Carob Powder Market Trends:

Increasing Demand for Organic and Natural Products

The carob powder market is witnessing substantial growth, driven by escalating consumer demand for natural and organic products.

These alternatives are often free from caffeine and artificial additives, aligning with the clean-label movement that prioritizes transparency and natural ingredients in food products.This shift in consumer preference is further fueled by growing awareness of the potential health benefits of carob powder, such as its rich antioxidant properties and high fiber content, which is propelling the product demand as it aligns with rising shift towards natural ingredients. According to a report review published in June 2023, carob is considered to be anti-cancerous, anti-diabetic, and anti-bacterial. Additionally, it is a rich source of dietary fiber, comprising 27% to 50% of its composition.

Rising Adoption of Plant-based and Vegan Diets

The expansion of plant-based and vegan diets substantially enhances the carob powder market value as it is a plant-derived product that is rapidly being favored by consumers that adhere to such diets. The versatility of carob powder in culinary sector, from beverages to baking, increases its popularity in vegan recipes. The elevating number of consumers adopting vegan lifestyles for ethical, environmental, and health purposes bolsters the requirement for carob powder. According to market data, consumers with plant-based diets account for 75% less in greenhouse gas emissions than individuals who consume 3.5 ounces of meat a day. This trend is further aided by food manufacturers developing and innovating new plant-based food products blending carob powder as a chief ingredient.
