Pasta is one of the traditional Italian staples that is usually prepared from a dough of wheat flour mixed with water, oil, eggs or vegetables. It can be extruded into sheets or various shapes and sizes with the help of machines or can also be given a particular form by hand. It is then boiled in hot water and further cooked or baked with sauces, vegetables or meat. It consists of a high concentration of iron, minerals and vitamins which may or may not be artificially added by manufacturers. Pasta is widely preferred by consumers across the globe since it serves as a convenient cooking option. Some of the commonly found types of pasta based on their shape include macaroni, penne, spaghetti, ravioli, lasagna, fettuccine, vermicelli, tortellini, linguine and bowtie.
Globalization and increasing western influence have popularized Italian cuisines, amongst many others, in India which is primarily driving the growth of the market. In addition to this, hectic schedules, along with changing dietary preferences and inflating disposable income levels, has led to an increase in the demand for easy to cook and packaged food products in the country. Moreover, growing health consciousness among consumers has created a demand for healthy product variants which include pasta prepared from whole wheat, quinoa and gluten-free ingredients. Food service businesses are now offering a fusion of the Italian and Indian cuisines by preparing pasta with Indian spices so as to cater to a larger consumer base across the country. Furthermore, the proliferation of online retail stores is yet another factor driving the market growth. Attractive discounts, a wide variety of choices, and easy checkout gateways are some of the key benefits owing to which consumers are shifting toward online retailing systems.
