Market Trends of Australia Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages Industry

Rising Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance to Support Gluten-free Product Consumption

The number of consumers with celiac disease and gluten intolerance is rising in Australia. As per the National Health and Medical Research Council, about 11% of Australian adults consume a gluten-free diet, and less than 0.5% have celiac disease. Celiac disease affects around 1 in 70 people in Australia. It is incurable, and people need to follow a gluten-free diet all their lives, thus creating opportunities for companies to produce gluten-free foods and beverages.

The increasing recognition of severe intolerances and allergies and the rising perception that a gluten-free diet is healthy are making gluten-free foods and beverages mainstream instead of specialty foods. With the rising popularity of clean labeling and an increase in the supply of high-quality gluten-free products, manufacturers are taking advantage of the market's huge potential, thus supporting the gluten-free foods and beverages market.
