Ready To Eat Cereal segment is projected to experience faster growth for the gluten-free breakfast cereals market due to increasing consumer demand for convenient, healthy breakfast options, increasing prevalence of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease, and growing awareness of the health benefits of whole grains and other gluten-free ingredients. Among the various segments of the gluten-free breakfast cereals market, the ready-to-eat (RTE) cereal segment has emerged as a key driver of growth in recent years. RTE cereal is one of the most convenient and easy-to-prepare breakfast options available in the market. With busy lifestyles and hectic schedules becoming increasingly common, consumers are looking for quick and easy breakfast options that can be prepared in a matter of minutes.
Adult segment is expected to have a larger market share for the market in the study period. They are more likely to be diagnosed with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease than children, which means that they are actively seeking out gluten-free options. This trend is driven in part by a growing awareness of gluten intolerance and the health benefits of gluten-free diets among adults. As a result, many manufacturers have introduced a wide variety of gluten-free breakfast cereals that are specifically marketed towards adults with gluten sensitivities.
They are often looking for healthier breakfast options that can help them maintain a balanced diet and lifestyle. Gluten-free breakfast cereals are often perceived as being healthier than traditional cereal options due to the use of whole grains, lower sugar content, and other healthy ingredients. As a result, many adults are turning to gluten-free breakfast cereals as a way to start their day with a healthy and nutritious meal.
Online retailing segment is projected to witness a larger revenue share for the market. It offers consumers the convenience of purchasing gluten-free breakfast cereals from the comfort of their homes, without having to physically visit a store. This is especially attractive to busy consumers who may not have the time to go to a physical store. It allows consumers to access a wider range of gluten-free breakfast cereal options than may be available in physical stores. This is because online retailers are not limited by physical shelf space and can offer a larger variety of products. They often offer competitive pricing for gluten-free breakfast cereals, as they do not have the same overhead costs as physical stores. This can be attractive to cost-conscious consumers who are looking for good value for their money.

This, in turn, is driving demand and contributing to market growth.

As incomes rise, consumers are becoming more willing to pay premium prices for healthier food options, including gluten-free products. In India, celiac disease, an auto-immune condition that is brought on by gluten exposure affects between 6 and 8 million people. This will further fuel the demand for gluten-free breakfast cereals in the coming years.
