Gluten-Free Oats Market to Register 7.8% CAGR as Demand for Allergen-Free Products Surges

The global gluten-free oats market is expected to witness growth at a CAGR of 7.8% in the forecasted period and to be valued more than US$ 334.0 Mn by 2032.

Growth in the market is attributed to growing prevalence of food allergies and other types of food gluten sensitivities. Food allergy reactions range in severity from minor hives and swelling of the lips to severe, life-threatening symptoms known as anaphylaxis, which can include lethal breathing issues and shock.

Food allergies are currently incurable despite the development of promising preventative and therapy techniques. Early detection of food allergies and learning how to manage them, including which foods to avoid, are critical steps in avoiding major health repercussions.

The FDA enforces regulations requiring manufacturers to declare ingredients on packaged foods and beverages to safeguard persons with food allergies and other food hypersensitivities. There are stricter labeling rules for foods or chemicals that induce allergies or other hypersensitivity reactions.

Consumers are willing to follow healthy diets to control their fitness rates because of the rising prevalence of conditions associated with modern lifestyles such as diabetes and obesity. Rising incidences of celiac disease and increased gluten sensitivity among consumers have also created a strong demand for gluten-free products.

Oatmeal drinks are an excellent choice for people who want to reduce their gluten intake while also consuming fewer calories. For example, the Quaker Oats Company in the U.S. sells gluten-free oat drinks. The company sells both regular and instant gluten-free oat drinks to its customers.
