2022

2025

  • Export Price: Estimated at $2.20–$2.30 per kg, assuming modest inflation and stable export volumes.

  • Import Price: Projected at $2.15–$2.25 per kg early in the year, with potential to reach $3.90 per kg by mid-year if trends continue (IndexBox forecast).

  • Retail Price Range: Wholesale prices are $1.33–$2.00 per kg (Selina Wamucii), suggesting retail prices of $3.20–$4.80 per kg. Statista projects a market volume of $9,208 million, implying $3.50–$5.00 per kg.

  • Context: The U.S. pasta market is expected to grow at a 7.36% CAGR (Statista), reaching $13.18 billion by 2029. Early 2025 prices reflect inflation and demand for specialty pasta, with a 3.9% volume growth forecast.

Observations

  • Trend: Pasta prices rose from 2020 to 2022 due to supply chain issues and wheat cost spikes, peaking in 2022. Prices stabilized in 2023–2024 but trended upward again in 2025 due to inflation and premium demand.

  • Variability: Retail prices exceed export/import due to branding and distribution costs. Regional differences and specialty products (e.g., gluten-free) widen the range.

  • 2025 Outlook: With only two months of data, prices are on track to increase modestly, potentially hitting $4.00–$5.00 per kg by year-end if the 0.5% CAGR (2020–2025) holds, per Statista.
