ALBANY, New York – Gluten-free food products are eatables that do not contain any traces of gluten, which is a protein composite found in barley, rye, wheat, and all their species. A gluten-free diet is a treatment for people diagnosed with celiac disease. People with celiac disease react abnormally to gluten, causing bowel damage, and thus need gluten-free food. Gluten-free diet is also recommended for non-celiac disease patients, who might develop allergies or discomfort when they eat products containing gluten. This is termed as non-celiac disease gluten sensitivity.
Transparency Market Research (TMR) has announced the addition of a new market study on the global gluten-free food products market. The report is titled "Gluten Free Food Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2015 – 2021." According to the report, in terms of revenue, the global gluten-free market, which was valued at US$2.84 bn in 2014 is projected to reach US$4.89 bn by 2021, expanding at a 7.7% CAGR from 2015 to 2021.
The gluten-free products market is driven by the rising number of celiac disease patients and the rising prevalence of non-celiac disease gluten sensitivity among people. Growing consumer awareness about the health benefits of gluten-free food is driving the market. Rising efforts for weight management among people across the globe are driving the gluten-free food products market. The high demand for gluten-free bakery products is also encouraging the market's growth. On the other hand, lack of awareness regarding celiac disease is a huge challenge, which is restraining the growth of the gluten-free products market. However, the focus of key gluten-free food product manufacturers on the fresh food industry will open new opportunities of growth in the market.
