Gluten is a storage protein primarily found in rye, barley, and wheat. The main problem with gluten is that it causes Celiac disease, which is a hereditary allergic disease. This disease is also detected in pets and is a result of pet foods containing gluten. Humanization of pet foods has been a growing trend over the recent years. Brands are offering varieties of pet foods besides basic pet foods that have no added preservatives.
The global gluten-free pet food market is currently at a nascent stage, but is expected to witness significant growth in the near future. Demand for regular or basic pet food is substantially high, and with increasing shift towards gluten-free pet food among pet owners, revenue from the overall pet food market is expected to further increase to a significant extent over the forecast period.
This is attributed to an increasing number of pet owners gaining awareness regarding healthy pet food options such as gluten-free products. In addition, increasing number of distribution channels such as physical stores, exclusive outlets for pet-related products, and growing popularity of e-Commerce with exclusive online stores selling pet products is expected to further drive revenues and adoption of gluten-free food products in the near future.
Furthermore, online stores enable potential buyers to access detailed information regarding the products before making a purchase, and also avail discounts being offered for online purchases.

Increasing shift from products containing gluten to gluten-free products is creating major potential for pet food manufacturers.

Natural gluten-free pet foods are produced under stringent regulations and should contain no added flavors or emulsifiers.
