Positive market drivers for breakfast cereal include the return of the hot cereal industry and rising consumer desire for high-end goods. The primary example of a product in the hot cereals category is porridge, which is heated before consumption. The demand for hot cereals has continued to dramatically increase, and it is expected to do so during the predicted period. Most customers already eat their breakfast while in transit due to the increasingly hectic nature of modern existence. Market participants are under pressure to offer more practical solutions in transportable packaging. Additionally, the majority of the top corporations are working to promote cereal as a healthy snack. However, the majority of individuals still hold the view that breakfast is the most significant meal of the day. Therefore, consumers typically select morning cereals that are both filling and invigorating. As a result, there are now more product options available on the market that has more protein and fibre, providing additional health benefits.

Covid-19 Impacts:
A brand-new virus named COVID-19 made a splash in the spring of last year. Governments all around the world understood that this was not a virus that should be taken lightly as a result of the fact that it left many individuals around the world gravely ill and even resulted in a few deaths. Global lockdowns and quarantines were implemented in response by governments. Numerous companies in numerous markets were compelled to either entirely stop operations or drastically slow operations down, if only temporarily. For numerous markets, the outcome was terrible. The market for breakfast cereals was no different. It was challenging for many manufacturers to find the basic components required to construct a variety of breakfast cereals. As a result, the supply of these cereals for the final customer dramatically decreased, and their retail price significantly increased. However, throughout the forecast period, it is anticipated that growing consumer awareness of the health benefits offered by the same will drive market expansion.
