Vietnam leads the world in instant noodle consumption per capita.

According to new data released on October 9 by the World Instant Noodles Association (WINA), last year, Vietnam ranked first in the world in instant noodle consumption per capita.

Vietnamese instant noodles are sold in Japan.

Yonhap news agency (South Korea) cited data from WINA based in Osaka (Japan) that in 2024, Vietnamese people consumed 8.14 billion instant noodle packages. With a population of more than 100 million people, the average instant noodle consumption per capita in Vietnam in 2024 was 81 packages.

Second after Vietnam is South Korea. The total amount of instant noodles consumed last year in this country of 51.57 million people was 4.1 billion packets. Thus, the average instant noodle consumption per capita in South Korea is 79.2 packets.

Coming in third is Thailand with an average instant noodle consumption per capita of 57 packets, followed by Nepal with 54 packets and Indonesia at 52 packets. Japan and Malaysia both have an average instant noodle consumption per capita of 47 packets.

Per capita instant noodle consumption tends to be high in Asian countries with a traditional noodle-eating culture. In contrast, the figure remains below 10 packets in many European countries.
