The increasing prevalence of gluten-related disorders such as celiac disease and gluten intolerance is a major growth driver for the gluten-free products market. As more consumers become aware of these conditions and seek out gluten-free options, the demand for such products continues to rise.
The trend towards healthier eating habits and a growing focus on clean label products also contributes to the growth of the gluten-free products market. Consumers are increasingly looking for products that are free from artificial ingredients and allergens, which has led to a surge in demand for gluten-free alternatives.
The expanding availability and variety of gluten-free products in retail outlets and online platforms have also fueled market growth. Manufacturers are innovating and developing new gluten-free products to cater to the evolving tastes and preferences of consumers.

A critical barrier for the gluten-free products market is the higher cost associated with gluten-free ingredients and production processes. This cost is often passed on to consumers, making gluten-free products more expensive than their gluten-containing counterparts, which can deter some price-sensitive consumers.
Moreover, another significant challenge is the challenge of maintaining the taste and texture of gluten-free products. Formulating gluten-free products that are not only safe for consumption but also palatable and enjoyable for consumers can be a difficult task. Manufacturers must invest in research and development to overcome this challenge and ensure the quality of their gluten-free products.
