This statistic shows the results of a consumer survey conducted by Packaged Facts in August 2012. People were asked if they suffer from celiac disease or wheat/gluten intolerance and if they buy gluten-free products. The results indicated that only 0.1 percent of the U.S. population are diagnosed celiacs, whereas 18 percent of the consumers actually buy products tagged as gluten-free. Hence, there was a large gap between the number of people who really need to stick to a gluten-free diet and those who actually buy gluten-free products.
