Pasta Market - By Product Type (Dried Pasta, Chilled/Fresh Pasta, and Canned/Preserved Pasta), by Distribution Channels (B2B (Business to Business), and (B2C (Business to Consumer) (Hypermarket & Supermarkets, Departmental Stores & Convenience Stores, and Online Stores)), and By Region (North America, South America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028
The consumption of pasta is expected to boost during the forecast period, owing to increasing work population, which is expected to increase demand for processed food. For instance, according to the World Bank data, in 2015, the global female labor force accounted for 38.96% of the total labor force and reached 39.07% in 2017. Moreover, the global labor force was 3.35 billion in 2015 and reached 3.43 billion in 2017. This trend is expected to drive growth of the global pasta market over the forecast period.
However, pasta being a rich source of carbohydrates, excessive intake of pasta can lead to side effects such as increased blood sugar levels, and high risk for obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, which is expected to hamper growth of the global pasta market over the forecast period.
