In 2024, the Philippines continued to see a substantial increase in gluten-free flour import shipments, with top exporters being Vietnam, Turkey, Metropolitan France, Taiwan, Province of China, and Italy. The market remained highly concentrated, indicating strong competition among suppliers. Despite a slight decline in growth rate from 2023, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 was an impressive 29.81%. This suggests a sustained demand for gluten-free flour in the Philippines, with key players vying for market share in this rapidly expanding segment.

The gluten-free flour market in the Philippines is witnessing strong demand due to the rise in home baking and the growing preference for gluten-free diets. Alternative flours such as almond, coconut, rice, and chickpea flour are becoming widely available in supermarkets and online platforms. As awareness of gluten intolerance increases, the demand for high-quality gluten-free flour is expected to continue growing.
The growing demand for gluten-free baking and cooking ingredients is driving the gluten-free flour market in the Philippines. Consumers are increasingly experimenting with alternative flours made from rice, almond, coconut, and chickpeas due to their health benefits. The expansion of home baking trends and the rising number of gluten-free bakeries are further supporting market growth. Additionally, food manufacturers are investing in research and development to improve the texture and performance of gluten-free flour in various culinary applications.
The gluten-free flour market in the Philippines faces supply chain challenges due to reliance on imported specialty flours. The high cost of alternative flours such as almond, cassava, and quinoa makes them less accessible to budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, many home bakers struggle with gluten-free flour blends, as they require additional stabilizers and binding agents to achieve the desired baking results. Limited awareness about the versatility of gluten-free flours also hinders growth.
The rising adoption of alternative flours such as almond, coconut, and rice flour is creating investment opportunities in the Philippines gluten-free flour market. Companies investing in high-quality milling processes, fortified flour blends, and sustainable sourcing can gain a competitive edge. The growth of home baking and gluten-free foodservice offerings further supports market expansion.
The Philippine government is promoting gluten-free flour production by supporting research on alternative grains and tubers. Policies encourage the use of cassava, rice, and coconut flour as gluten-free substitutes. The FDA enforces strict product labeling and food safety standards to protect consumers from misrepresentation.
