namely instant noodles, instant pasta, instant
soup and ready-to-mix. With the rapidly changing
lifestyles over the last couple of decades,
instant food brands have become almost
indispensable in the urban kitchens, as such

being easy on the palate, and also because they
are greatly relished by children. According to

the total market for ready-to-cook is growing
with a CAGR of 19.60 from last five years. The
instant noodles market in India was growing at a
healthy rate from last few years but Maggi MSG

grab a larger share of the instant noodles
market. Indo Nissin, Capital Foods and Hindustan
Unilever, along with some private labels, have
just added to the competition. Instant noodles
market in India is divided into two categories
according to the packaging style viz.

The instant pasta market in India is at the kind
of stage that the instant noodles market was
years ago. The instant pasta category will be a
roaring success with the opening up of a number
of Italian restaurants in the country. Nestles
Maggi Pazzta, Bambino Agro, ITCs Sunfeast Pasta
Treat, HUL's Knorr soupy pasta offerings, Future
Group's Tasty Treat and Feasters from retailers
such as Aditya Birla Retail are some of the major
players betting big on this category. Whereas the
instant soup market is more consolidated and top
three players namely Hindustan Unilivers Knorr,
Nestles Maggi and Capital Foods Chings Secret
are playing significant roles in enlarging the
category. Majority of the instant pasta and soup
sales comes from retail formats as this packaged
food is still not a part of shopping list for
Indian housewives. On the other hand, sales from
traditional and online stores are still very
limited.Ready-to-mix is a small category as
compared to instant noodles but is growing
robustly. The RTM market is consists of four
segments viz. snacks mix, curry mix, dessert mix
and others (rice meals). On the other hand,
curry mix is anticipated to register highest
growth in the forecast period.
