Market Relevance

Increased cases of celiac disease diagnoses and the increasing prevalence of gluten intolerances are helping to broaden the base of consumers for gluten-free baked goods from strictly people suffering from such conditions to regular consumers. The evolution of gluten-free bakery to clean label, nutritious, and functional foods is making the market more appealing to the general wellness-oriented consumer base.

Gluten Free Bakery Market Overview

This market consists of products, such as bread, cakes, biscuits/cookies, among others, which are baked from alternative flours including rice flour, almond flour, corn flour, quinoa flour, etc. available through supermarkets/hypermarkets, specialized stores, as well as online retail. Bread is deeply established as a daily need for people suffering from celiac disease and health-conscious individuals, whereas gourmet products like cakes, biscuits/cookies are proving to be the fastest growing category.

Strategic Market Outlook

Opportunities exist in the growing trend of e-commerce and subscription-based delivery channels, which help allergen-free and specialty bakery brands connect directly with their consumers irrespective of the geographical location. Subscription programs providing customized gluten-free boxes ensure customer loyalty, while data-driven digital marketing allows the companies to detect trends and enter the new markets with minimized risks. More than 60 percent of customers buying gluten-free bakery products today prefer to buy from online retail websites, where almost 45 percent of bakery products are purchased in the form of allergen-free and specialty gluten-free products.
