The India dry beans market size reached USD 236.90 Million in ​2024​. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 329.64 Million by ​2033​, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.70% during ​2025-2033​. The India dry beans market share is expanding, driven by the increasing adoption of advanced agricultural techniques to improve yield and quality of dry beans, along with the rising focus on building rural infrastructure, including cold storage and efficient supply chains.

India Dry Beans Market Trends:

Rising demand for food products

The increasing demand for food items is fueling the India dry beans market growth. As people are becoming more health-conscious, they are seeking plant-based protein sources, making dry beans a popular choice in daily diets. The rising population further drives the demand, as beans serve as an affordable and nutritious staple food. According to the United Nations Organization (UNO), India's population is anticipated to reach 1.45 Billion in 2024, peaking at 1.69 Billion by 2054. Besides this, the burgeoning food processing industry creates the need, with beans being used in ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, snacks, and packaged food products. Increasing disposable incomes and changing dietary habits lead to higher consumption of diverse dry bean varieties, increasing their market value. Export demand is also growing, as Indian dry beans gain traction in international markets. Farmers adopt advanced agricultural techniques to improve yield and quality, further strengthening the market. With supermarkets and online grocery platforms expanding, dry beans have become more accessible to urban and rural consumers, supporting steady market growth.

Increasing government initiatives

The rise in government investments is offering a favorable India dry beans market outlook. Government schemes provide financial support to farmers for better seeds, irrigation, and modern farming techniques. In August 2024, the Union Cabinet sanctioned the Clean Plant Programme (CPP) with a budget of INR 1765.67 Crores. It sought to improve the quality and productivity of horticultural crops and aid in adopting climate-resilient varieties, resulting in higher yields. Subsidies on fertilizers, storage facilities, and transportation reduce costs and ensure a steady supply, making dry beans more affordable for consumers. Investments in agricultural research promote the development of disease-resistant bean varieties, enhancing productivity. The government’s push for self-sufficiency in pulses through Minimum Support Prices (MSP) encourages more farmers to cultivate dry beans, ensuring stable income. Strengthening rural infrastructure, including cold storage and efficient supply chains, reduces post-harvest losses and increases market reach. Export incentives help Indian dry beans to gain a stronger presence in international markets, thereby driving the demand. Apart from this, digital platforms assist in streamlining farmer access to buyers, improving sales and profits. As government funding continues to grow, the market benefits from higher production, better pricing, and better availability, making them a key staple in India’s food sector.
