Earlier Report Observations

The wheat gluten market in Poland showed high volatility from 2018 to 2020. It expanded sharply in 2019, with volume rising by over a third to 58 820 tons, before contracting by roughly 17% the following year to 48 622 tons.

After a further decline to 39 992 tons in 2021, the market recovered moderately to 42 548 tons in 2022. The most notable change came in 2023, when market size surged by over 60% to reach 70 047 tons, setting a new peak for the observed period.

In 2024, new EU labeling regulations for gluten-free food, including the mandatory use of the Crossed Grain symbol, took effect to improve consumer clarity. The domestic gluten-free sector continues to grow with more certified producers, reflecting rising consumer awareness, while newly introduced packaging rules and taxes on plastics may also influence market conditions.
