Market Overview:

The carob is a blooming evergreen tree belonging to the Fabaceae family of legumes. For its delicious pods and as an attractive plant, it is frequently grown in gardens and landscapes. The Mediterranean and Middle Eastern areas are home to the carob plant. Carob powder, frequently used as an alternative to cocoa powder, is occasionally made from the mature, dried, and frequently roasted pod. Carob bars, carob chips, and carob snacks are frequently sold in health food stores as substitutes for chocolate bars, chocolate chips, and other sweets.

Due to its high calcium, fibre, and protein content and a consequent array of health advantages, carob powder has grown tremendously in popularity among consumers. It does not require adding sugar because it is vegan, gluten-free, caffeine-free, and naturally sweet. Due to its high fibre content, lack of fat, and low cholesterol, carob is rapidly gaining appeal among customers who are health aware. The coronavirus epidemic has had significant effects across all economic sectors. The epidemic has caused medical emergencies worldwide, which has increased the demand for food items, hygiene goods, and medicinal supplies.

The pandemic has increased the need for frozen non-vegetarian food, fruits and vegetables, eggs, pulses, wheat, and whole grains.

Carob market size is expected to grow at a CAGR rate of 4.55% and reach USD 676.89 million in the forecast period from 2021 to 2028.
