The market is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$43.2 bn by the end of 2019. A burgeoning demand for ready-to-eat food products and the staggering rise in number of convenience stores in various parts of the world are factors creating abundant prospects for the evolution of the market.
The two major types of breakfast cereals in the market comprise ready-to-eat and hot cereals. Of these, the ready-to-eat segment clearly holds the sway driven by their extensive uptake, especially in developed nations. The growth in the segment will be fueled by the vastly rising demand for ready-to-eat food products. However, over the forecast period, the other segment will witness a substantially emerging demand in emerging economies.

Regionally, Asia Pacific is an attractive market for breakfast cereals expected to rise at a prominent pace over the forecasts period. The growth is driven by a burgeoning middle class populations in key economies and supported by the swift pace of industrialization in various parts of the region. The constantly changing breakfast consumption patterns toward the consumption of packaged cereals is largely fueling the demand.

The notably increasing acceptance of ready-to-eat food products for breakfast among various populations world over, especially in developing nations, is a key factor stoking the demand for breakfast cereals. The marked shift of people in several developing economies toward western and Mediterranean dietary patterns, coupled with substantial rise in disposal incomes, is a crucial factor driving the overall market.

The vast strides made by the convenience food sector in a number of developing economies in the last few years is a key factor contributing to the growth of the market.

Breakfast Cereals Market Globally Expected to Drive Growth through 2019

The vendor landscape of the global breakfast cereals market includes companies such as PepsiCo., Kellogg Co., General Mills, Cereal Partners Worldwide, Post Holdings, and the Weetabix Food Company. The market players are introducing innovative flavors in breakfast cereals to cater to customers across different regions. The U.S. had been the pioneer market for breakfast cereals. However, during the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as the fastest growing breakfast cereals market, ahead of North America and Europe. In fact, North America and Europe are anticipated to register a decline in the demand for breakfast cereals whereas Asia Pacific is projected to account for around 13% of the overall market by the end of 2019.


As a result, the market players are narrowing down their strategies to expand in this region. The market players are focusing on region-specific breakfast habits to promote their products accordingly. For example, Chinese consumers prefer hot breakfasts containing rice. Hence, the manufacturers are introducing hot breakfast cereals to appeal to customers. “Though China remains a challenging market for these companies, the nation is anticipated to register a strong demand due to hectic lifestyles and an increase in number of young consumers preferring breakfast cereals over traditional Chinese breakfast,” cites a TMR analyst.
Asia Pacific Drives Demand for Hot Breakfast Cereals

Among the major types of breakfast cereals, ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast cereals are more popular across North America and Europe. About 85% of the overall demand for breakfast cereals across these regions consists of RTE cereals. The busy lifestyles of consumers in these regions can be attributed to the growing demand for RTE cereals. However, Asia Pacific proves to be new ground for the breakfast cereals manufacturers as a majority of consumers prefer hot breakfast at the start of the day. Hence, the hot cereals segment is anticipated to register a positive growth in this region and is expected to hold 18% of the overall market by 2019.

Sourcing of Palm Oil Emerges as a Big Threat for Cereal Manufacturers

Change in breakfast habits across the emerging economies has played a pivotal role in the growth of the global breakfast cereals market. The rise in the number of convenience stores in developing nations has increased the brand visibility of breakfast cereals, thereby contributing towards their sale. However, the availability of alternative breakfast options such as baked food products and inexpensive breakfast options from fast food chains might play spoilsport in the growth of the market. Furthermore, the sourcing of palm oil is developing into a big threat for the cereals manufacturers. The global breakfast cereals market has a significant opportunity to grow with the launch of new flavors by the key manufacturers.

The global breakfast cereals market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.10% during the period between 2013 and 2019. The overall market was valued at US$32.5 bn in 2012 and is expected to be worth US$43.2 bn by the end of 2019.

By 2019, in terms of value, the hot breakfast cereals segment is expected to account for 18% of the global breakfast cereals market. Thus, the growing demand for both ready-to-eat and hot breakfast cereals is expected to propel the global breakfast cereals market in the next few years.

