According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Fava Bean Market is accounted for $4.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. Fava bean, also known as broad bean (Vicia faba), is a flowering plant in the pea and bean family Fabaceae. Native to North Africa and Southwest Asia, it is one of the oldest cultivated plants. The plant produces large, flat, green pods containing seeds that are eaten fresh, dried, or cooked. Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, fava beans are a nutritious food source. They are used in various global cuisines, including Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. However, in individuals with favism, a genetic condition, consuming fava beans can trigger a serious reaction due to a deficiency in G6PD enzyme.
According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and the National Centre for Social Science Research (NatCen), the number of vegans in the United Kingdom quadrupled between 2014-2019, reaching 600,000 vegans (1.21% of the population).
Increasing demand for plant-based proteins
The rising consumer shift toward healthier and more sustainable diets is driving increased demand for plant-based proteins, significantly boosting the market. Known for their high protein content and nutritional value, fava beans are becoming a preferred ingredient in vegan and vegetarian products. As awareness of environmental concerns and food intolerances grows, food manufacturers are turning to fava beans as a versatile, allergen-friendly protein source. This trend is expected to continue fueling market growth across food and beverage sectors.
Agronomic challenges and climate sensitivity
Agronomic challenges and climate sensitivity significantly impact the market by reducing crop yields and quality. Unpredictable weather patterns, such as droughts, excessive rainfall, and temperature extremes, disrupt planting and harvesting schedules. Additionally, susceptibility to pests and diseases worsens under changing climates, increasing production costs. These factors create market instability, limit supply, and discourage farmer investment. As a result, prices become volatile, affecting profitability for producers and affordability for consumers, ultimately threatening the crop's long-term sustainability and availability.
Growing awareness of nutritional benefits
Growing awareness of the nutritional benefits of fava beans is significantly contributing to their rising popularity in the global market. Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, fava beans support heart health, digestion, and muscle development. Consumers are increasingly recognizing these health advantages, leading to greater demand across various food segments. Health-conscious individuals and those managing conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol are turning to fava beans as a nutritious, plant-based option, further driving their inclusion in everyday diets and food products.
Competition from other plant-based proteins
Competition from other plant-based proteins, such as soy, pea, and lentils, negatively impacts the market by limiting its market share and slowing demand growth. These alternatives often benefit from more established supply chains, consumer familiarity, and greater investment in product development. As a result, fava beans struggle to gain visibility and adoption in the plant-based protein sector. This competition reduces profitability for fava bean producers and processors, discouraging further innovation and expansion in the industry.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the global fava bean market by impacting production, supply chains, and labor availability. Lockdowns and transport restrictions led to delays in harvesting and exporting, particularly affecting major producers. Demand initially surged due to increased interest in shelf-stable, protein-rich foods, but market instability and price fluctuations followed. Foodservice closures reduced bulk orders, while retail sales rose. Overall, the pandemic highlighted the need for resilient supply chains and diversified markets in the fava bean industry.
The dried fava beans segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The dried fava beans segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period, due to growing awareness of their nutritional benefits, and increased adoption in vegan and vegetarian diets. Their long shelf life and affordability make them attractive for both consumers and retailers. Additionally, expanding use in processed foods, snacks, and meat alternatives boosts demand. Government support for sustainable farming and the crop's low environmental impact further contribute to the rising popularity of dried fava beans globally.
The food service segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the food service segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. Health-conscious consumers are increasingly seeking plant-based, protein-rich alternatives, making fava beans an attractive option. Their versatility allows chefs to incorporate them into a variety of dishes, from salads to stews, enhancing menu diversity. Additionally, the growing popularity of vegan and vegetarian diets has led to a surge in plant-based offerings in restaurants and food outlets. Fava beans' nutritional benefits and adaptability continue to drive their integration into food service menus globally.
During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share. Increasing health consciousness among consumers is leading to a higher demand for plant-based proteins, with fava beans being a rich source of protein and fiber. Countries like China and India are witnessing rising disposable incomes, enabling consumers to afford nutritious food options. Traditional use of fava beans in various Asian cuisines further supports their consumption. Additionally, government initiatives promoting sustainable agriculture and healthy eating habits are contributing to the market's expansion.
Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, owing to rising consumer demand for plant-based proteins, increasing health consciousness, and the growing popularity of vegan and vegetarian diets. Their high nutritional value, including fiber, protein, and essential minerals, supports their use in snacks, meat substitutes, and health foods. Additionally, the sustainable nature of fava bean cultivation, which enhances soil fertility, aligns with eco-friendly agricultural trends. Innovations in food processing and expanding ethnic cuisine influence also contribute to market growth.
Key players in the market
Some of the key players profiled in the Fava Bean Market include GrainCorp, Favalicious, Sunimpex, Prairie Fava Ltd., AGT Foods and Ingredients, Roquette Freres, Aazito, BI Nutraceuticals, Cargill, Incorporated, Alberta Pulse Growers, Wilmar International, Kerry Group, World Food Programme, Ebro Foods, ADM and Scoular Company.
