Noodles consumption is rising globally due to changing consumer preferences towards fast food. Internet shopping also witnessed rapid growth, which benefited the consumption of noodles worldwide.
  • Russia's invasion of Ukraine has badly impacted the market for noodles. The war has increased the cost of raw commodities like oat, rice and wheat, which are the key constituents. This is creating a major problem for manufacturers globally.

Key Takeaways:

Dominance of the Asia-Pacific Region

According to the Noodles market forecast, Asia-Pacific held the largest share with 39% of the overall market in 2022. It is also poised to dominate the market over the period 2023-2030. This is because of the rising inclination towards regional flavored, convenience food among the working class and increasing urbanization in this region.

Growing Demand for Less-time Consuming Ready-to-eat Food

Introduction of Healthy Vegan Noodles to Drive the Market

The introduction of vegan noodles would efficiently attract vegan consumers worldwide, which significantly contributed to market growth.

Spread of K-pop Culture to drive Noodles Market

In recent years, a great influence of Korean culture through K-pop, K-dramas and Korean cuisine has been observed globally which is positively impacting noodles market opportunities.

Most of South Korea’s Instant noodles are exported to the U.S., Vietnam & India and South Korea is the largest exporter of Instant noodles in the World.

Health Concerns due to Regular Consumption to Hamper the Market Growth

In October 2022, News18 stated that the consumption of instant noodles on a daily basis could badly impact health. They are rich in carbohydrates, fat and sodium content which can lead to a high risk of heart disease and strokes.
