方便面 instant noodles

Both revenue and profits of China's food industry increased last year, among which the instant noodles sector regained momentum after industrial upgrade, accounting for nearly 40 percent of global sales, according to data released at China Instant Food Conference Press Conference.
中国方便食品大会新闻发布会上发布的数据显示，去年，我国食品行业的收入和利润均有所增加，其中，方便面行业在经过产业升级之后开始回暖，占全球销量的近40%。

【单词讲解】

Momentum这个词在经济类报道中很常见，一般表示发展的“势头、动力”，比如，maintain a sound momentum of development（保持良好发展势头），the momentum of multi-polarity（世界多极化势头），gain momentum（势头强劲），regain momentum（势头回暖）等。

Sales of instant noodles in China began to drop in 2013 and reached a low point of 38.5 billion units in 2016, data from the World Instant Noodles Association showed.
世界方便面协会的数据显示，中国的方便面销量从2013年开始下滑，在2016年达到385亿包的低点。

对于方便面市场低迷，有分析认为，因为外卖（food delivery service）的出现，尤其是初期外卖补贴较多（generous subsidy），点外卖比较便宜，这导致方便面消费出现寒冬。

推陈出新迎合新消费群体

Food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng said growth in the instant noodle market picked up in the fourth quarter of 2016 as enterprises increased efforts to woo younger consumers.
中国食品产业分析师朱丹蓬表示，2016年的第四季度，方便面市场进入了回暖的节点，生产企业加大力度迎合年轻消费群体。

Many companies are putting more resources in improving taste, cooking methods and nutritional function, with an eye on consumers who look for quality lifestyles.
很多企业都在提升口感、烹饪方式以及营养方面投入更多资源，把眼光投向注重生活品质的消费者。

统一企业年报显示，去年的方便面收入为84亿元，增长5.7%。其中高端品牌“汤达人”的收入占3到4成。
