Market Growth Drivers & Opportunity

  • Rise in health-conscious consumption: With about 1 % of the global population diagnosed with celiac disease and many more experiencing gluten sensitivity, demand for gluten-free alternatives has surged. Additionally, consumers seek gluten-free options as part of overall digestion and wellness strategies.

  • Expansion in retail and foodservice channels: Availability has broadened across supermarkets, online grocery platforms, café chains, fast-casual restaurants, and meal-kit services.

  • Advancements in processing technologies: Innovations like hydrocolloids, improved gum blends, enzyme techniques, and modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) have enhanced tortilla texture, shelf life, and pliability.

These factors open doors for brands to innovate in flavor profiles, nutritional value, and format, making inroads into both retail and foodservice channels.
