Gluten Free Pasta Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product Type (Chickpea Pasta, Multigrain Pasta, Brown Rice pasta and Quinoa Pasta), Type (Rice, Corn, Millet and Other Ingredients), Distribution Channel and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Gluten Free Pasta Market is accounted for $1.26 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $1.93 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.32% during the forecast period. A protein called gluten is present in some grains, such as rye, spelt, wheat, and barley. By serving as glue to hold the food's shape together, gluten helps. The need for gluten-free products is critical for treating celiac disease symptoms and other gluten-related illnesses. Pasta that is gluten-free differs from regular pasta. Rice, buckwheat, quinoa, millet, and corn are among the mixture of grains used to make it. Brown rice pasta, chickpea pasta, quinoa pasta, and other varieties of gluten-free pasta are some examples.
According to the Gluten-Intolerance Group of North America, celiac shoppers estimated that up to 30% of their entire monthly grocery bill was spent on gluten-free products.
Market Dynamics:Driver: Increasing awareness about the health benefits of gluten free food
One of the main factors driving the growth of the gluten-free pasta market is the rising awareness of the health benefits of eating food without gluten. Because it gives baked goods a rich texture and is a type of protein found in wheat and its byproducts, gluten is frequently used in all baked goods. Improved cholesterol levels, better digestion, and less intestinal inflammation are a few health advantages of gluten-free food. Children with autism who are sensitive to the peptides and proteins in foods containing gluten and casein benefit from eating gluten-free foods. Therefore, the reactions will not occur if gluten is avoided. Thus, during the forecast period, the growth of the gluten-free pasta market will be driven by the rising awareness of the health benefits of gluten-free food products.
Restraint:Bland taste of gluten free pasta
The bland flavor of gluten-free pasta is the main factor that is expected to restrain the market's expansion. Compared to other wheat pastas, it doesn't have a strong taste or flavor. Additional and handling costs incurred by small and medium-sized manufacturers are hampering the overall market's growth.
Opportunity:Rising demand for gluten free food and beverages
Global demand for gluten-free food and beverage products is rising as consumers become more health conscious and consume more nutritious food. To meet the growing demand for gluten-free products, major investments are being made by international manufacturers in the R&D sector. In addition, firms are concentrating on new product launches in an effort to keep their clientele. The expansion of the market is also influenced by the promotion of products through various channels. The demand for alcoholic beverages free of gluten is also fueling the expansion of gluten-free beverages.
Threat:Expensive gluten free foods
Certifications, exclusive carriers to prevent cross-contamination, specialized supply chains, and logistics are costs associated with making gluten-free pasta. As a result, the price of manufacturing gluten-free goods is higher. When compared to regular pasta, the cost of gluten-free pasta is ten times higher. Families' overall monthly food expenses rise as a result of these high prices. Due to the high cost of gluten-free food items, consumers who are intolerant to gluten are predicted to favor them less.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak had a favorable effect on the regional market. For those with celiac disease, a gluten-free diet is advised by medical professionals. Additionally, the export of gluten-free pasta from Europe increased in 2020 as a result of widespread consumption of packaged foods. Initially, there were issues with the supply chain, but they were fixed after the lockdowns were lifted. Therefore, a higher proportion of the population in the region preferring gluten-free pasta will increase its demand during the forecast period due to the rising number of health-conscious consumers.
The hypermarkets/supermarkets segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
During the forecast period, the hypermarkets and supermarkets segment is anticipated to account for the largest share of the market. These kinds of sales channels are provided by hypermarkets and supermarkets, which provide a wide range of products and ease of purchase. Additionally, it improves brand visibility and facilitates shopping, expanding the market for gluten free pasta.
The brown rice pasta segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Brown rice pasta is anticipated to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. This market is expanding because consumers are turning to brown rice pasta, which has a mild flavor and a chewy texture, as a possible replacement for traditional pasta dishes. Brown rice is not only a healthier option, but it is also a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and beneficial substances that can lessen or improve a number of medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Region with largest share:Due to an increase in celiac disease patients in North America, a rise in pasta consumption, and a rise in the demand for free-from products, North America is anticipated to hold the largest share of the global market for gluten-free pasta during the forecast period. In 2020, North America held a 39% share of the global market for gluten-free pasta. This is explained by the rising demand for non-GMO, gluten free and allergy-free food items in this area. Additionally, the market in this region is expanding as people become more aware of the advantages of gluten-free pasta as a healthy source of pasta.
Region with highest CAGR:Europe is projected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. Traditional foods like bread and pasta are taking a backseat to the growing category of ""free-from"" foods. Naturally, gluten-free ingredients like ancient grains, wheat substitutes, and formulations without grains are becoming more popular in the area. The market in this European region is also expanding as a result of the expanding food and beverage sector as well as a growing preference among consumers for healthy food items.
