The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Gluten-Free Bread Market is expected to witness market growth of 7.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2032).
The Brazil market dominated the LAMEA Gluten-Free Bread Market by country in 2024, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $36 million by 2032. The Argentina market is experiencing a CAGR of 7.7% during 2025-2032. Additionally, the UAE market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.7% during 2025-2032.
Several key trends are shaping the future of the market, reflecting broader consumer behaviour and advancements in food technology. Consumers are growing in preference for healthier, natural, and clean-label products. As a result, many consumers are gravitating toward gluten-free bread made with whole grains, ancient grains like quinoa and millet, and healthier alternatives such as almond flour, chickpea flour, or coconut flour. The move toward low-sugar, high-fiber, and nutrient-dense gluten-free options is expected to continue gaining traction.
Consumers are becoming more conscious of what they put into their bodies, so there is a growing demand for gluten-free bread made with clean-label ingredients. This includes products free from artificial preservatives, flavourings, and additives. Transparency in labelling, especially with certifications like non-GMO and organic, is a growing trend in the market. As the food industry becomes more aware of its environmental impact, there is a rising focus on sustainability in the market. Manufacturers are incorporating eco-friendly packaging, reducing food waste, and focusing on sourcing ingredients responsibly. Consumers are increasingly drawn to brands that prioritize environmental responsibility.
South Africa's food and beverage industry is also witnessing strong recovery and growth. As per the Government of South Africa, the total income generated by this industry rose by 14.9% in February 2023 compared to the same month in 2022 (measured in constant 2019 prices). Bar sales increased by 35.5%, and food sales grew by 13.8%. This uptick reflects increasing consumer footfall in restaurants, cafes, and eateries, where demand for dietary-specific menu items - including gluten-free bread - surges. The foodservice sector’s revival post-pandemic has opened new avenues for gluten-free product suppliers, especially in upscale bakeries and artisan cafes catering to health-aware consumers. In conclusion, growing food service in the UAE, rising retail in Brazil, and a strong F&B sector in South Africa are driving market growth.
