Global Free From Food Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Growing chronic diseases due to unhealthy consumption of food

The high prevalence of various lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and so on, is increasing demand for healthy food items. Furthermore, rising concerns about the presence of synthetic additives, preservatives, and GMOs in conventionally processed food products are fuelling the free-from food market. Aside from that, rising consumer living standards, fuelled by rising disposable income levels, have increased per capita spending on high-quality and premium food products.

• Growing demand for clean label products

Clean label products are in high demand because consumers look for plant-based proteins, and vegetarian foods are considered healthier. Clean label products are completely natural, non-GMO, and made with real ingredients, with no additives or preservatives. The main benefit of a clean label product is that consumers can easily read the ingredients and that it is organic and free of chemicals. Companies should have good packaging design, food product transparency, and simple ingredients with functional benefits.

Opportunity

The growing influence of social media trends and numerous celebrity endorsements promoting the consumption of gluten-free, vegan, and low-calorie food products is catalysing market growth even further. Furthermore, the global expansion of the superfood sector has boosted the market for clean-label products with long shelf lives and high nutritional value.

Restraints

However, the shelf life of free-from food is limited, which will pose a significant challenge to the market's growth. The high costs of the items will further limit the scope of growth for the free-form food market.
