The various advantages of the lactose-free food segment will increase the market growth. The lactose-free food segment caters to individuals who experience lactose intolerance, a condition in which the body is unable to fully digest lactose, a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products. Therefore, the demand for lactose-free alternatives has surged, prompting the food industry to develop a wide array of products to meet this growing need. Moreover, one of the primary examples of a lactose-free food segment in the global market is lactose-free milk. Furthermore, lactose-free milk undergoes a process that breaks down the lactose into simpler sugars, making it easier to digest for individuals with lactose intolerance. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
The hypermarkets and supermarkets segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The hypermarkets and supermarkets segment plays a major role in the global market by offering a wide range of options for consumers with specific dietary needs. In addition, these retail giants actively cater to the growing demand for gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and other allergen-free products.

Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The strong distribution network between companies and retailers has also increased the purchasing options for end-users, which is fuelling the growth of the regional market in North America. In addition, consumers in North America are more inclined toward organic and natural dietary products that supplement natural tastes, and this preference has spurred the consumption of organic and natural food products in the region. Moreover, various market players in the region are offering organic, gluten-free food products. For instance, Bob Red Mill Natural Foods Inc. (Bob Red Mill) offers Organic Coconut Flour and Organic Classic Oatmeal Cups in the US. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market in North America during the forecast period.
A driving force behind the market growth is the rising health consciousness and wellness among end-users, supported by market research and growth analysis. The global market experiences significant expansion due to factors such as the increasing prevalence of food allergies in adults, migraines, and sore throats.
Furthermore, the rise of the vegan diet and the clean-label category contributes to market growth. Private-label brands, especially those offering lactose-free products and gluten-free options, play a pivotal role, as highlighted in market reports. Despite challenges like the high cost of gluten-free products, the market continues to evolve, driven by consumer demand for specialty ingredients and color additives.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the rising health consciousness and wellness among end-users. The global market is experiencing a significant increase in demand due to a growing health consciousness and focus on wellness among end-users. In addition, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of how certain foods can negatively impact their health and are looking for products that cater to their specific dietary needs.
Moreover, one of the primary factors is the growing popularity of lactose-free and gluten-free products. In addition, as more individuals are diagnosed with lactose intolerance or celiac disease, there is a higher demand for food and beverage options that cater to these specific dietary requirements. Furthermore, this has led to an expansion of product offerings in various categories, including dairy alternatives, gluten-free baked goods, and pasta made from alternative grains. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is the increasing prominence of private-label brands. Private-label food intolerance products are becoming a major focus area for retailers across the world. In addition, different retailers are selling various types of gluten-free foods and beverages under their private-label brands to increase their profitability, which is contributing to the growth of the global market.
Moreover, major retailers are introducing their own brands of food intolerance products across the world, such as organic and bakery products and confectioneries, thus capitalizing on consumer growing demand. In addition, over the last decade, the private-label product segment grew in terms of scope and size. For example, Amazon.com offers a line of products, including foods and beverages, through its private-label brand, 365 Everyday Value. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The high price of gluten-free food products is one of the key challenges hindering the market growth. The global market is still developing and small in comparison to the market for gluten-containing food products. In addition, the complexity involved in the manufacturing process of gluten-free food products accounts for their high cost. Furthermore, rice and corn, which are the prime ingredients used instead of wheat in gluten-free food products, are more expensive than wheat.
Moreover, the other costs incurred during the manufacturing of gluten-free food are certifications, exclusive carriers to avoid cross-contamination, specialized supply chains, and logistics. Thus, the manufacturing cost of gluten-free products is higher than that of products with gluten, and the same is reflected in the selling price of gluten-free products. For instance, the price of gluten-free bread is almost ten times higher than that of its regular counterpart. Such high prices increase family's overall monthly food expenses. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market forecasting growth and analysis.
