Free from dairy was the second-largest category in free from packaged food (behind free-from gluten) in 2021 and the most dynamic. In particular, demand for free from dairy milk is expanding at a rapid rate, despite its relatively high pricing and the economic shock of the pandemic.
Free from gluten remained the largest category in free from packaged food during 2021, with free from gluten baked goods and sweet biscuits particularly popular with local consumers. Local consumer awareness of gluten continues to rise.
Retail current value sales of free from meat, the third-largest free from packaged food category in retail current value terms, continued to expand rapidly during 2021. A growing number of local consumers are following plant-based diets, while others are merely seeking to reduce their consumption of meat without eliminating it completely from their diets.
Regulatory standards for plant-based alternatives in milk and meat are likely to come into force during the forecast period. This standardisation will help to support growth in demand for free from offerings, as it is likely to boost consumer confidence in their quality and safety.
The rate of growth in free from gluten packaged food is expected to remain relatively modest during the forecast period. As a result, free from dairy is set to overtake it in terms of retail current value sales to become the largest category in free from packaged food.
The rate of growth in retail current value sales of free from meat will gradually slow (while remaining robust) over the course of the forecast period as demand begins to mature. New product development in chilled meat and seafood substitutes will be an important driver of growth.
