Overview of the global breakfast cereals market
Health conscious consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and wholesome breakfast cereals containing superfoods and essential nutrients. Technavio’s market research study identifies this rising demand for breakfast cereals containing superfoods to be one of the primary growth factors for the breakfast cereals market. Low-calorie cereals containing superfoods have value-added and wholesome health benefits. Manufactures are focusing in developing innovative products and are also marketing these products as more healthy and nutritious. To attract the health-conscious customers, the vendors also focus on listing the health benefits and nutrients of their breakfast cereals in the labels. Our market analysts estimate that this market will generate a revenue of more than USD 36 billion by 2021.
Customers are preferring natural and organic breakfast with healthy and natural ingredients. The growing health awareness is encouraging consumers to curb unhealthy intake and prefer organic breakfast cereals. Several breakfast cereal vendors are developing natural and organic breakfast cereals to cater to the growing consumer demand. For instance, Nature's Path Foods, a USDA-certified manufacturer is offering organic breakfast and snack foods in a wide product portfolio consisting of 150 cold cereals, granolas, hot oatmeal, waffles, bars, and cookies. This growing shift towards organic breakfast cereal will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the breakfast cereals market.
