The rapidly growing consumption of gluten free bakery products is also augmenting the market. Manufacturers are applying new processes and new ingredients that are helping in manufacturing innovative gluten free bakery products that have similar flavor and texture as their gluten-containing counterparts.

Lack of Awareness about Celiac Diseases to Hamper Growth Prospects

Trends indicate that the majority of the people consuming gluten free diet are unaware of the symptoms of celiac disease and hence in most cases it remains untreated. The American Journal of Gastroenterology states that 1.6 million consumers in the United States are on a gluten-free diet but still they are not diagnosed with celiac disease. The awareness level is even lower in developing regions such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. The lack of awareness is adversely affecting the growth of the global gluten free food market.
