The companies are aiming to introduce protein-rich, sustainable crops globally, and are first working in Southern Africa, where PURIS’ pea variety has excelled in early trials. Additionally, the companies will be accelerating development on innovative processes and food products that deliver on affordability, sustainability, and nutrition within the plant-based meat and dairy spaces.

Globally, pea starch has gained immense popularity in the food and starch industries. From easy processing to firm gels, pea starch is extensively used in a broad range of applications as it offers key performance and functionality benefits.

Key Market Trends

Consumer Preference For Free-from Food Ingredients To Drive The Sales Of Pea Starch

As consumers globally have grown more health-conscious, clean label alternatives to modified starches have been developed and come in greater focus. More comprehensive focus on minimally processed food products, more authentic and real ingredients, no synthetic additives, and antibiotic-free food products drive the demand for clean label starches, globally. Increased demand for healthy products experienced a significant increase in the launch of processed food products, including pea protein, as ingredients. Satisfying the need for pea protein has resulted in increased availability of other pea-based products based on fiber and starch. Pea starch is a non-GMO, clean label ingredient providing gluten-free, allergen-free, low-calorie, low-fat solutions to a wide range of consumers. Pea starch offers numerous unique features, such as the formation of high viscosity pastes and stronger gels, which can benefit the food industry, especially as an alternative to chemically modified starch. The rise in popularity of veganism, dietary supplements, and flexitarian diet are the major accelerators for the growth of the global pea starch market. The rising popularity of quitting meat and the influence of social media has a huge impact on the growth of the market as people are increasingly becoming aware of the side effects of meat and dairy products. The enriched nutrients derived from the alternative food choices are expanding the opportunities for the pea starch market. Higher diagnosis of consumers facing meat allergies and lactose intolerance is moving them towards healthier food alternatives. Another factor boosting the market growth is the rise in the number of diseases due to sedentary lifestyles. Doctors and dieticians are suggesting patients quit unhealthy consumption of antibiotic-fed meat products and choose better alternatives thus, bolstering the demand for pea starch.

According to The Vegan Society, over the period under consideration, the number of vegans in Great Britain quadrupled. In 2014, the number of vegans was estimated to be 150 thousand, which increased to 600 thousand in 2019. That year, vegans accounted for 1.16% of the population of Great Britain.