Being initially popularized in the United States, breakfast cereals are now commonly consumed by people from across the globe.

The global breakfast cereals market is segmented on the basis of region and product type. By region, the global breakfast cereals market is divided into Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World.

Breakfast Cereals Market Strongly Driven by Rising Global Demand

Global Breakfast Cereals Market: Rising Preference for Convenience Foods to Boost Growth, states TMR

The global breakfast cereals market appears to be consolidated in terms of competition. An intense degree of rivalry exists between the key market players because of low switching costs and lack of diverse products. The top three companies, Cereal Partners, General Mills, and Kellogg’s, held 50 of the total market in2012 in terms of value, states a recent study by Transparency market Research (TMR).


Several market players have been focusing on launching attractive products for widening their consumer pool. ConAgra Foods acquired Ralcorp in January 2013, whereas Post Holdings, a part of Ralcorp Holdings, became an independent company in 2011. After introducing products such as Honey Bunches, Great Grains Protein Blends, and Good Morenings that gained widespread popularity, Post Holdings rose to prominence in the U.S. market, accounting for a share of about 9% in 2012.
As the demand for breakfast cereals grows, the global market for breakfast cereals is expected to achieve revenue worth US$ 43.1 mn by the end of the forecast period, in terms of value. The market will grow at a steady rate, with a CAGR of 4.1%.

RTE Segment to Present Substantial Opportunities

Based on type, the global breakfast cereals market has been categorized into hot cereals and ready-to-eat (RTE) cereals. While the hot cereals segment is constantly expanding because of growing demand in Asia Pacific, the ready-to-eat cereals segment is expected to lead the market on a global scale. According to the findings of TMR, ready-to-eat products held about 85% of the total breakfast cereals market in North America and Europe. The RTE segment is projected to attain US$35.49 mn in these two regions by the end of 2019.

Based on geography, the U.S. has been exhibiting increased demand, accounting for the leading share in North America. Other geographical segments studied in the report include Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. The large population base of Asia Pacific, changing lifestyles, rising per capita income of the people, together with a tendency to follow Western diets, is driving the market for breakfast cereals in the Asia Pacific. The constant increase in the number of convenience stores in countries such as India, Japan, and China is another reason behind the expansion in this region. As an increasing number of women do not find time to cook because of their professional pursuits, the need for a healthy, instantaneous breakfast has arisen. Breakfast cereals, being a viable option, have therefore been increasingly adopted, aiding market expansion. Besides the countries of Asia Pacific, Brazil and Russia will also emerge with great potential, as breakfast cereals grow more popular.

Rising Preference for Convenience Foods to Drive Growth

The increasing rate of urbanization and the consequent emergence of convenience stores, growing preference for convenience foods as the number of working women increases, have been the key growth drivers of the global breakfast cereals market.

Limited access to palm oil, an ingredient used in the production of breakfast cereals, has been one of the key factors restraining growth. Moreover, the availability of a wide range of alternatives such as eggs, toast, and other traditional breakfast dishes is likely to obstruct the growth of the breakfast cereals market. However, the market will witness significant opportunities on account on the rising popularity of RTE products worldwide.

Breakfast Cereals Market is Expected to Rise from US$36.7 bn in 2015 to US$43.2 bn in 2019

The global breakfast cereals market is consolidated with the top three players – Kellogg’s, General Mills, and CP – accounting for 50% of the market in 2012. The threat of substitutes is extremely high for existing companies from breakfast options such as fruits, toast, and eggs. There exists low product differentiation and a negligible switching cost, increasing the intensity of rivalry among players. The threat of new entrants will likely be low as existing players have a strong foothold and global presence, states Transparency Market Research in its new study. As such, new players will find developing a unique brand image a challenge when entering the market. Supermarkets, hypermarkets, and other retail stores are key buyers of breakfast cereals and the bargaining power is low to medium, varying from region to region.

