India Lentils Market- Trend Analysis & Forecasts
Description
India Lentils Market Overview:
India’s lentils market reached ** thousand tonnes in 2023** and is projected to grow at a CAGR of **% during 2024–2030, underpinned by large, protein-reliant consumption and a persistent supply gap. Domestic output has risen but remains short of demand, keeping India among the world’s largest importers; in 2023–24 production was about ** MMT against demand of ** MMT, sustaining strong trade and value-added processing growth toward 2030.
Primary Areas/ Elements of Research & Analysis
The report provides comprehensive and valuable insights into the supply and demand dynamics of the India lentils market. Below are the variables considered and analyzed in the report:
• Supply-demand trends, market growth, and trade
• Market structure, conduct, and performance analysis
• Historical and forecasted market size (volume & value)
• Trade analysis (export & import), including key partners, quantities, values, and price trends
• Supply chain mapping, pricing, and regulatory framework
• Competitive landscape profiling of key players
• Factors influencing market performance, including sustainability trends
Market Growth Factors
Consumption is lifted by health awareness and plant-based diets, with lentils supplying affordable protein, fiber, and micronutrients to a population exceeding 1.4 billion. Output expanded 7.84% over the last 5 years, helped by MSP support and pulse subsidies, while a rising middle class boosts packaged/processed lentil sales; in 2024 domestic use was ** million tonnes, aided by modern retail and convenience formats.
Market Restraints & Challenges
Production volatility stems from erratic monsoons, water stress, and limited arable land, producing recurrent demand–supply gaps (production < demand in 2023–24). Heavy reliance on imports exposes prices to global swings and policy shifts; average import prices ranged **INR **/kg while wholesale hovered **INR **/kg in recent years. Logistics and storage gaps drive post-harvest losses, and higher import duties or non-tariff barriers can raise consumer costs.
Market Segmentation
India shapes global flows as a major importer from Canada, Australia, the U.S., and Russia, with processed lentil exports gradually rising from India’s food processing sector. In 2023–24, imports doubled YoY, including 45.47 thousand tonnes from Russia (up from 371 tonnes in 2022–23), while domestic consumption spanned households, foodservice, and packaged foods—supporting dals, soups, snacks, and protein-fortified products across regions.
Competitive Landscape
The market features domestic producers, traders, and MNCs competing on sourcing strength, quality, and distribution. Key participants include Tata Consumer Products, ITC, Hindustan Unilever, Adani Wilmar, Tinna Trade, and ADM Agro Industries, alongside importers aligned with major origins (Canada/Australia/Russia). MSP-backed procurement and private labels in modern retail intensified price and brand competition through 2024.
Outlook
Through 2030, growth will be driven by plant-protein demand, policy support to raise yields, and supply-chain upgrades that stabilized prices in 2024. Comfortable stocks, diversified sourcing (Russia’s share rising to 45.47 k tonnes in 2023–24), and MSP helped keep domestic prices steady despite global volatility; continued investment in storage, logistics, and seed technology is critical to narrow the import gap while sustaining India’s central role in global lentil trade.
