In his keynote, Euromonitor International's Senior Global Territory Director highlighted rising global pulse consumption, strong food demand growth through 2030, and the long-term resilience of pulse markets despite short-term volatility.
Matt Tripodi’s presentation at Pulses 26 underscored that the global pulse sector is entering a new phase of expansion, with per capita pulse consumption returning to levels last seen in the late 1960s. He pointed to increasing demand across regions, particularly in Asia-Pacific, where food service and grocery retail sales are projected to account for more than one-third of global food market growth through 2030.
While acknowledging challenges such as tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty, inflation and climate-related production risks, he emphasized that pulses are uniquely positioned to benefit from rising consumer demand for affordable, nutritious and sustainable foods. His message to industry participants was clear: despite market fluctuations, the long-term direction for pulses remains firmly upward.
