Palm Beach, FL – April 12, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – The rising prevalence of diseases owing to unhealthy lifestyles is expected to drive the demand for gluten-free products in the coming years. Consumption of healthy food products in order to prevent health disorders, such as heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, chronic pulmonary disease, and metabolic syndrome is expected to drive the growth of this market. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has exponentially impacted the usage of gluten-free products due to rising health, and wellness-related concerns among the consumers. Gluten is the protein found in grains such as rye, barley, wheat, and triticale. Foods with gluten cause food intolerance for consumers who have celiac disease, an autoimmune and inherited dysfunction in which gluten weakens the small intestine. Experts estimate that Celiac disease affects 1% of healthy people in the United States. That means at least 3 million people in the United States have celiac disease, with 97% of them undiagnosed. In the United States, people consume gluten-free foods to treat people with celiac disease or people without this condition for its supposed health benefits. As per a report from RESEARCHANDMARKETS, the United States Gluten Free Food Market will reach USD 11.4 Billion by 2026. The report said: “The U.S. Gluten-Free Market is segmented into Bakery Products, Dairy/ Dairy Alternatives, Meats/ Meats Alternatives, Condiments, Seasonings, Spreads, Desserts & Ice-Creams, Prepared Food, Pasta and Rice Etc. Among these, bakery and dairy alternatives are the most preferred for the gluten-free diet. Due to the rise in celiac disease in United States, the baking industry is focusing on gluten-free products. American eating habits are changing all the time; they have formed negative opinions regarding various ingredients currently in use, resulting in increased demand for gluten-free bakery products and dairy alternatives. Further, it is expected that the United States Gluten Free Industry will grow with a CAGR of 10.10% during 2020-2026.” Active companies in the markets this week include The Good Flour Corp. (OTCQB: GFCOF) (CSE: GFCO), The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), The Kraft Heinz Company (NASDAQ: KHC), Kellogg Company (NYSE:K), RiceBran Technologies (NASDAQ:RIBT).
RESEARCHANDMARKETS continued: “In U.S, those who are unable to tolerate gluten on a biological level typically consume Gluten-free food. In addition to this, people prefer to follow a gluten-free diet for a healthy diet. According to taste and consumption, grocery stores, mass merchandisers, independent natural or health food shore club stores, drug stores all have large varieties of gluten products. American people largely prefer grocery stores for purchasing gluten-free products because of ease in locating shops, availability of multiple goods categories, and regular buying destinations. According to the publisher, the United States Gluten Free Product Market Size was valued US$ 6.4 Billion in 2020. In the United States, factors like the increased number of celiac disease and the high incidence of autoimmune disorders fuel the gluten-free goods market expansion. Government attempts to promote the consumption of healthy foods and increased marketing activity expected to propel the industry forward, together with increasing spending on research and development to extend the shelf life of gluten-free probiotics are fueling market growth.”
