List of Tables

[191 Pages Report] The Gluten-Free Breakfast Cereals Market size was estimated at USD 24.26 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 25.69 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.17% to reach USD 36.90 billion by 2030.

Gluten-free breakfast cereals are specifically formulated without gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, to cater to individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. The increasing prevalence of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity has heightened consumer demand for gluten-free products. The rising health consciousness among consumers, who perceive gluten-free diets as healthier or part of a lifestyle choice, further fuels market growth. Additionally, the growing trend towards specialty diets and the increasing availability of gluten-free products in mainstream grocery stores boost market expansion. The higher cost of gluten-free cereals compared to traditional cereals limits their accessibility and appeal. The potential for cross-contamination during manufacturing requires stringent production controls that hampers the market growth. Increasing development of innovative and nutritionally enhanced gluten-free cereals and expanding product lines to include a variety of flavors and ingredients are expected to create opportunities for market growth.