According to the report, the global breakfast cereals market is expected to rise from US$36.7 bn in 2015 to US$43.2 bn in 2019. On the basis of product, the ready to eat (RTE) cereals segment is anticipated to lead and will be worth US$35.39 bn by 2019. By geography, North America will continue to retain its leading position and account for 33% of the market by 2019. The U.S. is the key market for breakfast cereals in North America and is expected to be worth US$9.50 bn by 2019.


Growing Number of Convenience Stores to Aid Growth of Breakfast Cereals Market

The growing number of convenience stores is one of the key contributors boosting the sales of breakfast cereals as people prefer shopping for household utilities and foodstuff under one roof. In addition to this, convenience stores provide more visibility to food brands. The breakfast cereals market is also benefitting from the high demand from emerging economies in Asia Pacific. As consumers in these countries are switching from traditional breakfast items to wholesome breakfasts owing to increasing health consciousness, the breakfast cereals market is expected to grow tremendously.

Opting for Traditional and Snack Breakfasts to Remain a Hurdle for Market

Palm oil, which is essential for the production of breakfast cereals is specific only to a few limited areas as its plantation requires a particular type of climate. Around 90% of palm oil plantations are found in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. This is creating a problem in the procurement of palm oil and becoming a hurdle for the global breakfast cereals market. “Another factor hampering the growth of the market is the busy lifestyles of people compelling them to opt for snack breakfasts to save time,” states a TMR analyst. In addition to this, most countries have their own traditional breakfasts. For instance, congee is the traditional breakfast item in China, whereas bread and other flour-based foods are preferred in India. These alternatives remain a hurdle for the breakfast cereals industry.

New Taste and Flavors in Breakfast Cereals to Create Opportunities in Breakfast Cereals Market

Most manufacturers of breakfast cereals are targeting children and the younger population base to help drive sales. Other age groups offer growth opportunities to players operating in the global breakfast cereals market. In addition to this, products with new tastes and flavors will widen the scope of the market. Companies such as Kellogg’s have targeted the growing number of women consumers in Asia and thus, launched a Special K range of cereals.

This information is based on the findings of a report published by Transparency Market Research, titled “Breakfast Cereals Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019.”

Asia Pacific to Provide Massive Scope for Expansion for the Global Breakfast Cereals Market

A quick look at the 2012 data provided by the NPD Group’s National Eating Trends database reveals the high level of penetration of the breakfast cereals market in developed countries, especially the U.S. U.S. households are exposed to a large variety of breakfast cereals, making innovation the need of the hour. Most cereal makers are resorting to link whole grain products to either health organizations or recognized wellness/fitness programs. Women show a much higher inclination towards healthy breakfast cereals, while children till the age of 12 lean heavily towards pre-sweetened breakfast cereal.


Cereal makers are also trying to battle rising concerns over the rate of childhood obesity by promoting their sugary cereal products more as snacks than daily breakfast foods. The massive link between children and breakfast cereals has put the companies in a position to heed the consumers’ appeals to incorporate healthier options into their breakfast requirements. At the same time, many companies are beginning to recognize the potency of a nostalgic connection that adults may have with popular cereals, and are looking to capitalize on it by reintroducing the foods in their vintage packaging.

The consumer trends and manufacturer promotion tactics paint a colorful picture of the global breakfast cereal market, and yet leave large room for improvement. With the larger population around the world attempting to focus on health more than taste, traditional sugary cereal makers are scrambling to reinvent themselves to keep sales up.

Ready to Eat Cereals Dominate Global Breakfast Cereals Market

The global breakfast cereals market is generally divided into two segments according to their type: Ready to eat (RTE) cereals and hot cereals. All hot cereals require some amount of preparation before they are consumed. On the other hand, RTE cereals require no preparation time and can be served for consumption directly out of the packaging. With the changing lifestyle that makes it difficult to dedicate some time to cook, consumers largely prefer ready-to-eat cereals. They are majorly popular in developed countries from North America and Europe. In fact, the RTE cereal segment currently holds almost 85% of the market share.

