After suffering through the dark days of the low—carb craze, the market for Italian foods appears on the verge of a rebound. Although consistently ranked as an ethnic food favorite, Italian products, such as pasta and sauce, lost sales ground as people eschewed carbohydrate-laden foods and their associates.

But the market is changing thanks to a more refined approached to dieting, an understanding of “good carbs,” and a heightened awareness of the importance of whole grain. With a focus on the pasta, pizza, sauce, and cheese segments, the U.S. Market for Italian Foods looks at innovations in the marketplace for what is, essentially, a mature and stable industry and examines the steps marketers are taking to respond to changing dietary guidelines and consumer trends. The report also discusses trends among niche marketers to return to authenticity and put the “Italian” back into Italian food products.
