According to Transpire Insight, Instant pasta and noodles occupy the top spot within the category due to convenience, price and long storage life, which can cater to consumers living an increasingly urbanized lifestyle. Rapid urbanization, especially due to an increase in double-income families, has contributed to an increase in demand for these types of quick food solutions worldwide. Strong performance is also observed within Asia, particularly China, India, and other SEA countries, providing an indication that volume increases drive demand for these types of products.

Wheat-based products hold the greatest share in the ingredient segment owing to established consumer behavior, price efficiency, and ease of manufacturing processes related to wheat-based products.

The power of wheat-based products stems largely from its price efficiency, long product life, and established consumer behavior.

The innovative aspects of incorporating whole grain, protein, and enhanced versions of wheat-based product lines further enhance the strength of Wheat’s market shares.

These businesses have also managed to gain absolute leadership, and this competition is witnessed, especially in developed countries like North America and Europe, because the level of penetration is already achieved in these countries.

The channel ensures premium performances for both instant and packaged pasta products, together with an ability for manufacturers to continually test premium, health-oriented, and value packs. Supermarkets and hypermarkets enable effective logistics and bulk-buying, making it easier for companies to keep prices and stock under control. Ongoing investments within modern retail development within emerging regions will keep drivers strong, contributing heavily to market volumes.
