1. Development History
The development process of China's noodle industry is mainly divided into three stages: the era of single machines, the transition from single machines to fully automated production lines, and the advancement of automation to informatization. At the beginning of the 20th century, the noodle industry was in its infancy, producing traditional noodles in manual and electric forms; In the 1990s, noodles were produced mechanically, but the product quality was unstable; Subsequently, after introducing the low-temperature cableway drying system from Japan, the production efficiency and quality of dried noodles were greatly improved. After 2010, with the continuous improvement of noodle production equipment, the process technology gradually matured and fully automated production of noodle products was achieved. In 2020, hanging noodles enterprises will carry out the strategic Digital transformation stage, and make comprehensive progress towards informatization; On the one hand, it effectively reduces costs and increases efficiency, and on the other hand, it lays out multiple categories, and the noodle industry has entered a relatively mature period.

2. Yield
China is the world's largest producer of noodles. From 2017 to 2020, the domestic production of noodles steadily increased from 7.81 million tons to 8.88 million tons, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.4%. The growth rate of domestic noodle production continued to slow down from 2017 to 2019, but in 2020, benefiting from the epidemic, the growth rate of noodle production increased to 5.8%. Against the backdrop of the normalization of the epidemic, the market for noodle production and demand is gradually saturated, resulting in overcapacity. In 2021, the industry reduced noodle production to 7.11 million tons, an increase of -19.9% year-on-year.

3. Consumption
Similarly, China is also a major consumer of noodles, with a broad consumer base. According to data, the weekly consumption frequency of noodles in China is mainly within 2 times, accounting for up to 80%. In this situation, the noodle market has considerable consumption capacity.
Compared to staple foods such as rice and flour, hanging noodles are more convenient to make and purchased more frequently than general fast moving consumer goods, making them a mid frequency repeat purchase product. Consumers consume more noodles in the morning and evening, and prefer the taste and cost-effectiveness of noodles.

4. Enterprise
In the early stages of the development of the noodle industry, the market entry threshold was low, and the homogenization of enterprises was severe and numerous. In 2009, the number of domestic noodle enterprises reached 4000. With the increasingly fierce competition in the industry reaching a white-hot stage, small and medium-sized enterprises without obvious brand, channel, and cost advantages are gradually being eliminated from the market. In 2017, the number of listed enterprises sharply decreased to 900, and in 2020, the number of enterprises further decreased to about 300.
