Driving Factors

The market is expanding due to increasing demand for ready to eat (RDE) food products that are easy to cook and also easy to handle. The increasing acceptance and popularity of Asian food or cuisine in the world has boosted the demand of cellophane noodles. Additionally, the need for gluten-free food options is rising as celiac disease becomes more common and people become more conscious of their gluten sensitivity. Approximately 1 in 100 people worldwide suffer with celiac disease, and many are unaware that they have it. It is possible that up to 2.5 million Americans suffer from undiagnosed celiac disease. When gluten is consumed, this autoimmune disease causes damage to the small intestine. This need is met by cellophane noodles, which are gluten-free and often made from the starch of sweet potatoes or mung beans. Therefore, the growing number of consumers looking for gluten-free substitutes for conventional wheat-based products is driving the market for cellophane noodles.

Restraints & Challenges

One major deterrent may be the expensive cost of the raw materials needed to make cellophane noodles. The main ingredients, such sweet potato starch and mung bean starch, can be costly, particularly if they are sourced responsibly. Higher production costs may result from this, and customers may pay more as a result, which could lower demand.
