Growth Opportunities …
The mega-marketer has now entered the category and 2014 will certainly be interesting from a category growth and share taking perspective
Private label and mega marketers are expected to increase the number of offerings substantially and market growth is expected to continue to demonstrate strong growth
Key categories of interest are: deli meats, vodka, almond milk, tortilla chips, dressings & marinades
Beer, baked sweets and bread products are also expected to show strong growth and interest by consumers

The gluten-free market appears to be substantive ($700.0MM) and growing in Canada (+10% per year)
The market size is still not clearly defined as many category segments have not been included (e.g. deli category, dairy)
The estimated 2.5% to 30% of Canadians consuming gluten-free products appears consistent with other category research
The Canadian consumer seems to come from the “Free-From” category and appears to be in the category for the long term based upon a need to avoid certain allergen elements in their food (i.e. dairy, nuts, egg, gluten)
Conclusions…
The report talks to consolidation of gluten-free specialty companies however, Mega Marketer participation demonstrates some very different market activity & dynamics with larger CPG organizations playing very significant roles
Key categories continue to be snack foods and baked goods
However, deli meats, beer, vodka, dressings & marinades are showing strong growth with numerous new product entries
Conclusions…
Canada and the US have some distinct differences in product usage, consumer rationale and legislation
Ontario appears to be a large under serviced market opportunity and Quebec seems over serviced
The retail landscape has shifted to a grocery dominance but box store and Walmart endless aisle strategies are important with further market shifts expected
Online is still under developed in the category
Conclusions…Conclusions…
Consumers are not limited in definition by sex, age, income or regionality (i.e. everyone is gluten-free)
The Canadian consumer seems to be engaged in the category for the long haul as they are motivated by medical and health reasons and not celebrity endorsement
The new product entries by retailers and non dedicated mega-manufacturers has really provided stimulus to the category and this strong growth is expected to continue
