snacks to secure a competitive advantage. Gluten-free snacks are food items that do not contain gluten, a mixture of proteins present in wheat and related grains such as barley and rye. For instance, in August 2023, Calbee Inc., a food company from Japan, launched a new flavor of their Harvest Snaps snacks in collaboration with Walmart. The Harvest Snaps range provides a variety of plant-based options, including the popular Snapea Crisps. These gluten-free snacks are lightly salted and baked rather than fried, making them a healthier snacking alternative. Crafted from green peas, Harvest Snaps are recognized for their satisfying crunch and delightful flavor. The sampler package features seven different flavors, allowing consumers to enjoy a diverse selection of tasty, plant-based baked snacks.
