Market Report I 2023-01-23 I 150 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The South American pasta and noodles market is projected to register a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the market. This was because consumers were locked in their homes, due to which the consumption of ready-to-eat products drastically increased. Pasta's extended shelf life made it a popular choice for consumers looking to stockpile when stay-at-home orders lingered longer than a few weeks. According to the annual report of Barilla America Inc., America's largest producer of spaghetti/macaroni/pasta, sales accounted for USD 644 million in 2020, up 3.2% from 2019.
With the rising work culture, consumers are moving toward foods that can be consumed with convenience and require lesser time to prepare. For instance, in Argentina, the total labor force accounted for 20.9 million in 2021, while in 2020, it was 19.2 million. The urbanized population, due to their hectic schedules and higher discretionary spending, drives the market for pasta and noodles. The availability, accessibility, affordability, and flexibility associated with the consumption of pasta and noodles further drive the market's growth.
Packet noodles are the most common type of noodles that are consumed worldwide. It comes with reasonable pricing and is easy to prepare. Further, packet noodles are convenient to carry and are cheaper when purchased in high volumes. This makes its purchase profitable for users like cafes, canteens, families, and others. Also, these noodles are preferred during gatherings, birthdays, and other occasions. Thus, the demand for noodles is rising and driving the market.
South America Pasta & Noodles Market Trends
Increasing Demand for Organic or "Free-from" Pasta and Noodles
The increase in demand for gluten-free, clean-label products has boosted the marketplace for gluten-free pasta and noodles. It has been stated that a majority of consumers are choosing the "free-from" idea to include a balanced lifestyle. Millions of people in South America have commenced ingesting gluten-free products not only because of celiac disease but also due to a trendy notion of retaining or maintaining good health. Thus, companies involved in pasta and noodles production have taken initiatives to invest in the development of native technologies in order to gain consumers' attention. For instance, in June 2021, Argentina's National University of Patagonia San Juan Bosco, after obtaining financing of USD 740,000, developed noodles made of algae that shall taste like squid. These are noodles with a 30% substitution of wheat flour for algae, which achieves the manufacture of "pasta" with 14% fewer calories, 16% fewer lipids, 23% fewer carbohydrates, 65% more minerals, 12% more proteins, and 158% more fiber than traditional ones.
Consumption of packaged meals amongst millennials and Gen-Zs in South America is one of the key elements facilitating the boom of gluten-free pasta. With the developing fitness consciousness, the demand for food products with nutritional benefits is increasing, which is propelling the growth of gluten-free pasta in South America.
