Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
The gluten free snacks industry is expanding primarily due to rising cases of gluten intolerance and other food sensitivities, the medicinal value of gluten-free snacks, a rise in millennial demand, and an increase in the prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBS). Potential prospects exist for market participants due to rising food intolerance consciousness and the use of microencapsulation technology to lengthen the shelf life of gluten-free snacks. The gluten free snacks market expansion would benefit from growing R&D activity and enhanced modernization of newly released goods.
Nevertheless, there is a big market opportunity due to greater player partnerships and growing brand awareness. The demand for diet regimens and weight-management programs incorporating grain-free food options is also high. Additionally, businesses use online retail systems due to the booming e-commerce sector to provide customers with a wide variety of products. They are designing eye-catching, environmentally friendly packaging with clear labeling to grab consumers' attention, which is anticipated to have a favorable market impact.
Consumers are increasingly choosing gluten-free, ready-to-eat meals, pasta, and baby food items due to their hectic lifestyles and busy schedules. The global gluten free snacks market demand will rise as people worldwide become more aware of their gluten intolerance and their increased health consciousness.
Furthermore, gluten free snacks market growth is due to the rise in celiac disease cases and sensitivities associated with gluten. The millennial generation's growing preference for convenience diets may open up fresh growth prospects for the international market. However, the global market may be slowed down by high production costs and the accessibility of substitute food goods like functional foods and dietary supplements.
The gluten-free snacks market is segmented on the basis of product type, distributional channel and generation. Based on product type, the gluten-free snacks market is segmented as nutrition bars, candy bars, salty snacks, nuts and others. By distribution channel, the gluten-free snacks market is segmented into convenience stores, supermarket and hypermarket, specialty stores, drugstores and pharmacies, e commerce and others. By generation, the market is segmented into millennials, generation X and baby boomers.
The salty snacks category is expected to hold a major share of the global gluten-free snacks market. The market for salty snacks is driven by the rise in the consumption of quick-to-eat foods and the widespread accessibility of such goods worldwide. The fact that the ingredients used to manufacture these goods are both gluten-free and nutritious, which is consistent with the trend towards eating healthy food, increases the appeal of gluten-free snacks on the international market.
The supermarket & hypermarkets segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global Gluten-free snacks market. This is because it offers convenient access to various things under one roof. Customers can choose products from a wide variety of availability as a result. Since there are more seasonal displays now, including gluten-free goods, more new goods are being promoted, growing the segment. Managing a single sizable client base is simpler in supermarkets than managing many independent, smaller customers. Supermarkets and hypermarkets generate substantial sales since they have access to a sizable consumer base. A bigger sales volume is also made possible by increasing brand recognition for products with nationwide distribution.
The North America gluten-free snacks market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue soon. The high proportion of this region is largely related to the increase in shopper health and wellness, the development in the number of celiac disease cases, the prevalence of wheat intolerance, the widespread accessibility of gluten-free items in nearly all grocery shops, the rise in demand for gluten-free bakery products, the strengthening of distribution networks, and the increase in marketing activities. Additionally, the region is anticipated to develop quickly, attributed to the increasing demand for prepared meals and frozen gluten-free foods.
In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global gluten-free snacks market. Due to the rising popularity of healthy diet items and the innovative marketing techniques used by top suppliers to gain a sizable market share, this region has the potential to develop. The expansion of health and fitness tourism, which directly encourages the adoption of better diets, is another new trend in the Asia-Pacific region. More people are traveling to improve their quality of life. Recent research from the Global Wellness Institute shows that Asia Pacific has the fastest growth in terms of spa visits, tourism spending, and the overall number of spas. For instance, Vietnam is the most well-known location in Asia for these meals, while Bali has gained a reputation for contemporary gluten-free dishes.
