Drivers and Restraints:

Increasing Incidence of Diet-based Diseases to Fuel Market Growth

The number of people diagnosed with ailments resulting from foods that do not align with their dietary needs is rising globally. Conditions such as lactose intolerance, celiac disease, diabetes, and various allergies are becoming increasingly common, driving demand for sugar-free and lactose-free food products.

However, the high costs of these specialty foods may discourage middle-class consumers, potentially limiting sales.
