3 Jun 2019 California; The global gluten-free products market size is projected to reach USD 32.39 billion by 2025 expanding at a CAGR of 9.1%, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising cases of lifestyle-related diseases has favored the market growth. Increasing instances of chronic and non-communicable diseases leading to disability or death have also bolstered the demand for gluten-free products. Furthermore, major focus of manufacturers on various parameters including production of foods with less saturated fat coupled with efficient labelling solutions has driven the demand for gluten-free products.
Another important factor favoring market growth is the increasing incidences of Irresistible Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and celiac diseases. U.S. is one of the major consumers of gluten-free products because, on an average, one of every 133 people suffer from celiac disease, and 1 in 56 experience similar symptoms. In addition, majority of the patients are misdiagnosed for the disease, which is causing the development of such disorders faster. This is likely to drive the demand for the gluten-free products in the country. However, the market growth is restrained by various factors, such as the lack of awareness about the celiac disease.
North America was the dominant consumer market in 2018 and held a share of 53.0% of the overall market. The region is home to major food brands and companies with extensive distribution networks that provide a wide array of commodities. Moreover, rising awareness about the health benefits of gluten-free eatables is likely to boost the market growth. Favorable regulatory framework and initiatives to promote a gluten-free diet by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and subsidy allocations are anticipated to boost the market in North America over the forecast period.
