The Philippines saw a significant increase in yellow pea flour import shipments in 2024, with top exporting countries being China, UK, Taiwan, USA, and Peru. The market remained highly concentrated, indicating strong competition among key players. The impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.3% from 2020 to 2024 reflects the growing demand for yellow pea flour in the Philippines. Additionally, the notable growth rate of 24.8% from 2023 to 2024 suggests a rapid expansion in the market, presenting opportunities for both domestic and international suppliers.

Yellow pea flour is slowly entering the Philippine market as an alternative protein and gluten-free ingredient. Driven by demand for plant-based foods and health-conscious baking, the flour is gaining attention in urban health food circles. It is used in snacks, protein bars, and bakery products. Imports from North America and Europe dominate supply, with potential for local cultivation of yellow peas to reduce costs and promote domestic production.
Yellow pea flour is gradually gaining traction in the Philippines as a gluten-free, high-protein ingredient for health-conscious consumers and the food manufacturing industry. Its use in bakery, snacks, and meat alternatives aligns with the increasing demand for plant-based and allergen-friendly products. Market growth is supported by awareness of nutritional benefits and the rise of flexitarian diets, though it remains a niche product with room for broader adoption.
The yellow pea flour market in the Philippines is constrained by limited local processing capabilities and a dependency on imported raw materials. While demand for plant-based protein is rising, awareness of yellow pea flours nutritional benefits remains low. Price sensitivity among consumers, combined with stiff competition from more established flours like wheat and rice, hinders widespread adoption. Technical challenges related to texture and taste in food applications also affect product development.
As plant-based protein sources gain popularity, yellow pea flour presents promising investment opportunities in the food processing and health food sectors. Local production and value-added product development, such as gluten-free and high-protein baked goods, can tap into consumer trends favoring sustainable and nutritious ingredients.
The Department of Agriculture supports alternative and nutritious food ingredients like yellow pea flour under food security and nutrition programs. Policies encourage local production and processing to reduce dependence on imports. Food safety regulations by the FDA ensure quality standards for these products in domestic and export markets.
