The global gluten-free foods and beverages market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing shift of athletes towards gluten-free products and the growing prevalence of celiac disease will drive the growth of the global gluten-free food and beverages market. For managing signs and symptoms of celiac disease, gluten-free foods and beverages are essential. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which immune system activity is triggered by gluten and damages the inner lining of the small intestine and subsequently hampers the absorption of nutrients from food. A gluten-free diet allows the patients to heal the damage caused by the gluten to the small intestine and prevents further damage over time. According to the report of the Celiac Disease Foundation in 2018, the global prevalence of the celiac disease is 1.4% based on blood tests and 0.7% based on biopsy results. The prevalence of celiac disease was higher in children than adults and higher in females than males.

Gluten-free spaghetti, bread, and other meals are readily available in restaurants, stores, and specialty food companies for the patient. Instead of wheat flour, they can eat rice, potato, rice, quinoa, soy, amaranth, bean flour, or buckwheat. Avowing gluten, can make a person healthier and help them lose weight. It is not, however, always a healthy diet. A gluten-free diet may not provide the body with enough minerals, nutrients, and vitamins, such as calcium, fibre, and iron. Gluten-free foods can be more expensive than gluten-containing foods, which is a restraining factor for the growth of the market.
