Gluten Free 2020


The market for gluten foods continues to increase. 

The Gluten Intolerance Group predicts the Gluten Free Trends for 2020. 

Here are 5 of their predictions:

1. The number of gluten free products will continue to increase

One percent of the U. S. population has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease and nearly 13% of the U.S. population has gluten sensitivity. With over 40 million Americans affected, there are eager consumers that are looking for gluten free options.

2. Gluten free products will be available outside the natural food space

Skin care companies and vitamin/supplement companies are recognizing that people who avoid eating gluten need to avoid gluten in all aspects of their life. Not only does consuming gluten cause GI distress, but also dermatitis.

3. Label transparency will continue to rise in importance

Consumers are reading labels and voicing their opinions with their wallets. Companies with certifications are gaining prominent shelf space and reaching more consumers.

4. The variety of gluten-free and grain-free flours on the market will continue to rise

Companies continue to develop gluten free flour blends. The grain-based flour blends that those with Celiac consume are also important in the growing Paleo market. Look for new flours to hit the market such as apple, banana, coffee, and beet. 

5. There will be a greater demand for gluten free in convenience foods

Grab-and-go, heat-and-eat, and prepared foods are popular among consumers. Companies will be entering the marketplace to fill the needs of the gluten free consumer.
