Report Overview
The global lentil market volume reached around 12.60 MMT in 2024 due to the increasing demand for plant-based protein sources and the growing adoption of healthy diets. The shift towards eco-friendly food sources is also improving the market appeal of lentils, as they require fewer resources to cultivate compared to animal proteins. As a result, the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.60% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a volume of 34.51 MMT by 2034. The growing interest in ethnic cuisines that feature lentils as a staple ingredient is also expected to drive demand across various regions.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Canada maintained its position as the top lentil-growing country in 2022, producing approximately 2.3 million tonnes of lentils. This production level marked a significant increase of 43.3% compared to the previous year, largely attributed to improved yields and favourable growing conditions in regions like Saskatchewan, which accounted for about 85.4% of Canada's total lentil output. The surge in production reflects Canada’s critical role in the global lentil market, where it consistently contributes between 33% to 50% of worldwide lentil supply.
-
Looking ahead, India is projected to become the largest producer of lentils during the 2025-26 period. With a strong agricultural base and increasing domestic demand for pulses, India’s production capabilities are expected to surpass those of Canada, further solidifying its position in the global lentil market.
-
Nutritionally, lentils are highly valued for their protein content; 100 grams of cooked lentils contain approximately 9.02 grams of protein, making them a popular choice among health-conscious individuals, including gym-goers and bodybuilders. As consumers increasingly seek healthy food options, the demand for lentils is likely to continue rising.
Lentil Market Share
Market Insights by Production by Variety
Red lentils lead the lentil market share due to their quick cooking time and versatility in a range of dishes such as soups and purees. They are especially popular in areas like India, the Middle East, and North Africa, where they play a major role in traditional diets.
Green lentils are also gaining popularity due to their use in salads and as side dishes, especially in Europe and North America. In Germany, the UK, and Eastern Europe, lentils are consumed as healthy protein sources. As per industry reports, European market imports approximately 200,000 to 250,000 tons of lentils annually from North America and Turkey.
Market Insights by Demand by Mode of Transport
Sea transport holds the highest share of the market as it offers the most cost-effective way to transport large quantities of lentils over long distances, particularly for major exporting countries such as Canada, India, and Australia. Given the high volume of lentil exports, especially to regions such as South Asia and the Middle East, sea transport offers an economical solution and contributes to the growth of the lentil industry.
Land transport is crucial for distributing lentils within countries, especially in South Asia, where they are a staple food. In India, which is one of the largest producers of lentils, significant cultivation occurs in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar. In these regions, lentils are often transported via trucks to major trading centers such as Jabalpur and Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh, and Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh. The effective use of land transport is also essential for maintaining the supply chain, especially given the high domestic consumption rate of lentils in India, where approximately 90-95% of production is consumed locally.
