Product Synopsis

This report provides the results for the Pasta & Noodles market in Russia from Canadean's unique, highly detailed study of consumers' Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) consumption habits, and forms part of an overall series covering all CPG product markets. Its coverage includes, but is not limited to, consumption behaviors, the extent to which consumer trends influence their consumption, the value of the market these trends influence, and brand and private label choices as well as retailer choices in organized retail market.

Introduction and Landscape

Why was the report written?
Marketers in the Pasta & Noodles market face a major challenge. Understanding market size and segmentation is valuable, but the key to effective targeting is knowing just how valuable specific consumer groups are, and being able to quantify the impact of consumer trends. This data report solves these problems by providing survey-based data on consumer trends and consumer groups, and market data that shows the exact size of consumer groups, how much of the Pasta & Noodles market they account for, and which consumer trends drive their behavior.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
In many categories higher frequencies of consumption are seen amongst younger consumers, with these rates then falling back in early adult years. This represents a key challenge to marketers, as this is a stage where volume sales are potentially being lost, retarding overall growth in the market.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Consumers' uptake of products and the influence of consumer trends are fundamental causes of change in markets – making knowing what these trends are and the extent of their influence crucial. The survey-based data provided in this report examines over 20 consumer trends that affect the market and examines the share of consumption across 26 consumer groups. This data provides a detailed insight into exactly who the consumer is and just how much impact the latest consumer trends are having.

What makes this report unique and essential to read?
The data provided is unique in the market as it tracks consumer behavior through to its actual value impact on a product market. This provides readers with a unique data analysis of the market, allowing marketing tactics and strategy to be updated in line with the very latest consumer behaviors.

Key Features and Benefits

Consumer data, based upon proprietary surveys and then consumer group tracking and modeling for the following specific categories: Ambient Noodles, Ambient Pasta, Chilled Noodles, Chilled Pasta, Dried Noodles, and Dried Pasta.

Detailed consumer segmentation covering over 26 consumer groups, 20 consumer trends, and consumption frequency for each product category.

Consumer penetration for brands and private labels, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.

Unique organized retailer choice data at the product category level, based upon the original survey and then subsequent consumer tracking and modeling.

Key Market Issues

While younger consumers might consume Pasta & Noodles more frequently, sheer demographics and the size of the older consumer audience means that those over the age of 55 account for the largest share of the market. Marketers will therefore need to assess which consumer groups to target, and how, in order to best position their products.

The Pasta & Noodles market in Russia is dominated by the Dried Pasta category, which accounts for over 70% of total sales by value. While growth potential exists in other categories, overall fortunes of the market will be driven by this category over the next few years.

Overall, a very large share of Russians see the "Personal space and time" trend as affecting their decision on whether to consume Pasta and Noodles. In this context, this highlights that pasta is something of a comfort food for many in Russia.

Key Highlights

The total Pasta & Noodles market is worth over US$2billion and within this Dried Pasta is easily the leading category. Most noodle markets are fairly small by comparison and for those seeking to develop scale, competition within the key categories is likely to be intense.

While Russians don't always act on the consumer trends they state affect their consumption, these trends are having a real impact on the market. Overall, several trends are having an impact and marketers need to be aware of which trends, in which categories, offer addressable targets to aim at.

In the most important category in terms of total sales Private Label products have not achieved significant consumer penetration, although they have gained something of a foothold in the market. In the smaller categories Private Labels have been more successful. Branded manufacturers should therefore act now to maintain their positions and prevent further penetration loss to Private Labels in the future.
