Increasing Adoption of Kosher Food by Vegetarian and Lactose-intolerant Consumers to Drive Market Growth

Growth of the global kosher food market is primarily attributed to concentration of Jewish population in specific regions, coupled with few members of various Christian community. Increasing adoption of kosher foods by vegetarian consumers, health conscious consumers, and patients with lactose intolerance and celiac disorders, is further expected to drive growth of the market. Growing number of kosher food manufacturers are focusing on gluten-free certification owing to high demand from kosher consumers suffering from lactose and gluten intolerance.

In addition, demand for kosher foods is coagulated by “Kosher Fest”- the most prominent and demanded kosher-certified products trade show in the world. Kosher fest promotes food industry manufacturers in certifying their products in accordance with kosher laws. These factors are estimated to fuel adoption of kosher foods across the globe. In contrast, factors such as absence of unified kosher standards, weak supply chain infrastructure as compared to non-kosher foods, and maintaining kosher integrity in supply chain are expected to restrain growth of the global kosher food market.
