In the plant-based and vegan industry, rice noodles are essential in creating hearty, satisfying meals that do not rely on meat or dairy for substance or flavour. Their compatibility with legumes, fermented foods, nuts, and spices makes them a preferred choice in high-protein vegan meal planning. From street food to high-end gastronomy, rice noodles support an expansive range of uses. Noodle rolls, soups, grilled noodle patties, noodle spring rolls, and even dessert noodle puddings are entering mainstream recipe books and menus.
Three major trends currently define the trajectory of the market. Modern consumers, especially millennials and Gen Z, are scrutinizing ingredient lists like never before. This generation of buyers leans toward products perceived as clean-label, non-GMO, and nutritionally balanced. Rice noodles align well with this shift, offering a gluten-free option that’s also low in cholesterol, easily digestible, and low in fat. Brands have responded by developing organic, fortified, and brown rice noodle variants that offer added nutritional value.
The market is witnessing robust growth, propelled by shifting consumer lifestyles, growing demand for healthy and gluten-free foods, and expanding diverse culinary experiences across regions. The rapidly growing e-commerce sector in Brazil is emerging as a transformative force in the food and beverage landscape. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), Brazil’s e-commerce sales are expected to grow by 14.3%, surpassing US$200 billion by 2026. Furthermore, the rising foodservice sector in Saudi Arabia is pivotal in boosting the market. The United Arab Emirates, recognized as the second largest foodservice sector in the GCC after Saudi Arabia, experienced a 17% increase in its hotel, restaurant, and institutional sector in 2021, highlighting a broader regional trend. Also, a different yet equally powerful driver is at play in South Africa—the rising health consciousness among consumers. South Africans increasingly gravitate toward healthier dietary options, driven by concerns over lifestyle diseases, wellness awareness, and global food trends. Hence, the market is thriving due to diverse regional drivers—Brazil’s e-commerce growth, Saudi Arabia’s expanding foodservice sector, and South Africa’s rising health awareness—all highlighting the global demand for this versatile and nutritious product.
