On the occasion of World Pasta Day 2021 (October 25), Unione Italiana Food (an association of Italian food industries) and IPO (International Pasta Organization) released the most recent data on the global market trend. Last year was characterized by a real boom for pasta consumption all over the world.

The consumption normalization that is characterizing 2021 shows a liking for this typical Italian food that is even higher than before the Covid pandemic. The drop in sales that seems to characterize 2021 does not undermine the pasta consumption trend which doubled in the last 10 years (2010-2020), rising from almost 9 to about 17 million tons per year (one more than in 2019).
