The global pasta market was valued at USD 26.53 Billion in 2025. The growing inclusion of pasta in plant-based meal kits by foodservice operators and retailers is expanding its B2B relevance, especially as demand for quick, flexitarian-friendly meals continues to gain traction. In turn, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.34% during the forecast period of 2026-2035 to reach a value of USD 36.85 Billion by 2035.
Growth in the market is also led by rising demand for high-protein, gluten-free, and clean-label alternatives. The market is projected to grow steadily as plant-based ingredients disrupt traditional formulations in the coming years. As per industry reports, in 2023, 6.2 million tonnes of pasta were produced in the European countries, worth EUR 8.9 billion. While the volume was comparable with 2022 (6.1 million tonnes), there was an increase of EUR 1.1 billion in terms of value.
Italy has continued to be the key hub of the global market. According to the pasta market analysis, about 23.5 kg of pasta is consumed by an average Italian per year. Hence, with the growing demand for diverse and innovative pasta across the globe, Italian pasta manufacturers are adopting gluten-free, organic, leguminous, ancient grains, superfoods, and fortified ingredients to improve the nutrition profile of pasta. Further, the United Kingdom’s import substitution strategies are giving rise to domestic pasta brands using British-grown durum wheat.
Moreover, the shift from commodity to curated cuisine has become particularly strong in foodservice and hospitality. Premiumisation, especially within chilled and fresh variants, has resulted in heavy demand in the pasta market, with major chains adopting small-batch, heritage grain pastas to appeal to health-conscious diners. While economic fluctuations pose threats, innovation remains the main focus of the global players.

Forecast Period
In 2022, about 6.1 million tons of pasta were produced in the EU.
Italy produces about 3.5 million tons of pasta per annum.
With the rise in gluten intolerance and celiac disease, gluten-free pasta made from alternative grains like quinoa, rice, or corn has become popular.
The pasta market players are increasingly focusing on sustainability, premiumisation, and R&D-led differentiation. Automation, eco-packaging, and functional innovation are key areas of focus for the market players. Co-manufacturing, private labelling, and custom formulations for health institutions and gourmet restaurants present ample opportunities for growth. Trends like clean labels, smart manufacturing, plant-based options, sustainable packaging, and fortified pasta are redefining the landscape.
Furthermore, pasta companies are targeting ESG goals via regenerative sourcing and traceability technology. Players are also capitalising on government incentives, like EU’s Horizon grants, to support innovation. Retailer collaborations, subscription models, and vertical integration into farming or packaging have emerged as strategic levers. In addition, blockchain for supply chain transparency, AI-based flavour profiling, and biodegradable pasta wrappers are gaining traction. Firms are also piloting zero-waste production lines, while others explore insect-protein or seaweed-infused pasta formats to meet shifting health and sustainability demands across retail and foodservice.
