logoMarket Overview

Foods that are devoid of gluten are made specifically for people who are gluten intolerant. This condition is also known as celiac disease. People who are gluten intolerant cannot digest gluten; as a result, when they consume gluten-containing meals, they experience an immunological reaction. Numerous health problems might result from small intestine irritation brought on by gluten. Additionally, it prevents the body from absorbing a number of essential nutrients. Over time, there has been an increase in the population of people who are gluten intolerant in different places, which is likely to spur demand for gluten-free products. Despite being safe to eat, this protein should be avoided by people who have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, gluten ataxia, or a wheat allergy. They can pick from a variety of gluten-free items, including olive oil, eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits, and other herbs, all of which help to increase energy levels, treat digestive problems, and lower cholesterol and fat levels in the body.

The manufacture of gluten-free goods and their international supply chains have been impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to limited supply chain activities, manufacturers of gluten-free food are unable to procure raw materials and produce goods to satisfy demand. In addition, the majority of the factories were shut down as some governments implemented a lockdown. All of these elements have had a negative impact on the target industry's expansion. Because more people are consuming foods that enhance immunity, it is predicted that the market for gluten-free goods will grow globally in the post-pandemic period.

logo Growth Drivers

  • Increased diagnosis of celiac disease and other food allergies.

Celiac disease, often known as gluten intolerance, is an autoimmune condition of the small intestine. It starts in infancy and is genetically predisposed. Diarrhea, anemia, weariness, and pain in the intestines and stomach are among the symptoms. The incidence of celiac disease has risen over the previous few decades by an average of 7.5% per year, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation (2020). In addition to a real increase in this immune-based condition, which was unrelated to disease diagnosis, the incidence increased.

Additionally, during the past few decades, celiac disease has become more common in many Western nations. When compared to men in the 21st century, women and children had a higher incidence of celiac disease. The prevalence of the celiac disease among women was 17.4 per 100,000 people per year, compared to 7.8 per 100,000 people per year among males. This means that among 100,000 women observed for a year, slightly more than 17 will receive a diagnosis. Children had a higher annual incidence of celiac disease (21.3 per 100,000), compared to adults (12.9 per 100,000). Thereby, rising incidences of celiac disease and other food allergies drive the growth of the global gluten-free products market.

logo Restraints

  • Lack of awareness hindering gluten-free product market growth

The market for gluten-free goods could eventually experience a slowdown in growth. And this is because people all around the world are not aware of celiac disease. A digestive ailment called celiac disease is brought on by an immunological response to foods like wheat, barley, and rye, which are frequently high in the protein gluten.

logo Challenges

  • Formulation challenges faced by manufacturers

It is quite challenging to convert a consumer to a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. For a variety of reasons, including the difference in texture, flavor, and taste, most people are unable to adjust to it. Many manufacturers face significant obstacles as a result of this. The main market participant in gluten-free products faces the problem of developing a product with palatable texture, flavor, consistency, and taste that is comparable to those of traditional gluten-containing food. It is difficult to employ substitute ingredients and get them to interact the same way they would in the original product, which is one of the causes of this. As a result, these characteristics make it difficult for manufacturers to compete in the worldwide market by providing equivalent gluten-free products that are also reasonably priced.

logo Opportunity

  • Adoption of micro encapsulation technology to improve the shelf life of gluten-free products

Gluten protein is in charge of controlling and relating moisture in traditional gluten-containing foods and food items, giving them a reasonably extended shelf life. However, when items are made gluten-free to meet the rising demand of end users around the world, they typically have a shorter shelf life and lack the textural aesthetic. Additionally, it is challenging for the major players to produce a line of gluten-free goods in order to improve moisture retention and shelf-life. To achieve the appropriate shelf-life, they need ongoing R&D and the introduction of newer technology.

One such technique that can help producers accomplish this goal of extending the shelf life and texture of their assortment of gluten-free products is microencapsulation. The same technology has been applied to extend the shelf life of frozen and refrigerated dough, frozen biscuit dough, scoop and bake frozen muffins, and refrigerated pizza's cardboard-like substance and rising crust.

logoSegmentation Analysis

The global Gluten-Free Products market is segmented based on product, distribution channel, and region

The market is divided into bakery products, dairy/ dairy alternatives, meats/ meats alternatives, condiments, seasonings, spreads, desserts & ice creams, prepared foods, pasta and rice, and others on the basis of product. In 2021, the gluten-free products market is anticipated to be dominated by the bakery products category. Due to the expanding popularity of healthier bakery products and the rising prevalence of gluten-free diets due to the increased risk of developing chronic health disorders, a substantial portion of this market can be attributable to these factors.

The market is divided into categories based on distribution channels, including convenience stores, supermarkets & hypermarkets, specialty stores, online, and others. In 2021, supermarkets & hypermarkets became the most popular distribution channel category. This is because it offers convenient access to a variety of things under one roof. Customers can choose products from a wide variety of availability as a result. Since there are more seasonal displays now including gluten-free goods, more new goods are being promoted, growing the segment. Managing a single sizable client base is simpler in supermarkets than managing a big number of independent, smaller customers. Supermarkets and hypermarkets generate a substantial amount of sales since they have access to a sizable consumer base. A bigger sales volume is also made possible by improved brand recognition for products with nationwide distribution.
