GLUTEN SENSITIVITY IS GROWING
It is well and world-wide known that the gluten-free market is
rapidly growing due to a growing number of consumers who
need or wish to eliminate or restrict their gluten intake
It is also well known and accepted that “gluten
sensitivity” has been identified and recognized as
responsible of a wide range of disorders.
The key market numbers of “celiac disease” and “gluten sensitivity” can
be extremely synthetized in the following two percentage ranges:
•Average number of celiac people: 1% to 1,5% of the population
•Average number of “gluten sensitive” people: from 5% to 15% of the
population
