Providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date information and analysis of the Ireland Free-From Foods Market, including the behaviours, preferences and habits of the consumer.
Irish consumers are spending significantly more time at home and with that, we are seeing greater exploration of food and drink. While some are turning towards healthy foods, others are indulging, but both behaviours appear to be benefitting the free-from category, with 38% of NI and 37% of RoI consumers agreeing that COVID-19 has seen them eat/drink more free-from foods, and over half of IoI consumers agreeing they have been trying more different types of free-from in the last six months. For these reasons, the free-from category is booming in 2020 with sales for the IoI market increasing by 12% between 2019 and 2020, up from 8% growth in the previous year. The sales trajectory is expected to continue on its growth path as NPD within free-from foods expands and consumers face greater choice.

The free-from category has experienced exceptional growth in recent years and 2020 was no different. More time spent at home coupled with the closure of foodservice and the bulk-buying behaviours witnessed during the beginning of the pandemic all resulted in increased demand for free-from foods.
