Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and presentation
Breakfast cereals are an agglomeration of nutrients, mainly cereals such as wheat, oats or corn, with natural or artificial flavors and sugar.
There are two types of cereal:
- Ready-to-eat cereals are the most common: they include wheat-based cereals, children's cereals, cornflakes and mueslis;
- Ready-to-prepare cereals : mainly oat-based cereals such as porridge.
The breakfast cereals market comprises two distinct types of cereal: adult cereals and children's cereals. Each segment has a different underlying dynamic. Indeed, a health aspect is strongly attached to the children's cereal segment, while a dietary and taste aspect is particularly important in the adult market.
In 2023, the global breakfast cereal market is estimated at US$72 billion, with average growth forecast at 6.5% to 2027. The United States holds a dominant position in this market.
After experiencingan 8% decline in volume in 2021, the French cereals market, favoragedby the Covid period, returned to stability in 2022. Moreover, in 2022, France's trade balance showed a deficit of 50 million euros, marking a deterioration of 12 million euros on the previous year. France's main economic partners in this sector are Belgium, Spain, Germany and Italy .
Numerous players have emerged in recent years, with a gradual fragmentation of the market. These players rely on a demand for niche products such as organic, local products or products perceived as healthy by consumers, such as granola or muesli. This niche demand became particularly acute in 2020 with the pandemic and subsequent confinements, as many French people changed their consumption habits and turned to healthier, more balanced products: to organic products. As a result, the main players in the market have recognized this new trend and are increasingly changing their recipes to achieve Nutri-scores of type A or B.
