This post discusses which US states have the highest growth in e-demand of gluten totally free products and why they are mostly clustered in the North East of America. See how they contribute to America growing at almost 40% per year! .
Recently analysis was carried out for Gluten Free Pages on the growth of whole country gluten totally free e-markets (utilizing Google data) for the United States, Australia, Canada and the UK.
That research study revealed that the US (42%) and Canada (18%) had the biggest growth (gluten complimentary searches on Google from 2004 to 2009), while Australia had 10% per annum development and UK essentially zero.This information is tempered by the actual base level of searches in each nation. Previous analysis of what is termed ‘Celiac searches/ mth’ within each country ranks the 4 nations of interest as: Australia (4.2 searches), Canada (3.3 ), U.S.A. (2.7) and UK (2.2 ). The analysis adjusts values to take account of web use and Google market share. Obviously the US has the biggest population of each nation under analysis so in absolute terms the United States has the most searches (over 3 million) however ‘searches per celiac’ offers a truer indication (level of saturation) of a market in each country.
The GFP Matrix is a construct that compares a nation’s ‘celiac searches each month’ V ‘GDP per person’. This analysis shows that there is a logarithmic relationship in between these 2 variables. That is, the greater the wealth of a nation, the greater the medical diagnosis and the greater the e-demand for gluten totally free products.To much better comprehend the dynamics of these each countries markets it is best to examine the lowest level of analysis that Google enables -down to state level. To start with consider the US. AMERICAN STATES Following this theory of country
wealth being related to
the level of gluten free enterprise maturity, it is beneficial to compare the top 10 economic US states with the bottom ten states and see if this guideline applies within countries.The information listed below is” measured by typical household income “and is sourced from: The U.S. Census Bureau in 2007. The 10 wealthiest states with the highest mean home income STATE EARNINGS POPULATION Maryland $65,144 5,296,486 New
Jersey $64,470 8,414,350 Connecticut$ 63,422 3,405,565 Hawaii$ 61,160 1,211,537 Massachusetts $59,963 6,349,097 New Hampshire $59,683 1,235,786 Alaska$ 59,393 626,932 California $56,645 33,871,648 Virginia$ 56,277 7,078,515 Minnesota $ 54,023 4,919,479 The 10 poorest states with

Arkansas $36,599 2,673,400 West Virginia $ 35,059 1,808,344 Mississippi $34,473 2,844,658 United States POOREST STATES ANALYSIS
For the three poorest states in the US, Google” does not have enough search volume to reveal charts.” Of the other seven, information just begins in late 2008
and is really intermittent and unreliable. You may
consider that the Google information cut off uses
due to the fact that of low searches brought on by low state populations. This may appear also appear to be the case for abundant states too as the three’ rich
states ‘out of the leading 10 that do not have
data record( Hawaii, New Hampshire
, Alaska) ALL have populations under 1.3 million
people. However two of the abundant
states that Google’s does record information for: Connecticut( pop 3,405,565 )and Minnesota (pop 4,919,479) both have lower populations than four of the poorest ten states that do not have a Google record. This eliminates population
size as the only predictor of data accessibility or market maturity. Two preliminary most likely causes that might cause lack of information for low wealth populated states is that they are most likely to have low internet usage and low medical diagnosis rates. Without medical diagnosis, their requirement for gluten free products would not exist and search demand would be really low. US RICHEST States analysis Data is available for Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, California, Virginia and Minnesota. Information is not available for Hawaii, New Hampshire, Alaska.The similarity in growth profiles between the ALL American development trend and the rich states suggests that these states have the a lot of effect on the total countries development in general. It is noted that the vast majority of these wealthy states are all geographically close by to each other in the north east of America, so they are likely to have cultural similarities.The’ ALL American ‘gluten totally free e-demand growth trend is among the greatest of all the industrialized nations under analysis. Of the leading 10 wealth states in the US, California has the biggest population however has only an average market growth rates, compared to the other rich states. High wealth is most likely to be consisted of in its largest cities like San Francisco and LA with
local wealth and interest in gluten totally free searches reducing the overall growth rate. Also as an entire the state is likely to have actually accomplished its development reasonably early and might have a high outright search numbers currently, decreasing its growth rate capacity. Most affordable growth rate HIGH WEALTH states Connecticut and Maryland are the first and third highest wealth states in all of America yet over the last couple of years they have had the most affordable of the abundant states development rates. In specific Maryland has the greatest ‘wealth per population ‘worth and the most affordable growth profile. This might imply that it has actually currently peaked in outright search terms or that it just isn’t growing as quick as expected. Of equivalent influence maybe that Maryland state while having a high population of 5,296,486 and a high density of 222 people per square km, however it has a relatively small’ biggest city’ of Baltimore with around 635,000 people. Connecticut is the third richest state but just has a population of 3.4 million people. Connecticut area is 12,548 square km with a population density of 279 people per square km however again its largest
