Market Overview

The growing prevalence of celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity has driven the increasing demand for gluten-free alternatives worldwide. Additionally, consumers' rising health consciousness and dietary restrictions are pushing key players in the food industry to develop innovative gluten-free products, further boosting market opportunities. Gluten-free food products, such as bakery items, snacks, and cereals, have gained popularity, as more people opt for gluten-free lifestyles either due to medical reasons or lifestyle choices.

The gluten-free products market encompasses a broad range of food items, including bread, pasta, cereals, confectionery, meat, dairy, and beverages, all free from gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten-free substitutes often utilize ingredients like rice flour, almond flour, and coconut flour to replace traditional flour in food products.
