USA Rice issues report on gluten-free product market

USA Rice Federation released the March issue of The Rice Advisor (member log-in required), monthly research report on trends for products using rice as an ingredient. This edition gives a snapshot of the gluten free market, including rice product categories, top manufacturers of gluten free products, and opportunities for rice in the market.

Increased awareness of celiac disease and gluten sensitivity has led to significant growth in the gluten free product market. Gluten-free food and beverages reached sales of 2.64 billion in 2010, a 30 percent increase since 2006 according to a recent Packaged Facts study, and are projected to grow to US$5.6 billion by 2015. As a prominent ingredient in gluten-free products, rice will continue to benefit from growth of the market.
