subject: The Future Of Gluten-free: Consumer Insight And Product Opportunities - Market Research Reports On A [print this page] Introduction Introduction
Consumers who are completely intolerant to gluten consumption have celiac disease. They require a special diet where products are not made using wheat-based ingredients. The prevalence of celiac disease is growing, due in part to better diagnoses. As the number of potential consumers rises, products manufactured to fit in with their requirements are becoming more sophisticated
Scope

*Covers: France, Germany, Italy, Neths, Spain, Sweden, UK, US, Australia, Japan, S. Korea, China, India, Brazil and Russia, plus MENA-based insight
Highlights
Many gluten-free markets have experienced double-digit growth in recent years due to an increasing number of celiacs requiring these foods and beverages. Another factor is also that some consumers without celiac disease have adopted free-from alternatives as a healthier dietary option, despite the fact that they can digest gluten-based groceries
One of the main inhibitors of consumption is a widespread lack of knowledge. Many consumers do not know the full details of gluten intolerance. Indeed, many do not know the difference between an allergy and an intolerance. Furthermore, research shows that many consumers may have celiac disease but are either misdiagnosed or undiagnosed entirely
Gluten-free products are expanding, with an increasing number of snacks and alcoholic beverages designed to appeal to consumers on a sensory level. Innovative formulations are allowing manufacturers to make products using certain grains despite this process traditionally being thought of as unsuitable for this consumer group
