Market Outlook

The global carob market size is expected to rocket over the forecast period owing to the use of carob bean gum in stabilizers and thickeners. Need for chocolate substitutes among the general populace due to alarming levels of obesity, diabetes, and other lifestyle diseases can warrant the market demand. The use of carob in chocolate-free recipes as well as the support from the burgeoning food sector can push the market to new heights.

The use of carob pods in animal feeds to encourage the growth of farm animals can fuel the market growth. Rise of veganism and the inclusion of carob powder for the production of chocolate-free cakes and confectionery can support the rise of the global carob market. Its high-fiber and low-caffeine content has made it a favorite for food manufacturers looking to expand into alternative food sectors. The lactose-free ingredient can be used in various food items and appeal to a wider audience looking for modern tastes.

But limited availability of carob trees and skyrocketing costs of harvests can impede the market growth.

Segmentation

The global carob market has been segmented based on category, form, application, and region.

By category, the global carob market has been divided into conventional and organic. The conventional segment has gained a major market share but may lose its position to the organic segment. On the other hand, the organic segment is likely to exhibit a strong growth rate in the coming years due to its use as an energy supplying feed to livestock animals and pets.

On the basis of form, the global carob market has been divided into powder, gum, and others. The gum segment is expected to be the topmost segment during the forecast period due to its use as a substitute for guar-guar gum. The carob bean gum, also known as locust bean gum, has various health benefits and can aid in the treatment of heart disease, colon cancer, and diabetes. But the powdered segment can gain in speed in the coming years due to the growing bakery industry and emergence of various bakeries experimenting with new fruits and flavors to appeal to an audience with modern tastes.
