Market Share by Product Type

Within the food industry, the breakfast food market share is increasing, with cereal and cereal products witnessing a surge in popularity due to their nutritional value and ease of preparation. A serving of breakfast cereals with fruit and milk makes a great balanced breakfast as it helps meet nutritional requirements, providing a significant percentage of nutrients like carbohydrates, dietary fibre, and proteins. Since they are usually low in fat, nutrient-dense and fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, they provide consumers with a wholesome meal while aiding weight management. Cereals are gaining popularity as they are affordable, easy to prepare, and healthy. Opportunities for breakfast cereals lie in new launches that cater to the special taste preferences of regional consumers. For instance, the development of hot and savoury variants for Chinese consumers.

 

Meanwhile, breakfast beverages, such as vegetable juice, plain milk, smoothies, fruit juice, and others, are often consumed as an accompaniment to food. These beverages provide food with a more diversified taste while enhancing the nutritional profile of breakfast. Further, ready-to-eat breakfast foods, such as breakfast meals are convenient to prepare and rich in healthy whole-food ingredients like oats, fruit, nuts, and egg whites.
