RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This study involved two major approaches in estimating the current size of the pea protein market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the type, application, nature, and processing method segments of the market. The next step involved validating these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, data triangulation was used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
