Key Highlights

• The growing prevalence of gluten-intolerance and celiac allergies is the primary reason for boosting the demand for gluten-free food products in the region. Many regional and country-level associations and organizations, such as the Association of European Coeliac Societies, the German Coeliac Society, and Coeliac UK, are structuring the gluten-free market by specifying the requirements for the use of gluten-free claims on pre-packaged foods. By strictly scrutinizing the product market, these authorities are ensuring promised health to the consumers.
• Europe has the most celiac diagnosed consumers, and as a result, it holds the most promising market for gluten-free products. However, the elevated prices associated with gluten-free products is restricting consumers in low-income groups to progressively buy the products, further serving as a significant roadblock for market growth.

Italy holds the Largest Market Share

According to the Ministry of Health, 182,858 Italians were diagnosed with celiac disease in 2017, compared to 172,000 in 2014, an increase of about 6%. Owing to the rising prominence of celiac disease among the population in the country, consumers are getting motivated to switch to gluten-free products, including soups and sauces. Furthermore, the pasta sauce market has registered remarkable growth over the last few decades, owing to increasing per capita consumption of pasta throughout the country. The rising demand for pasta coupled with an increasing number of celiac disease is directly fuelling the demand for gluten-free pasta sauce. Thus manufacturers are trying to widen their consumer base by launching vegan, kosher gluten-free pasta sauce in the country.
