Gluten-free foods market in the U.S. - statistics & facts
Food allergies and food intolerances are a growing public health concern causing higher consumer demand of products that are tailored to meet special dietary requirements. In particular, the global market for gluten-free foods is rocketing. By 2032, the market is projected to be valued at 14 billion U.S. dollars, more than double the 2022 market value. The interest in such foods is closely linked to the prevalence of celiac disease, a chronic digestive disorder where the consumption of gluten triggers an immune reaction which can be harmful to the small intestine. For those with celiac disease, some foods which are high in gluten and should, therefore, be avoided or replaced with gluten-free options include bread, pasta, cereals, and baked goods.
