Mexico Gluten Free Food Market Trends:

Rising awareness about gluten intolerance and celiac disease

The increasing awareness about gluten intolerance and celiac disease is positively influencing the market. As more people are learning about the symptoms and health risks associated with gluten consumption, particularly for those with celiac disease, the demand for gluten-free options continues to rise. As per the findings of research conducted in the northwest of Mexico, as of October 2024, a total of 83% of the patients improved with a gluten-free diet. Healthcare professionals increasingly diagnose gluten-related disorders, encouraging people to seek dietary solutions. Educational campaigns and social media portals are also significantly contributing to disseminating information about the benefits of gluten-free diets. As people are becoming more informed, they are actively looking for gluten-free labels and making conscious purchasing decisions. Food manufacturers are responding to this trend by offering a wider variety of gluten-free products, ranging from snacks to bakery items and meal kits. Restaurants and cafes are also adapting their menus to include gluten-free options, making dining out more inclusive. This growing awareness is fostering a supportive environment for individuals managing gluten sensitivity. It is also motivating those without medical gluten intolerance to choose gluten-free foods as part of a perceived healthier lifestyle.

This helps people easily find gluten-free options without visiting specialty stores. Online retail platforms are also growing rapidly, providing a wide range of gluten-free food products with home delivery, making it convenient for people in remote areas to access these items. Retailers are investing in better product placement, clear labeling, and promotional campaigns to attract health-focused buyers. They are also collaborating with gluten-free brands to launch private label products, making gluten-free choices more affordable. As retail channels are rising in number, the competition is increasing, which is improving product quality and pricing.
