Gluten-free beer can be described as a beer that is devoid of any gluten (a protein primarily found in wheat, barley, and rye). The global gluten-free beer market forms only a minor part of the overall global gluten-free food and beverages market. However, the market has grown significantly over the past five years due to an increase in demand among consumers with celiac disease. Gluten-free beers are manufactured predominantly from ingredients like sorghum, buckwheat, rice millet, corn, and Kebari barley. However, in recent years, companies like Dohler and Koninklijke DSM have come up with innovative techniques to brew gluten-free beer using regular ingredients, such as barley and wheat.

Since warehousing buildings and refrigerated vehicles are fixed assets, companies need to concentrate on building scale and customer networks to stay competitive in this fragmented market.
