Consumer preferences in the Pasta Market of the Bread & Cereal Products Market within The Food market in Romania have seen a shift towards healthier and more sustainable options. With an increasing focus on healthy eating and environmental sustainability, there is a growing demand for whole grain and plant-based pasta options. This trend is driven by cultural preferences for fresh and natural ingredients, as well as the influence of health and wellness trends in the country. Additionally, as more individuals are adopting vegetarian and vegan diets, there is a rising demand for pasta made from alternative ingredients such as lentils, chickpeas, and quinoa.

Additionally, the rise of e-commerce and online grocery shopping is providing a platform for smaller, niche pasta brands to enter the market and compete with larger players.
