The global gluten-free sugar syrup market was valued at USD 1.17 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 1.82 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2024 to 2030. This growth is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of celiac disease, increasing awareness of gluten intolerance, and a broader adoption of health-conscious lifestyles.

The market is benefiting from the wider availability of gluten-free products across retail and online platforms, making it easier for consumers to include them in daily diets. As understanding of gluten-related disorders grows, more consumers are seeking alternatives to traditional food products. In the U.S. alone, approximately 1 in 133 people—or about 1% of the population (2 million individuals)—suffer from celiac disease, though over 80% remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Additionally, many people without formal diagnoses are choosing gluten-free diets, believing such products support better digestion and overall wellness. This shift in consumer behavior is significantly contributing to the increased demand for gluten-free sugar syrups.

Technological advances in extraction and purification have enhanced the production of high-quality gluten-free sugar syrups that retain their natural flavors and nutritional properties. These innovations support large-scale, consistent manufacturing, while modern packaging and preservation techniques have extended product shelf life, improving accessibility and convenience for consumers.

The food service industry and restaurants are also embracing gluten-free sugar syrups to cater to evolving dietary preferences. With increased demand for gluten-free menu items, more establishments are integrating gluten-free sweeteners into recipes. Similarly, the beverage industry, particularly soft drink manufacturers, is incorporating gluten-free sugar syrups to address rising demand for healthier drink options. For example, in April 2024, Pepsi launched a limited-edition Maple Syrup soda in partnership with IHOP. Rather than being sold in cans, the soda is available at IHOP restaurants as a fountain drink or as part of a Pepsi Maple Syrup Cola Float featuring vanilla ice cream.
