In 2024, El Salvador continued to rely heavily on carob powder imports, with top suppliers being Nigeria, Costa Rica, Mexico, Guatemala, and the USA. The high concentration of the market, as indicated by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained stable. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.91% from 2020-24, there was a slight decline in the growth rate from 2023-24 at -12.74%. This suggests that while the market is still growing steadily, there may have been some recent challenges or fluctuations impacting the import of carob powder in El Salvador.

Additionally, carob powder is widely used in the food industry as a thickener, sweetener, and flavor enhancer. As more El Salvadoran producers tap into the global market for natural food ingredients, the carob powder market is expected to grow.
The carob powder market in El Salvador is driven by a rising preference for healthier, plant-based food products. Carob powder, known for being a caffeine-free and low-fat alternative to cocoa, is gaining popularity in the local food and beverage industry. Health-conscious consumers are increasingly turning to carob as a natural sweetener and as an ingredient in dairy-free and gluten-free foods. The demand for vegan and allergen-free food products in the region is also contributing to the growth of the market.
The carob powder market in El Salvador is limited by low local demand, high production costs, and competition from other natural sweeteners.
