Instant Noodles Price Trend for the First Half of 2023

Instant noodles have seen a striking rise in consumption over the past few years. The simple reason is their affordability. With the inflation shooting through the roof, the general commodity prices rose. From fruits, vegetables, and meat to flour, bread, etc., everything saw a rise in prices.

The adverse weather conditions hampered the agricultural yields, fuelling the price hike even more. Instant noodles also could not resist the price hike since the feedstock flour prices rose. And despite the price hikes, instant noodles were still one of the more affordable food options.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, given the demand scenario for Instant noodles, the prices are likely to rise even further in the coming months.

Instant Noodles Price Trend for the Second Half of 2022

The prices of instant noodles saw an uprising trend after a long period of stagnancy, especially in the Thai market. The Ukraine crisis, along with drought and floods in the region drove up the transport, energy, and wheat expense rates, which in turn resulted in the upward trajectory in the prices throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

The producers in some regions faced reduced profit margins due to high production costs and thus, were forced to increase the prices of instant noodles. The uprising price trend was also in order with the strong demand from the low-income households that employ instant noodles as a staple. Thus, the synergistic effect of high demand, strong supply, and increasing cost of production, the price trend for instant noodles significantly improved globally.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the prices of instant noodles are likely to increase in the upcoming quarter. As the global market is expected to showcase high demand and a rise in production costs will further drive the price trend for instant noodles.

Instant Noodles Price Trend For the First Half of 2022

According to the World Economic Forum, the prices of cereals ( wheat, barley, and other grains) have increased by 89% since September 2019. With Ukraine being a major supplier of wheat, the current geopolitical crisis has taken a toll on wheat prices globally. With floods in the major Chinese wheat-producing belt, wheat prices surged throughout the Asian market. The supply shortages amid the inflationary pricing caused wheat prices to rise by 30% in China, averaging 3200 RMB/MT.

The rising wheat prices caused the instant noodles companies to raise their prices to safeguard their profit margins. Nissin Foods, the originator of instant noodles, raised its prices after 11 years. The South Korean Shin Ramen registered a hike of 11%in their instant noodles’ prices. The ex-factory prices of Tingyu (prominent Chinese manufacturer) hiked the prices by 10% during the said period. Hence, the price trend for instant noodles soared globally owing to the high raw material costs, labour, and sourcing expenses.
