Health-conscious consumers' inclination towards organic and gluten-free products fuels further development in the market. Meanwhile, opportunities lie in expanding product lines with healthier and allergen-free options, enhancing online presence, and leveraging sustainable packaging to appeal to environmentally-conscious consumers.
