Pasta has long been a budget-friendly staple in many US households, but over the past year as inflation has continued to creep up and consumer sentiment down, sales of spaghetti, penne and the plethora of other pasta have ticked up – fueled in part by a nearly 11% bump in social conversations and 36% increase on restaurant menus in the past year, according to Tastewise.

Statista estimates pasta sales in the US will reach about $9.73 billion in 2025, which is about 5.2% higher than in 2024, and predicts the market will grow even faster in the coming years at a compound annual growth rate of 7.96% through 2030. This estimate may be on the low end, with imarc predicting the US pasta market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.3% through 2033 albeit off a smaller estimated base of $6.2 billion.
