The gluten-free marketplace is on fire! In just a few short years, the specialty industry has transitioned from a small, niche market into a large, mainstream sensation that caters to more than 10 million people in the United States living with Celiac Disease and other issues related to gluten intolerance.
As more and more shoppers demand gluten-free food, large, mainstream gocery stores are jumping onboard and selling tons of gluten-free products. In turn, the market has exploded. According to Packaged Facts, the gluten-free marketplace reached $2.6 billion in 2010, marking a compound annual growth rate of 30% over the period between 2006 and 2010. The organization projects that U.S. sales of gluten-free products could exceed $5 billion by 2015.