The other side of the coin shows the hot cereals segment of the global breakfast cereals market and its preference in select markets. The segment finds large numbers of consumers in the Asian countries where people wish to eat a hot first meal of the day. Due to this, the hot cereals segment in the global breakfast cereals market is expected to gain an 18.0% market share by 2019.

The contrasting nature of the global breakfast cereals market is further clarified by the fact that the Asia Pacific region exhibits the fastest growth rate till 2019, while the North America and Europe breakfast cereal markets are expected to fall in the same time frame.

A Market Driven as a Matter of Convenience

The North American and European breakfast cereal markets being in a rather saturated and relatively stagnant position, the world’s top cereal makers are now looking towards the developing economies of the world to create a sales base. The Asia Pacific region, for example, is now at a stage that makes it comfortable to create a rapid rate of growth for convenience stores. This in turn increases brand visibility of multiple products, including breakfast cereals. Combining this with the growing number of individuals and families with a larger disposable income, key companies are looking at vast expansion options.

A large number of people in emerging nations are beginning to prefer packaged food and cereals to contemporary heavy foods. This is a direct result of the shift in lifestyles towards larger workforces and busy schedules.


With the middle class population in China and India expected to reach 1.2 billion each by 2030, cereal makers are looking at a potentially booming market that is steadily shifting towards convenience for the sake of time management.

Hectic Lifestyle and Changing Food Habits Encourage Global Breakfast Cereals Market’s Growth, TMR Says

The vendor landscape of the global breakfast cereals market includes companies such as PepsiCo., Kellogg Co., General Mills, Cereal Partners Worldwide, Post Holdings, and the Weetabix Food Company. The market players are introducing innovative flavors in breakfast cereals to cater to customers across different regions. The U.S. had been the pioneer market for breakfast cereals. However, during the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as the fastest growing breakfast cereals market, ahead of North America and Europe. In fact, North America and Europe are anticipated to register a decline in the demand for breakfast cereals whereas Asia Pacific is projected to account for around 13% of the overall market by the end of 2019.

As a result, the market players are narrowing down their strategies to expand in this region. The market players are focusing on region-specific breakfast habits to promote their products accordingly. For example, Chinese consumers prefer hot breakfasts containing rice. Hence, the manufacturers are introducing hot breakfast cereals to appeal to customers. “Though China remains a challenging market for these companies, the nation is anticipated to register a strong demand due to hectic lifestyles and an increase in number of young consumers preferring breakfast cereals over traditional Chinese breakfast,” cites a TMR analyst.

Asia Pacific Drives Demand for Hot Breakfast Cereals

Among the major types of breakfast cereals, ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast cereals are more popular across North America and Europe. About 85% of the overall demand for breakfast cereals across these regions consists of RTE cereals. The busy lifestyles of consumers in these regions can be attributed to the growing demand for RTE cereals. However, Asia Pacific proves to be new ground for the breakfast cereals manufacturers as a majority of consumers prefer hot breakfast at the start of the day. Hence, the hot cereals segment is anticipated to register a positive growth in this region and is expected to hold 18% of the overall market by 2019.


Sourcing of Palm Oil Emerges as a Big Threat for Cereal Manufacturers

Change in breakfast habits across the emerging economies has played a pivotal role in the growth of the global breakfast cereals market. The rise in the number of convenience stores in developing nations has increased the brand visibility of breakfast cereals, thereby contributing towards their sale. However, the availability of alternative breakfast options such as baked food products and inexpensive breakfast options from fast food chains might play spoilsport in the growth of the market. Furthermore, the sourcing of palm oil is developing into a big threat for the cereals manufacturers. The global breakfast cereals market has a significant opportunity to grow with the launch of new flavors by the key manufacturers.

The global breakfast cereals market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 4.10% during the period between 2013 and 2019. The overall market was valued at US$32.5 bn in 2012 and is expected to be worth US$43.2 bn by the end of 2019.
