Growth Factors in the Carob Powder Industry:

• Increasing Demand for Organic and Natural Products

The carob powder market is witnessing substantial growth, driven by escalating consumer demand for natural and organic products. As consumers become increasingly health-conscious and fitness-focused, they are actively seeking alternatives to traditional cocoa powder and conventional sweeteners. These alternatives are often free from caffeine and artificial additives, aligning with the clean-label movement that prioritizes transparency and natural ingredients in food products. This shift in consumer preference is further fueled by growing awareness of the potential health benefits of carob powder, such as its rich antioxidant properties and high fiber content. According to a report review published in June 2023, carob is considered to be anti-cancerous, anti-diabetic, and anti-bacterial. Additionally, it is a rich source of dietary fiber, comprising 27% to 50% of its composition.

• Rising Adoption of Plant-based and Vegan Diets

The expansion of plant-based and vegan diets substantially enhances the carob powder market value as it is a plant-derived product that is rapidly being favored by consumers that adhere to such diets. The versatility of carob powder in culinary sector, from beverages to baking, increases its popularity in vegan recipes. The elevating number of consumers adopting vegan lifestyles for ethical, environmental, and health purposes bolsters the requirement for carob powder. According to market data, consumers with plant-based diets account for 75% less in greenhouse gas emissions than individuals who consume 3.5 ounces of meat a day. This trend is further aided by food manufacturers developing and innovating new plant-based food products blending carob powder as a chief ingredient.

• Significant Advancements in Carob Processing Technology

Advancements in carob processing technology are propelling the market forward. Modern techniques leveraged for powder processing improve the flavor, shelf-life, and quality, making it a more attractive option for both consumers and manufacturers. Innovations in milling, roasting, and extraction processes facilitate the production of premium carob powder with enhanced texture and taste. Sustainable processing techniques align with the rising environmental issues, further encouraging the adoption of carob powder. According to ClimateSeed, an impact-driven company, food production is responsible for 26% of total greenhouse emissions globally. Technological advancements also elevate production efficacy, lowering costs and emissions, and broadening market accessibility. For instance, the company Pedro Perez Martinez S.L.U uses high-tech grinding equipment Zirkoplex ZPS that meticulously selects pre-milled and sieved carob pods, and carries out micronisation, giving out end-product with 97% of the fineness.
