Chickpea Snacks Market Grow with a CAGR of 8.43% through 2029

The global chickpea snacks market is growing due to increasing health-conscious consumers, demand for plant-based snacks, and chickpeas' nutritional benefits, including high protein and fiber content, driving innovation and market expansion

According to TechSci Research report, “Chickpea Snacks Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029F”, the global Chickpea Snacks market stood at USD 1.84 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow USD 2.98 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 8.43% during the forecast period. The global chickpea snacks market is experiencing significant growth, driven by several key factors, including increasing consumer demand for healthier snack options, growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of chickpeas, and innovations in product offerings. Chickpeas, known for their high protein, fiber, and micronutrient content, have gained popularity as a primary ingredient in snacks, especially among health-conscious consumers. This surge in popularity is part of a broader shift toward plant-based, gluten-free, and low-calorie foods, as more people adopt healthier lifestyles and seek alternatives to traditional snack foods. Chickpea snacks, such as roasted chickpeas, chickpea chips, puffs, and bars, are perceived as healthier alternatives to conventional snacks like potato chips, crackers, and other processed foods, which are often high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium.

One of the primary drivers of the chickpea snacks market is the growing consumer demand for plant-based and gluten-free options. As the plant-based food movement gains momentum, more consumers are looking for plant-based protein sources that are not only nutritious but also delicious. Chickpeas, which are a great source of plant-based protein, have quickly become a popular ingredient in the snack food industry. In addition to being a protein source, chickpeas are rich in fiber, which aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness, making them a sought-after ingredient in snacks that cater to weight-conscious consumers.

In addition to plant-based and gluten-free trends, the growing interest in clean-label foods is another significant factor driving the chickpea snacks market. Consumers are increasingly concerned about the ingredients in their food and are becoming more discerning about the types of additives and preservatives they consume. Clean-label foods, which are made with simple, natural ingredients and without artificial additives, are gaining popularity among consumers who are looking for more transparency in their food choices. Chickpea snacks, with their minimal ingredients and natural flavors, align well with the clean-label movement, making them an appealing option for health-conscious consumers. These snacks are often marketed as being free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, further reinforcing their appeal to consumers who are seeking healthier, more wholesome snack alternatives.
