Synthèse
Since 2020, the breakfast cereal market has shown signs of significant growth and transition, projecting a 6.5% CAGR through to 2027. The sector is characterized by substantial innovation, an increasing inclination towards organic ingredients, and a shift toward ready-to-eat products. Emerging economies contribute prominently to this upward trend, driven by demographic changes and the adoption of Western dietary habits. In France, sales stabilized in 2022 following an 8% volume drop in 2021, with a notable 7.2% increase in value.
Despite a stable cereal production environment, the French breakfast cereals market remains highly concentrated with Kellogg's and Nestlé leading, holding a combined market share of 65%. International trade for France shows a consistent trade deficit for processed cereals but maintains strong trade relations with countries like Belgium, Spain, and Germany. The market is evolving with niche demands and increasing online presence alongside traditional in-store retail.
Navigating the Evolving French Breakfast Cereal Landscape: Demand, Trends, and Health Consciousness
In the midst of shifting consumer preferences and health trends, the French breakfast cereal market has experienced a remarkable transformation. While the traditional allure of cereals as a convenient breakfast choice remains strong, the market structure reflects a nuanced and evolving demand pattern that places health at the forefront of consumer choices. The market size for breakfast cereals in France holds a value estimated at between 750 and 800 million euros, indicating a robust sector marked by a value growth of approximately 7.2% in recent years. Evidently, economic factors such as inflation have influenced purchasing patterns, prompting an inclination towards value-based decisions, but the appeal for healthy and organic options has not waned.
French consumers, particularly those above the age of 65, continue to affirm their dedication to breakfast as a daily ritual, with over 90% partaking in the meal daily. However, among the working population, nearly 90% disclose consuming breakfast, with a majority doing so in the comfort of their homes. Interestingly, only about 32% of these breakfasts include cereals. When it comes to schoolchildren, nearly 80% maintain a daily breakfast habit, with a focus on fullness and nutritional balance. Diving into specific consumption habits, the prevalence of cereal intake significantly varies across age groups. Youngsters aged 11 to 17 demonstrate the highest rate of consumption at around 45 to 50%, markedly more than adults aged 18 to 79, who have a consumption rate barely surpassing 15%. This insight is reflective of a market where choices are influenced significantly by age, aligning with taste profiles and nutritional priorities segmented by consumer demographics.
The French cereal market has also been subject to increasing scrutiny over healthfulness, with concerns over sugar content and processing levels steering some consumers towards alternatives like quality fresh bread. Consequently, volumes of children's cereals have seen a dip, prompting brands to enhance their offerings with better nutritional profiles, as evidenced by a growing prominence of the Nutri-score on packaging—a system well-recognized and valued by French consumers, with over 75% opting for products with superior nutritional ratings. Aligned with health consciousness, the organic segment has burgeoned, now accounting for around 20% of the market by value. This appetite for "better-for-you" options has given rise to a plethora of organic and local cereal brands, diluting the erstwhile dominance of mainstay players like Kellogg's and Nestlé.
The Breakfast Cereal Titans: Kellogg's and Nestlé Lead the Market with a Plethora of Beloved Brands
When it comes to breakfast cereals, two key players have consistently claimed a sizeable share of the market with their multitude of popular brands - Kellogg's and Nestlé. These giants have not only shaped our morning routines but also impacted global food trends with their innovative offerings and marketing strategies.
- Kellogg's: A Legacy of Breakfast Innovation - Kellogg's stands as a trailblazer in the breakfast cereal industry with a hefty 40% market share, showcasing a diverse portfolio of brands that cater to various tastes and dietary preferences. Among their celebrated brands are All Bran, known for high fiber content, and Coco Pops, beloved by children and those young at heart for its chocolatey goodness. Other household names under their wing include Extra, Frosties, Honey Pops, Rice Krispies, Smacks, and the nutrition-focused Special K. Kellogg's also adeptly captures chocolate enthusiasts with Trésor and caters to traditionalists with their time-honored Kellogg's Corn Flakes.
- Nestlé: A Global Powerhouse in Cereals - Nestlé, in collaboration with General Mills Inc., has formed Cereal Partners Worldwide (CPW S.A.), a powerhouse serving the global market, excluding the USA and Canada, where their presence is similarly felt through various subsidiaries and brands. With a market share comprising a quarter of the cereal market, they've carved a substantial niche for themselves. They boast a lineup including Lion cereals for those craving a decadent start to their day and Fitness for health-conscious consumers. The playful Nesquik and the family-favorite Cheerios balance taste with wholesomeness, while Chocapic, NAT, Golden Grahams, Nestlé Cookie Crips, and Crunch offer distinctive flavors and textures to start the morning right.
Emerging Organic and Healthy Market Entrants :
- While Kellogg's and Nestlé remain dominant, the landscape of breakfast cereals is seeing an increasing presence from niche players offering organic and healthy alternatives. These brands, including Piboom, Bonneterre, Favrichon, Céréco, Bjorg, along with newcomers like Hoope and Funky Veggie, reflect a growing consumer trend towards more health-conscious choices, organic ingredients, and environmentally-friendly practices.
- Private Labels and Diversity in Offerings - Not to be overlooked are private labels, which have been diversifying their offerings to provide cost-effective alternatives.

1 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.

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.
