COVID-19 Impact: Positive impact on the global pulse ingredients market

The emergence of new coronaviruses, as well as the resulting lockdown restrictions, has wreaked havoc on the food supply chain. Due to the shutdown or reduced operations of the food service industry, global demand for pulse ingredients has decreased. Sales of processed foods such as bakery and confectionery, snacks, breakfast cereals, and functional beverages, on the other hand, increased during this time, somewhat offsetting the loss in the foodservice industry. Pulse ingredients have also been used extensively in processed foods. Because of the sector's resiliency in the face of the pandemic, pulse ingredients are expected to grow both during and after the pandemic.
