It’s being expected that by 2029, the Gluten Free Products market cap will hit $10.96 billion at a CAGR growth of about 8.3%.
Gluten is a protein group that is commonly found in foods such as wheat, barley, rye, and other cereal products. It is responsible for the soft, chewy texture found in most gluten-containing cereal-based products. Gluten has numerous beneficial functions in the food we consume, so it is found in a wide range of food products, including beverages. However, people do show intolerance and allergy towards the consumption of gluten rich products, and this has posed problem to the food industry. This problem lead to the production of gluten free products which serve as an alternative to gluten rich products.
This can be ascribed to the increase in application in different food industries and the health benefits associated with consumption. Other factors such as major market players are focusing on new innovations to entice consumers to consume gluten-free items.
However, lack of awareness of the celiac disease among individuals globally will hamper the growth of the market. Moreover, increase in demand for gluten free products create lucrative opportunities for manufacturers in the upcoming years.
