Earlier Report Observations

The Danish pasta and couscous market experienced a period of expansion from 2018 to 2024, with overall volume growing from 38 838 t to 44 407 t and market value increasing from $75.8 million to $95.3 million. This growth was not linear, as the market saw peaks and troughs throughout the period.

After rising consistently in 2019 and 2020, the market volume contracted in 2021 before stabilizing and then recovering by 2024. In value terms, a similar pattern emerged, with a peak in 2020 followed by a slight decline and subsequent rebound.

A notable development was the sharp rise in domestic production, which more than tripled from 4 640 t to 17 491 t, alongside a growing export volume. However, imports remained the primary source of supply for the Danish market throughout these years.
