The market is projected to grow from USD 75.50 billion in 2025 to USD 108.67 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.34% during the forecast period. Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled “Pasta Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Dried, Chilled, and Canned), By Raw Material (Wheat and Gluten-free), By Distribution Channel (Supermarkets/Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Online Retail, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

Pasta, a versatile and convenient food, is widely consumed in developed and emerging markets. Its nutritional value and ease of preparation make it a popular choice among younger consumers. Additionally, the growing cheese trend, particularly among millennials, is fueling demand for white sauce pasta.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in pasta demand as lockdowns forced consumers to rely on home-cooked meals. According to the International Pasta Organization (IPO), global pasta consumption exceeded 17 million tons in 2020, driven by panic buying. However, production faced challenges due to labor shortages, freight cost hikes, and supply chain disruptions.

In February 2023, Nuovo Pasta Productions, Ltd. unveiled a new plant-based product line at “Natural Products Expo West 2023”. The launch includes a ravioli collection and fresh organic pasta featuring dairy-free ravioli to cater to the rising demand for sustainable food choices.

Rising Demand for Convenience Foods to Drive Market Growth

Market growth is propelled by the rising demand for convenient food options among busy professionals, millennials, and single-person households. Its quick preparation time makes it a preferred choice for those with hectic lifestyles. The COVID-19 pandemic further boosted demand, as panic buying in countries such as Italy, France, Germany, and the U.S. increased the consumption of ready-to-eat and shelf-stable foods.

However, rising energy costs, transportation delays, and external disruptions such as COVID-19 hinder the pasta market growth.
