Pasta Product Manufacturing in Germany Industry Data and Analysis

MK
Melanie Katz
Analyst Frankfurt, Germany August 2025

The companies active in pasta production primarily produce pasta products and couscous. On average, their turnover has fallen by 0.2% per year since 2020, although it has fluctuated considerably from year to year during this period due to volatile raw material prices and changing consumer preferences. In the current year, sales are expected to grow by 2% to 670.1 million euros. Due to the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the temporary closure of catering establishments, consumers bought more pasta in supermarkets and discounters in 2020 and 2021, as it has a long shelf life and is easy to prepare. This ensured that industry sales were particularly high in 2020. The profit margin was also at a high level in 2020 and 2021. In the years that followed, sales of pasta returned to normal, although price increases prevented sales from falling too sharply, while the profit margin declined more significantly due to high material and labour costs.In the context of diets and dietary changes, more and more consumers are giving up foods such as pasta that contain wheat. While this trend is having a negative impact on sales of conventional pasta, the increasing demand for pasta products without gluten or made from pulses is leading to product innovations within the industry. Nevertheless, durum wheat semolina remains the main input factor for industry players. If the price of durum wheat rises due to weather-related crop failures, for example, pasta manufacturers' material costs also increase, which can have a negative impact on profit margins if the players are unable to pass on the cost increases to their customers through higher product prices. Eggs are another important ingredient for pasta products from Germany. Scandals surrounding animal husbandry or the detection of insecticides in eggs from farms that supply pasta manufacturers have had a negative impact on demand for pasta containing eggs in recent years. This, coupled with higher consumer prices for pasta, has increased competition from cheaper pasta products from Italy and other countries.Over the next five years, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to grow by an average of 0.6% per year, reaching €689.4 million in 2030. In view of market saturation and strong competition from Italian pasta manufacturers, the number of pasta manufacturers is likely to decline slightly in the coming years.
