India Food Allergy Market Trends:

Rising Awareness and Education on Food Allergies

In India, there has been an increasing awareness about food allergies, leading to higher demand for allergen-free foods and services. Industry reports indicate that approximately one-third of the world’s population thinks they or a relative has a particular food allergy. Current surveys show that merely 2%-8% of children and 1%-2% of adults have clinically confirmed food allergies, with the rest categorized as food intolerances. Healthcare professionals, NGOs, and government organizations have conducted awareness campaigns to educate the masses regarding the danger of food allergies and appropriate diagnosis and management. As there is an increase in the number of food allergies, particularly in children, people are increasingly aware of what is being put into their food and what could cause an allergic reaction. As a result, the demand for allergen-friendly products, i.e., gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free foods, has skyrocketed. Furthermore, social media websites and internet forums are helping in the dissemination of information and linking people with food allergies. Consequently, brands are investing in providing transparent labeling and certification of allergen-free products to enable consumers to easily spot safe food choices, resulting in an increase in the market.

Increased Adoption of Allergen-Free Food Products

The India food allergy market outlook is experiencing strong growth due to increasing food allergies and lifestyle changes. According to industry reports, allergies are becoming more common in today's society, with approximately 20-30% of the population facing some kind of allergy at some point in their lives. Furthermore, recent studies have shown that as the global population grows older, allergy symptoms in elderly individuals will become more prevalent. Hence, consumers are gravitating toward food products that do not contain popular allergens like gluten, dairy, nuts, and soy in order to avoid triggering allergic responses. This is most evident in urban regions, where the choice of specialty food items is on the rise. Food companies are reacting by introducing new allergen-free and health-focused food products, meeting the demand of people with food allergies. The trend toward plant-based diets is also driving the market, as most plant-based foods inherently avoid common allergens. In addition, a rise in the number of restaurants and food chains that provide allergen-free alternatives is further enhancing the market. With more individuals embracing allergen-free diets due to health or medical purposes, demand for the products is set to continue growing, giving companies new business opportunities.
