The Gluten-Free Market

The U.S. market for gluten-free products is a $2.5 billion industry and analysts expect that sales will more than double that to exceed $5 Billion by 2015! More and more retailers are realizing the potential of offering gluten-free options on their menu.

A growing number of consumers today are interested in gluten-free diets because of the inflammatory disorder known as celiac disease, which according to National Institutes of Health estimates, may affect three million or about 1 in every 100 Americans. From true Celiac's Disease sufferers, to a larger group that may have a slight gluten intolerance, to an even larger segment of the population that is beginning to view gluten as something to avoid when possible, the category has much room to grow.

How you can increase your business by offering a Gluten-Free option

  • The gluten-free customer is new business. If they are not coming in now it is because your pizza menus, and food menus in general, are not typically gluten-free friendly.
  • People on a special diet are always asked to choose the restaurant, and they don't eat alone; they have families, friends, business associates, etc. Dining decisions are centered on where that individual(s) can and cannot eat.
  • This customer will travel farther, widening the geographical market of your restaurant.
  • The gluten-free customer is thankful and loyal and willingly pays a premium to be included.
