Rising consumer preference for clean label & fortified gluten-free products and rising awareness of gluten intolerance & celiac disease are among the critical factors attributed to drive the South & Central America gluten-free products market growth.
As more people adopt healthy lifestyles, they seek products that offer more health benefits than just gluten-free. Consumers have associated clean-label products with better health prospects. While gluten-free products are essential for individuals with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, there is a growing assumption that gluten-free products lack fiber, vitamins, and minerals. To address this gap and appeal to health-conscious consumers, key market players have developed fortified formulations. The demand for functional food products that offer health benefits has also positively influenced the gluten-free products market. Consumer preferences have shifted toward specific health goals, such as improved digestion, enhanced energy level, and better immune function. Gluten-free products are fortified with probiotics, omega-3 fatty acids, or antioxidants cater to these needs, offering consumers options to fit their wellness routine.
The influence of international health trends and the availability of global and international brands across the globe have further accelerated the adoption of clean-label products. The major retailers, such as Carrefour, Lulu Hypermarket, Walmart, Tesco, and online platforms, offer international gluten-free brands, thus providing customers with various options that meet international clean label standards. The trend of clean label food is a response to a combination of factors such as rising health awareness, demographic shifts, and the influence of international brands. This trend has led to the development of gluten-free, clean-labeled, and fortified products, positioning them as premium and healthy food products. Furthermore, in August 2024, Embrapa, Brazil's agricultural research agency, launched a new line of gluten-free products made through thermoplastic extrusion that offers an increase in nutritional quality without a reduction in flavor. Products include pita bread, snack puffs, pasta, and pre-cooked flours, all containing added nutrients from cereals and pulses. The pita bread has 10% dietary fiber and 10.5% protein for those who are looking for clean label, and fortified gluten-free products in Brazil. The gluten-free market is evolving to meet growing consumer demand for clean-label, fortified, and functional products that support overall health and wellness. Brands are focusing on transparency, nutrient enhancement, and natural ingredients to appeal to health-conscious individuals. This shift is driving innovation and positioning gluten-free options as premium, nutritious choices beyond just gluten avoidance.