city is Bridgeport with a population of 140,000. It is believed that besides the need to have a minimum state population, that a reasonably high urbanization may be required to attain crucial mass of both medical diagnosis, word of mouth and a considerable gluten complimentary market.Highest growth rate HIGH WEALTH states Massachusetts( popn 6,349,097, sq km 20,305, popn density 320) is said to have most of its population in the Boston city area. Boston itself has a population of 600,000. Virginia is the highest development of the most affluent states. (popn 7,078,515, Location is 102,547 sq km, popn density 75 ). The population density is low, but this is because compared to the other states evaluated above, it has among the biggest locations
. Nevertheless with its big area, it still has a really high level of urbanization, with its leading 5 cities accounting for nearly 1 million people: Virginia Beach, 438,415; Norfolk, 231,954; Chesapeake, 218,968; Arlington, 195,965; Richmond, 193,777; For America, It would appear that high wealth, high urbanization, and states above four million individuals are needed to produce the highest development in gluten free demand.AUSTRALIA Australia’s three most populated states and capital cities( abs information June 2007) are: NSW 6,888 M( Sydney=
4.334 M) VIC 5.204 M( Melbourne 3.805 M) QLD 4.181
M (Brisbane 1.857 M) TOTAL Australia population= 21.015 M From the population details it can be seen that the 3 biggest states in Australia comprise most of Australia
‘s population, and within those states, the populations are largely within the capital cities. At the start of this post it was stated that Australia has a’ celiac search each month ‘value of 4.4 compared to America’s 2.2. Thus while Australia has a much greater search value per celiac, its gluten complimentary search development rate is much less than America since it is more detailed to maturity and plateuing. The net worth data reveals that apart from home costs (much higher in Sydney than Melbourne) that Sydney and Melbourne have a similar
wealth profiles. As these 2 cities have comparable populations, level of urbanization, wealth, education and race profiles it can be seen that their gluten free growth patterns are likewise really
similar. Also note that similar to the less populous states in America, Brisbane is the lower wealth and lower population capital city, of the three states
analyzed in Australia, which has led to it having
the least expensive development trend of the three biggest
states.The high level of urbanization( big percentage
of state populations in large cities) appears to be one of the primary reasons that Australia’s’ celiac search/ mth’ rate is higher than the US.CONCLUSIONS From the analysis of America’s top ten wealthiest states and Australia’s three wealthiest states, it appears that the wealth of a state( per individual) is a good sign of the gluten totally free searches DEVELOPMENT trend( and probably the awareness of celiac disease). The highest’ wealth per individual ‘states have a much higher development rate of gluten complimentary markets compared to the poorer states. This suggests that the marketplaces are still in their infancy as the high wealth states are growing quick but starting off a low base. This remains in line with basic low medical diagnosis rates.It also appears that there is a population threshold for states where gluten free signs up in the’ publics consciousness ‘to have them browse in sufficient numbers to be recognized by Google. For example Connecticut (population 3,405 M )is the 3rd richest US state( per individual ), however it has among the lower populations and lower urbanizations, which leads to among the most affordable growth trends of the wealthy US states. Queensland’s capital, Brisbane (population 1. 857M), is a lower percentage of the state’s
overall population (compared to NSW and VIC) which causes QLD having a gluten totally free search growth profile that is substantially lower than VIC or NSW.It would also appear that a high wealth states with high urbanization
are also likely to have possibly higher educated populations and most likely to look for out resolutions to health conditions such are triggered by things like celiac disease. Rich states that are more rural populations are most likely to have less access to internet , and have less knowledgeable( concerning celiac disease medical diagnosis )medical professionals causing less gluten demand and low gluten demand growth rates. At the other end of the scale it appears that the largest wealthy states are most likely to have currently created a considerable base for gluten totally free searchers several years earlier and hence the relative development trends of the wealthy most populated cities in America( California) and Australia (Sydney) are not the highest growth pattern states since they are starting off a high base and may be somewhat more mature markets. -Gluten Free Diet Plan
