Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing number of individuals diagnosed with food intolerances

Gluten-free, lactose-free, and other intolerance-specific products have emerged as a result of customer tastes shifting towards healthier and allergen-free options as a result of the increase in diagnoses. The demand for clean-label, health-focused food products has also increased due to changes in lifestyle and increased health consciousness, which has resulted in a sharp rise in the sales of allergen-free products boosting its growth in the market.

Restraint:

High costs and limited affordability

Products that are free of gluten and lactose are frequently more expensive than their traditional counterparts, which puts a strain on consumers' finances, particularly those who are on a tight budget. This may hinder market expansion by discouraging potential buyers. Furthermore, given their high price, customers may choose more conventional food items instead of food intolerance goods, which would lower sales of the latter, particularly in areas where consumers are price conscious which is hampering the markets growth during the expected time frame.

Opportunity:

Shift towards healthier eating habits and clean label products

Manufacturers are responding to consumer demand by creating gluten-free, lactose-free, and allergy-friendly food products with transparent ingredient labels.

These preferences are reflected in the shift in demand for food intolerance products, which supports improved digestive health and general wellbeing. The market is seeing an increase in products classified as allergy-friendly.

Threat:

Lack of standardized definitions and regulations

Vague labeling and confusing definitions of ""gluten-free"" and ""lactose-free"" items can confuse consumers. This may result in unintentional ingestion of allergens. Furthermore, in the absence of required manufacturing procedures, products may fail to meet safety requirements, which could result in cross-contamination and undermine the veracity of claims pertaining to food intolerance.
