Hereis a sneak peak of a story that took place recently. New research from Mintel reveals that sales of free-from foods in the UK are forecast togrow 13% to reach £531 million in 2016, up from an estimated £470 million in 2015.The market growth comes as a result of free-from users widening their repertoires, withalmost half of those who eat or buy free-from saying they are likely to eat more free-from foodin the next year. What’s more, Mintel forecast the market to grow further, to reach £673 millionby 2020.Over the past six months, a third (33%) of Brits have bought or eaten any free-from foods,with 22% buying or eating gluten-free products, 19% dairy substitutes (for instance soyacheese), 16% wheat-free and 16% lactose-free.Additionally the growth in the market comes alongside a rise in product innovation. As free-from continues to flourish, more Brits are avoiding certain ingredients due to their healthcredentials, rather than for medical reasons.
