Analyst Opinion

The Pasta Market in Madagascar has seen minimal growth due to factors such as limited consumer awareness and lack of convenience in online services. Despite this, the Bread & Cereal Products Market within The Food market is experiencing steady growth.

Customer preferences:
Consumers in Madagascar are showing a growing preference for pasta dishes as they become more exposed to Western cuisine and lifestyles. This trend is driven by the younger generation, who are more open to trying new foods and experimenting with different flavors. Additionally, the rising health consciousness among consumers is leading to a demand for healthier and more nutritious pasta options, such as whole wheat or gluten-free pasta. This trend is also influenced by the increasing number of health-conscious expats and tourists in the country. Furthermore, the growing popularity of plant-based diets is driving the demand for pasta made from alternative ingredients such as chickpeas, lentils, and quinoa.

This trend is expected to continue, with potential implications for industry stakeholders such as increased competition and the need to adapt to changing consumer preferences.

Local special circumstances:
